Psalms 68:24
22 The Lord said, “I will retrieve them from Bashan, I will bring them up from the depths of the sea,
23 that your foot may be dipped in the blood of your foes— the tongues of your dogs in the same.”
They have seen Your procession, O God— the march of my God and King into the sanctuary.
25 The singers lead the way, the musicians follow after, among the maidens playing tambourines.
26 Bless God in the great congregation; bless the LORD from the fountain of Israel.
This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
