Psalms 68:30

28 Summon Your power, O God; show Your strength, O God, which You have exerted on our behalf.

29 Because of Your temple at Jerusalem kings will bring You gifts.

Rebuke the beast in the reeds, the herd of bulls among the calves of the nations, until it submits, bringing bars of silver. Scatter the nations who delight in war.

31 Envoys will arrive from Egypt; Cush will stretch out her hands to God.

32 Sing to God, O kingdoms of the earth; sing praises to the Lord— Selah

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.
