What does Psalms Chapter 67 say, and which statements belong to its speaker?

The Latin incipit is Exurgat Deus. The separate heading interprets New Testament church establishment through Israel's benefits. The inscription names David. The speaker asks God to arise, scatter haters like smoke and melting wax and let the just feast and rejoice. He calls singing and a way for Him ascending upon the west. The separate note gives Gregory's interpretation of Christ's descent in passion and ascent and Jerome's alternative ascent through deserts.

God is called father of orphans and judge of widows, making people of one manner dwell in a house and bringing out those strongly bound and provoking dwellers in sepulchres. The note interprets unity of faith, love and discipline in the church and restoration from sins and evil habits. The speaker recalls desert passage, moved earth and dropped heavens before Sina's God. Free rain shall be set aside for inheritance, weakened but made perfect. The separate note interprets manna and providential support to the promised land, then church grace and tribulations fitting for glory. Animals shall dwell and God provided for poor; another note identifies a church fold and sheep.

The Lord shall give powerful preachers the word, separately interpreted as gospel evangelists. The king of powers is of the beloved and house beauty shall divide spoils. The note interprets Lord of hosts with Christ and spiritual conquests, then gives an alternative Hebrew reading of fleeing army kings. The latter is not silently substituted for the admitted verse. Sleeping among lots is conditional, with silver-and-gold dove wings; the note offers persecutions or enemy borders with protection, flight, virtue and charity. Appointed kings and snow in Selmon receive a separate apostles-and-successors interpretation. The fat curdled mountain and God's chosen dwelling receive notes about the church's gifts and one favored mountain, not a separately named Mount Sion scene.

God's chariot has ten thousands rejoicing with the Lord in Sina. The note interprets joyful angels at lawgiving and Christ's ascent sending the Spirit. The speaker recalls high ascent, captive captivity and received gifts in men even for unbelievers; the note explains former Satan captives and gifts received for distribution. Daily blessing anticipates a prosperous journey and names God salvation and death's issues, separately explained as escape mastered by the Lord.

God shall break enemies' heads. The Lord says He will turn them from Basan into sea's depths, with foot dipped and dogs' tongue red in blood. The separate note explains removal from rich possessions and slaughter. Observed divine goings receive a note contrasting past promised-land possession and future world subjection to the Son. Princes went before joined with singers amid timbrel-playing damsels, not a newly staged procession of reversed order. The note interprets apostles, perfect souls and virgins. Blessing in churches from Israel's fountains precedes Benjamin's youthful ecstasy and Juda, Zabulon and Nephthali princes; the note offers Paul and other apostles as interpretations.

The speaker asks confirmation of God's work; the note explains commanded strength. Kings shall offer temple presents. A request rebukes reed beasts and bulls with people's kine excluding silver-tried ones and scatters war-loving nations. The note offers devils or persecutors, weak reeds, subjects and confessors tried like silver. Egyptian ambassadors shall come and Ethiopia stretch hands, separately interpreted as Gentile conversion. Kingdoms are called to sing to Him mounting heaven to the east and future powerful voice; the note identifies Olivet and sinners called to life and future graves' resurrection. Glory for Israel and power in clouds lead to God wonderful in saints, future power and strength for people, and blessing.
