Psalm 68:24

They have seen your processions, God, even the processions of my God, my King, into the sanctuary.

22The Lord said, “I will bring you again from Bashan, I will bring you again from the depths of the sea,
23that you may crush them, dipping your foot in blood, that the tongues of your dogs may have their portion from your enemies.”
24They have seen your processions, God, even the processions of my God, my King, into the sanctuary.
25The singers went before, the minstrels followed after, among the ladies playing with tambourines,
26“Bless God in the congregations, even the Lord in the assembly of Israel!”
