68:24-27 The Procession. These verses describe a procession of Israelites, which consists of singers, followed by virgins playing tambourines, with the musicians last, as they enter into the sanctuary in a worship setting. Included in the procession are princes from the various tribes (Benjamin, Judah, Zebulun, and Naphtali probably represent the whole of Israel). Verse 26 is apparently a summary of their song. The mention of these tribes indicates that the psalm dates from before the kingdom was divided, when Benjamin and Judah became the southern kingdom, while Zebulun and Naphtali became part of the northern kingdom.
