Thou, O God, didst send a plentiful rain, whereby thou didst confirm thine inheritance, when it was weary.
The verse comes after God marched before His people through the wilderness, when the earth shook and the heavens dropped at Sinai. It belongs with His care as father of the fatherless and judge of widows, who sets the solitary in families and brings out the bound with singing while the rebellious dwell in a dry land. It leads on to His congregation dwelling there, where in goodness He prepared for the poor, and to the Lord giving the word that is published by a great company.
The plentiful rain is generous provision, a shower of free-will gifts sent by God upon a tired inheritance. By that rain He establishes and sustains His weary inheritance, confirms and revives it, and renews His people.
Psalm 68 is a song of victory prophetic of Christ in His triumph.
As latter-day prophecy the verse foretells the outpouring of the Holy Spirit in the latter rain of the third angel's message to confirm and strengthen God's weary inheritance. It meets its fulfillment in the closing work of the third angel's message. It applies especially to the remnant church at that time.
