What Does Psalms 68:28 Mean?
The verse continues the assembly's petition: 'Thy God hath commanded thy strength' likely addresses the people or leaders, asserting that God has authorized and empowered them. The second clause then turns to God: 'strengthen that which thou hast wrought'—asking God to sustain and deepen what he has already created or accomplished among his people.
This combines trust in God's previous work with intercession for its continuation and strength. The people acknowledge that any power they possess comes from God's command, and any work of lasting value depends on God maintaining it. It is both affirmation and humble petition.
