Commentary on Psalms 68:2
The imagery of smoke driven away and wax melting before fire depicts the total inability of God's enemies to withstand His presence. 'Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered' echoes Numbers 10:35, the prayer when the ark moved forward. Smoke disperses helplessly before wind; wax loses all form before heat—so the wicked perish before God's holiness. This isn't vindictive delight in destruction but affirmation that evil cannot coexist with absolute holiness and justice.
