Psalms 68
- 1Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered: let them also that hate him flee before him.
- 2As smoke is driven away, so drive them away: as wax melts before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God.
- 3But let the righteous be glad. Let them rejoice before God: yes, let them greatly rejoice.
- 4Sing to God, sing praises to his name: praise him who rides on the heavens by his name Jah, and rejoice before him.
- 5A father to orphans, and a defender of widows, is God in his holy home.
- 6God sets the solitary in families: he brings out those which are bound with chains: but the rebellious live in a dry land.
- 7O God, when you went out before your people, when you marched through the wilderness, Selah:
- 8The earth shook, the heavens also dropped at the presence of God: even Sinai itself was moved at the presence of God, the God of Israel.
- 9You, O God, did send a plentiful rain, by which you confirmed your inheritance, when it was weary.
- 10Your congregation has lived in it: you, O God, have prepared of your goodness for the poor.
- 11The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that published it.
- 12Kings of armies did flee quickly: and she who stayed at home divided the plunder.
- 13Though you have lain among the pots, yet you shall be as the wings of a dove covered with silver, and her feathers with yellow gold.
- 14When the Almighty scattered kings in it, it was white as snow in Salmon.
- 15The hill of God is as the hill of Bashan, a high hill as the hill of Bashan.
- 16Why do you leap, you high hills? This is the hill which God desires to live in. Yes, the Lord will live in it for ever.
- 17The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands of angels: the Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in the holy place.
- 18You have ascended on high, you have led captivity captive: you have received gifts for men. Yes, for the rebellious also, that the Lord God might live among them.
- 19Blessed be the Lord, who daily loads us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah.
- 20He who is our God is the God of salvation, and to God the Lord belong the ways of escape from death.
- 21But God shall wound the head of his enemies, and the hairy scalp of such a one as goes on still in his sins.
- 22The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will bring my people again from the depths of the sea:
- 23That your foot may be dipped in the blood of your enemies, and the tongue of your dogs in the same.
- 24They have seen your steps, O God, even the steps of my God, my King, in the sanctuary.
- 25The singers went before, the players on instruments followed after. Among them were the girls playing with tambourines.
- 26Bless God in the congregations, even the Lord, from the fountain of Israel.
- 27There is little Benjamin with their ruler, the princes of Judah and their council, the princes of Zebulun, and the princes of Naphtali.
- 28Your God has commanded your strength: strengthen, O God, that which you have worked for us.
- 29Because of your temple at Jerusalem shall kings bring presents to you.
- 30Rebuke the company of spearmen, the great number of the bulls, with the calves of the people, till every one submit himself with pieces of silver: scatter the people who delight in war.
- 31Princes shall come out of Egypt. Ethiopia shall soon stretch out her hands to God.
- 32Sing to God, you kingdoms of the earth, O sing praises to the Lord, Selah:
- 33To him who rides on the heavens of heavens, which were of old. He does send out his voice, and that a mighty voice.
- 34Ascribe strength to God: his majesty is over Israel, and his strength is in the clouds.
- 35O God, you are awesome out of your holy places: the God of Israel is he who gives strength and power to his people. Blessed be God.
