CHAPTER 68

1
For the choirmaster.
A Psalm
Of David.
A Song.
God
arises.
His enemies
are scattered,
and those who hate
Him flee
His presence.
2
As smoke
is blown away,
You will drive them out;
as wax
melts
before
the fire,
the wicked
will perish
in the presence
of God.
3
But the righteous
will be glad
and rejoice
before
God;
they will celebrate
with joy.
4
Sing
to God!
Sing praises
to His name.
Exalt
the One who rides
on the clouds—
His name
is the LORD—
and rejoice
before Him.
5
A father
of the fatherless,
and a defender
of the widows,
is God
in His holy
habitation.
6
God
settles
the lonely
in families;
He leads
the prisoners out
to prosperity,
but
the rebellious
dwell
in a sun-scorched land.
7
O God,
when You went out
before
Your people,
when You marched
through the wasteland,
Selah
8
the earth
shook
and
the heavens
poured down rain
before
God,
the One
on Sinai,
before
God,
the God
of Israel.
9
You sent
abundant
rain,
O God;
You
refreshed
Your weary
inheritance.
10
Your flock
settled
therein;
O God,
from Your bounty
You provided
for the poor.
11
The Lord
gives
the command;
a great
company
of women proclaim it:
12
“Kings
and their armies
flee
in haste;
she who waits
at home
will divide
the plunder.
13
Though
you lie down
among
the sheepfolds,
the wings
of the dove
are covered
with silver,
and her feathers
with shimmering
gold.”
14
When the Almighty
scattered
the kings
in the land
it was like the snow falling
on Zalmon.
15
A mountain
of God
is the hill
of Bashan;
a mount
of many peaks
is Mount
Bashan.
16
Why
do you gaze in envy,
O mountains
of many peaks?
This is the mountain
God
chose
for His dwelling,
where the LORD
will surely
dwell
forever.
17
The chariots
of God
are tens of thousands—
thousands
of thousands are they;
the Lord
is in
His sanctuary
as He was at Sinai.
18
You have ascended
on high;
You have led captives away.
You have received
gifts
from men,
even
from the rebellious,
that the LORD
God
may dwell there.
19
Blessed be
the Lord,
who daily
bears our burden,
the God
of our salvation.
Selah
20
Our God
is a God
of deliverance;
the Lord
GOD
is our rescuer
from death.
21
Surely
God
will crush
the heads
of His enemies,
the hairy
crowns
of those who persist
in guilty ways.
22
The Lord
said,
“I will retrieve them
from Bashan,
I will bring them up
from the depths
of the sea,
23
that
your foot
may be dipped
in the blood
of your foes,
the tongues
of your dogs
in the same.”
24
They have seen
Your procession,
O God—
the march
of my God
and King
into the sanctuary.
25
The singers
lead the way,
the musicians
follow after,
among
the maidens
playing tambourines.
26
Bless
God
in the great congregation,
bless the Lord
from the fountain
of Israel.
27
There is
Benjamin,
the youngest,
ruling them,
the princes
of Judah
in their company,
the princes
of Zebulun
and
of Naphtali.
28
Summon
Your power,
O God;
show Your strength,
O God,
which
You have exerted
on our behalf.
29
Because of Your temple
at
Jerusalem
kings
will bear
you
gifts.
30
Rebuke
the beast
in the reeds,
the herd
of bulls
among the calves
of the nations,
until it submits,
bringing bars
of silver.
Scatter
the nations
who delight
in war.
31
Envoys
will arrive
from
Egypt;
Cush
will stretch out
her hands
to God.
32
Sing
to God,
O kingdoms
of the earth;
sing praises
to the Lord,
Selah
33
to Him who rides
upon the highest
heavens
of old;
behold,
His mighty
voice
resounds.
34
Ascribe
the power
to God,
whose majesty
is over
Israel,
whose strength
is in the skies.
35
O God,
You are awesome
in Your sanctuary;
the God
of Israel
Himself
gives
strength
and power
to His people.
Blessed
be God!
