Chapter 68

1


 

   For the Chief Musician; A Psalm of David, a song. Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered; Let them also that hate him flee before him.  

 

 

-

2


 

  As smoke is driven away, so drive them away: As wax melteth before the fire, So let the wicked perish at the presence of God.  

 

 

-

3


 

  But let the righteous be glad; let them exult before God: Yea, let them rejoice with gladness.  

 

 

-

4


 

  Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: Cast up a highway for him that rideth through the deserts; His name is Jehovah; and exult ye before him.  

 

 

-

5


 

  A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, Is God in his holy habitation.  

 

 

-

6


 

  God setteth the solitary in families: He bringeth out the prisoners into prosperity; But the rebellious dwell in a parched land.  

 

 

-

7


 

  O God, when thou wentest forth before thy people, When thou didst march through the wilderness; Selah  

 

 

-

8


 

  The earth trembled, The heavens also dropped [rain] at the presence of God: Yon Sinai [trembled] at the presence of God, the God of Israel.  

 

 

-

9


 

  Thou, O God, didst send a plentiful rain, Thou didst confirm thine inheritance, when it was weary.  

 

 

-

10


 

  Thy congregation dwelt therein: Thou, O God, didst prepare of thy goodness for the poor.  

 

 

-

11


 

  The Lord giveth the word: The women that publish the tidings are a great host.  

 

 

-

12


 

  Kings of armies flee, they flee; And she that tarrieth at home divideth the spoil.  

 

 

-

13


 

  When ye lie among the sheepfolds, [It is as] the wings of a dove covered with silver, And her pinions with yellow gold.  

 

 

-

14


 

  When the Almighty scattered kings therein, [It was as when] it snoweth in Zalmon.  

 

 

-

15


 

  A mountain of God is the mountain of Bashan; A high mountain is the mountain of Bashan.  

 

 

-

16


 

  Why look ye askance, ye high mountains, At the mountain which God hath desired for his abode? Yea, Jehovah will dwell [in it] for ever.  

 

 

-

17


 

  The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands upon thousands; The Lord is among them, [as in] Sinai, in the sanctuary.  

 

 

-

18


 

  Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led away captives; Thou hast received gifts among men, Yea, [among] the rebellious also, that Jehovah God might dwell [with them].  

 

 

-

19


 

  Blessed be the Lord, who daily beareth our burden, Even the God who is our salvation. Selah  

 

 

-

20


 

  God is unto us a God of deliverances; And unto Jehovah the Lord belongeth escape from death.  

 

 

-

21


 

  But God will smite through the head of his enemies, The hairy scalp of such a one as goeth on still in his guiltiness.  

 

 

-

22


 

  The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will bring [them] again from the depths of the sea;  

 

 

-

23


 

  That thou mayest crush [them], [dipping] thy foot in blood, That the tongue of thy dogs may have its portion from [thine] enemies.  

 

 

-

24


 

  They have seen thy goings, O God, Even the goings of my God, my King, into the sanctuary.  

 

 

-

25


 

  The singers went before, the minstrels followed after, In the midst of the damsels playing with timbrels.  

 

 

-

26


 

  Bless ye God in the congregations, Even the Lord, [ye that are] of the fountain of Israel.  

 

 

-

27


 

  There is little Benjamin their ruler, The princes of Judah [and] their council, The princes of Zebulun, the princes of Naphtali.  

 

 

-

28


 

  Thy God hath commanded thy strength: Strengthen, O God, that which thou hast wrought for us.  

 

 

-

29


 

  Because of thy temple at Jerusalem Kings shall bring presents unto thee.  

 

 

-

30


 

  Rebuke the wild beast of the reeds, The multitude of the bulls, with the calves of the peoples, Trampling under foot the pieces of silver: He hath scattered the peoples that delight in war.  

 

 

-

31


 

  Princes shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall haste to stretch out her hands unto God.  

 

 

-

32


 

  Sing unto God, ye kingdoms of the earth; Oh sing praises unto the Lord; Selah  

 

 

-

33


 

  To him that rideth upon the heaven of heavens, which are of old; Lo, he uttereth his voice, a mighty voice.  

 

 

-

34


 

  Ascribe ye strength unto God: His excellency is over Israel, And his strength is in the skies.  

 

 

-

35


 

  O God, [thou art] terrible out of thy holy places: The God of Israel, he giveth strength and power unto [his] people. Blessed be God.
