Psalms Chapter 68
| 1 | 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 rejoice before God: yea, let them exceedingly rejoice. | 4 | Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth upon the heavens by his name JAH, and rejoice 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 those which are bound with chains: but the rebellious dwell in a dry land. | 7 | O God, when thou wentest forth before thy people, when thou didst march through the wilderness; Selah: | 8 | The 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. | 9 | Thou, O God, didst send a plentiful rain, whereby thou didst confirm thine inheritance, when it was weary. | 10 | Thy congregation hath dwelt therein: thou, O God, hast prepared of thy goodness for the poor. | 11 | The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that published it. | 12 | Kings of armies did flee apace: and she that tarried at home divided the spoil. | 13 | Though ye have lien among the pots, yet shall ye be as the wings of a dove covered with silver, and her feathers with yellow gold. | 14 | When the Almighty scattered kings in it, it was white as snow in Salmon. | 15 | The hill of God is as the hill of Bashan; an high hill as the hill of Bashan. | 16 | Why leap ye, ye high hills? this is the hill which God desireth to dwell in; yea, the LORD will dwell in it for ever. | 17 | The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands of angels: the Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in the holy place. | 18 | Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive: thou hast received gifts for men; yea, for the rebellious also, that the LORD God might dwell among them. | 19 | Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah. | 20 | He that is our God is the God of salvation; and unto God the Lord belong the issues from death. | 21 | But God shall wound the head of his enemies, and the hairy scalp of such an one as goeth on still in his trespasses. | 22 | The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will bring my people again from the depths of the sea: | 23 | That thy foot may be dipped in the blood of thine enemies, and the tongue of thy dogs in the same. | 24 | They have seen thy goings, O God; even the goings of my God, my King, in the sanctuary. | 25 | The singers went before, the players on instruments followed after; among them were the damsels playing with timbrels. | 26 | Bless ye God in the congregations, even the Lord, from the fountain of Israel. | 27 | There is little Benjamin with their ruler, the princes of Judah and their council, the princes of Zebulun, and 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 shall kings bring presents unto thee. | 30 | Rebuke the company of spearmen, the multitude of the bulls, with the calves of the people, till every one submit himself with pieces of silver: scatter thou the people that delight in war. | 31 | Princes shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall soon stretch out her hands unto God. | 32 | Sing unto God, ye kingdoms of the earth; O sing praises unto the Lord; Selah: | 33 | To him that rideth upon the heavens of heavens, which were of old; lo, he doth send out his voice, and that a mighty voice. | 34 | Ascribe ye strength unto God: his excellency is over Israel, and his strength is in the clouds. | 35 | O God, thou art terrible out of thy holy places: the God of Israel is he that giveth strength and power unto his people. Blessed be God. |
