Psalm 68:1-35 LSB

[1] Let God arise, let His enemies be scattered, And let those who hate Him flee before Him. [2] As smoke is driven away, so drive them away; As wax melts before the fire, So let the wicked perish before God. [3] But let the righteous be glad; let them exult before God; And let them rejoice with gladness. [4] Sing to God, sing praises to His name; Lift up a song for Him who rides through the deserts, Whose name is Yah, and exult before Him. [5] A father of the fatherless and a judge for the widows, Is God in His holy habitation. [6] God causes the lonely to inhabit a home; He leads out the prisoners into prosperity, Only the rebellious dwell in a parched land. [7] O God, when You went forth before Your people, When You marched through the wasteland, Selah. [8] The earth quaked; The heavens also dripped rain at the presence of God; Sinai itself quaked at the presence of God, the God of Israel. [9] You caused abundant rain to sprinkle down, O God; You established Your inheritance when it was parched. [10] Your creatures inhabited it; You established it in Your goodness for the poor, O God. [11] The Lord gives the word; The women who proclaim the good news are a great host: [12] “Kings of armies retreat, they retreat, And she who remains at home will divide the spoil!” [13] If you men lie down among the sheepfolds, You all would be like the wings of a dove covered with silver, And its pinions with glistening gold. [14] When the Almighty dispersed the kings there, It was snowing in Zalmon. [15] A mountain of God is the mountain of Bashan; A mountain of many peaks is the mountain of Bashan. [16] Why do you look with envy, O mountains with many peaks, At the mountain which God has prized for His habitation? Surely Yahweh will dwell there forever. [17] The chariots of God are myriads, thousands upon thousands; The Lord is among them as at Sinai, in holiness. [18] You have ascended on high, You have led captive Your captives; You have received gifts among men, Even among the rebellious also, that Yah—God—may dwell there. [19] Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears our burden, The God who is our salvation. Selah. [20] God is to us a God of salvation; And to Yahweh the Lord belong escapes from death. [21] Surely God will crush the head of His enemies, The hairy skull of him who goes on in his guilty deeds. [22] The Lord said, “I will bring them back from Bashan. I will bring them back from the depths of the sea; [23] That your foot may crush them in blood, The tongue of your dogs may have its portion from your enemies.” [24] They have seen Your procession, O God, The procession of my God, my King, into the sanctuary. [25] The singers went on, the musicians after them, In the midst of the maidens beating tambourines. [26] Bless God in the congregations, Yahweh, the fountain of Israel. [27] There is Benjamin, the youngest, having dominion over them, The princes of Judah in their throng, The princes of Zebulun, the princes of Naphtali. [28] Your God has commanded your strength; Show Yourself strong, O God, who has worked on our behalf. [29] Because of Your temple at Jerusalem Kings will bring gifts to You. [30] Rebuke the beast in the reeds, The herd of bulls with the calves of the peoples, Trampling under foot the pieces of silver; He has cast out the peoples who delight in war. [31] Envoys will come out of Egypt; Ethiopia will quickly 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, which are from ancient times; Behold, He gives forth His voice, a voice that is strong. [34] Ascribe strength to God; His majesty is over Israel And His strength is in the skies. [35] O God, You are awesome from Your sanctuary. The God of Israel Himself gives strength and might to the people. Blessed be God!
