Psalm 68:1-35 KJ21
[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 Jehovah; 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 who 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 proclaimed it. [12] Kings and armies did flee apace, and she that tarried at home divided the spoil. [13] Though ye have lain 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 Zalmon. [15] The hill of God is as the hill of Bashan, a 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 belongeth the discharge from death. [21] But God shall wound the head of His enemies, and the hairy scalp of such a 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 tongues 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, until 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 fearsome out of Thy holy places; the God of Israel is He that giveth strength and power unto His people. Blessed be God!
