Psalm 68:1-35 MEV
[1] Let God arise, let His enemies be scattered; let those who hate Him flee before Him. [2] As smoke is driven away, You drive them away; as wax melts before the fire, so may the wicked perish before God. [3] But let the righteous be glad; let them rejoice before God; let them rejoice exceedingly. [4] Sing to God, sing praises to His name; raise a song to Him who rides through the deserts- His name is the LORD; exult before Him. [5] A father of the fatherless, and a protector of the widows, is God in His holy habitation. [6] God sets the deserted in families; He brings out prisoners into prosperity, but the rebellious dwell in a dry land. [7] O God, when You went forth before Your people, when You marched through the wasteland, Selah [8] the earth shook; the heavens also poured down rain at the presence of God; even Sinai shook at the presence of God, the God of Israel. [9] You, O God, sent plentiful rain; You established Your inheritance when it was weary. [10] Your congregation has lived in it; You, O God, by Your goodness have prepared for the poor. [11] The Lord gave the word; great was the company of women who proclaimed it: [12] "Kings of armies flee; they flee!" Even the women who were at home divided the spoil. [13] Though you sleep between the sheepfolds, yet you will be like the wings of a dove overlaid with silver, and its feathers with yellow gold. [14] When the Almighty scattered kings in it, it was white as snow on Mount Zalmon. [15] The mountain of God is as the mountain of Bashan; a mountain of many peaks like the mountain of Bashan. [16] Why are you envious, you mountains of many peaks? This is the mountain which God desires to dwell in; yes, the LORD will dwell in it forever. [17] The chariots of God are twice ten thousand, even thousands of thousands; the Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in the holy place. [18] You have ascended on high, You have led captivity captive; You have received gifts from people, yes, even from the rebellious, that the LORD God might dwell among them. [19] Blessed be the Lord, who daily loads us with benefits, even the God who is our salvation. Selah [20] That God is for us, the God of saving acts; and to GOD the Lord belongs escape from death. [21] But God will shatter the head of His enemies, and the scalp of one who walks in his trespasses. [22] The Lord said, "I will cause them to return from Bashan, I will bring my people again from the depths of the sea, [23] that your foot may stomp in the blood of your enemies, and the tongue of your dogs may have a portion in it." [24] They have seen Your processions, O God, the processions of my God, my King, in the sanctuary. [25] The singers went before, the players on instruments followed after; among them were the young women playing tambourines. [26] Bless God in the congregations, the LORD, from the fountain of Israel. [27] There is little Benjamin leading them, the princes of Judah and their throng of people, the princes of Zebulun, and the princes of Naphtali. [28] Your God has commanded your strength; strengthen, O God, what You have done for us. [29] From Your temple above Jerusalem, kings will bring gifts to You. [30] Rebuke the animals that live among the reeds, the herd of bulls, with the calves of the people, until everyone submits himself with pieces of silver; scatter peoples who delight in war. [31] Ambassadors will come out of Egypt; Ethiopia will stretch out its hands to God. [32] Sing to God, you kingdoms of the earth; oh, sing praises to the Lord; Selah [33] to Him who rides on the heavens, the ancient heavens; He who sends out His voice, a mighty voice. [34] Ascribe strength to God; His majesty is over Israel, and His strength is in the clouds. [35] O God, You are awesome from Your sanctuaries; the God of Israel is He who gives strength and power to people. Blessed be God!
