Psalm 68 - To the Choir Director. Of David. A Psalm; a Song
- Let God arise; let His enemies be scattered; and let those who hate Him flee before Him.
- As smoke is driven away, You will drive them away; as wax melts before fire, the wicked will perish before God.
- But the righteous will rejoice; they will exult before God and be glad with rejoicing.
- Sing to God; sing psalms to His name; triumph in Him who rides through the deserts - for Jah is His name - and exult before Him.
- A Father to the orphans and a Judge for the widows is God in His holy habitation.
- God causes the solitary to dwell in a household; He brings the prisoners forth into prosperity; but the rebellious dwell in a parched land.
- O God, when You went forth before Your people, when You marched through the desert, Sehah
- The earth trembled, the heavens also dripped, at the presence of God; Sinai there quaked at the presence of God, the God of Israel.
- You shed forth bountiful rain, O God; You confirmed Your inheritance when it languished.
- Your living flock dwelt in the land; in Your goodness You provided for the poor, o God.
- The Lord gives the command; the women who bear the glad tidings are a great host.
- The kings of the armies flee. They flee! And she who abides at home divides the spoil.
- Though you lie among the sheepfolds, there are dove wings covered with silver, and its pinions, with greenish-yellow gold.
- When the Almighty scattered the kings in the land, it snowed in Zalmon.
- O mighty mountain, o mountain of Bashan, o many-peaked mountain, o mountain of Bashan:
- Why do you look with envy, O many-peaked mountains, at the mountain on which God desires to dwell? Indeed Jehovah will dwell there forever.
- The chariots of God are twenty thousand, thousands upon thousands; the Lord is among them, as at Sinai, in the sanctuary.
- You have ascended on high; You have led captive those taken captive; You have received gifts among men, even the rebellious ones also, that Jehovah God may dwell among them.
- Blessed be the Lord, who day by day loads us with good; God is our salvation. Selah
- God is to us a God of deliverance, and with Jehovah the Lord are goings forth even from death.
- Indeed God will smash the head of His enemies, the hairy crown of him who goes about in his guiltiness.
- The Lord said, I will bring them again from Bashan; I will bring them again from the depths of the sea,
- That you may bathe your foot in blood, that the tongue of your dogs may have their portion from the enemies.
- They have seen Your goings, O God, the goings of my God, my King, in the sanctuary:
- Singers go before; players after; in the midst of virgins sounding the tambourines.
- Bless God in the congregations, even Jehovah, O you who are of the fountain of Israel.
- There are little Benjamin, who rules them, and the princes of Judah in their company, the princes of Zebulun, the princes of Naphtali.
- Your God has commanded your strength; strengthen, O God, that which You have done for us.
- Because of Your temple at Jerusalem, kings will bring a gift to You.
- Rebuke the animals of the reeds, the herd of bulls among the calves of the peoples, trampling on those who lust after silver; scatter the peoples who take delight in war.
- Nobles will come out of Egypt; Cush will quickly stretch out its hand to God.
- O kingdoms of the earth, sing to God, sing psalms to the Lord, Selah
- To Him who rides upon the ancient heaven of heavens. Behold, He utters His voice, a mighty voice.
- Ascribe strength to God; His excellence is over Israel, and His strength is in the skies.
- You are awesome, O God, from Your sanctuaries. The God of Israel, He gives strength and power to the people. Blessed be God!
