Psalm 68

Psalm 68:1-35

68
Chapter 68
For the director. Of David. A psalm. A song. 1 May God arise; his enemies shall be scattered, and those who hate him shall flee from his face. 2 As smoke is driven away, so drive them away; as wax melts from before fire, let the wicked perish from before God. 3 The righteous will rejoice; they will exult before God, and they will rejoice with joy. 4 Sing to God, sing praises to his name; clear a way for the one who rides in the deserts—in Yah his name—and exult before him. 5 Father of orphans and judge of widows, God in his holy dwelling. 6 God makes the solitary dwell in a home; he brings out prisoners into prosperity, but the rebellious dwell in a parched land. 7 God, when you went out before your people, in your march through the wasteland. Selah. 8 The earth shook, even the heavens dripped from before God, this Sinai from before God, God of Israel. 9 You will shake a rain of freewill offerings, God; your inheritance, and you established it when wearied. 10 Your beast dwelt in it; you prepared it in your goodness for the poor, O God. Your inheritance, even she, was weary; you established her. 11 The Lord gives—the female heralds proclaim a great host. 12 The kings of hosts flee, they flee, and she who proclaims the army divides spoil in the temple. 13 If you lie down between the sheepfolds, the wings of a dove are covered in silver and its pinions in yellowed gold. 14 When the Almighty scattered kings in it, it was white as in Zalmon. 15 Mountain of God, mountain of Bashan, mountain of summits, mountain of Bashan. 16 Why do you gaze enviously, mountains of Bashan? The mountain God desires for his dwelling—the LORD dwells there forever. 17 Chariots of God, myriads, thousands upon thousands; the Lord among them, Sinai in holiness. 18 You ascended to the height. You led captive a captivity. You took gifts in man, and even rebels, to dwell—the LORD God. 19 Blessed is the Lord day by day; he loads us with the God of our salvation. Selah. 20 Our God, the God of our salvation, and to the Lord, the Lord of exits from death. 21 But God will crush the head of his enemies, the hairy scalp of him who walks in his guilt. 22 The Lord said, "From Bashan I will bring back; I will bring back from the depths of the sea." 23 so that you may crush your foot in blood, the tongue of your dogs from enemies, its fill. 24 See, O God, your goings, the goings of the LORD the king in the holy place. 25 Before the singers, after the players on instruments, maidens drumming. 26 In the choirs, bless God the LORD, from the fountain of Israel. 27 There Benjamin the youngest rules their rulers, Judah their throng, rulers of Zebulun, rulers of Naphtali. 28 There Benjamin the little one ruled; the rulers of Judah their slingstones; the rulers of Zebulun, the rulers of Naphtali. 29 Command, O God, your strength; the strength, O God, that you have worked for us. 30 Rebuke the beast of the reeds, the congregation of strong ones, with calves of peoples; they crouch with horns of silver; he scatters the peoples; they desire wars. 31 Princes will come from Egypt; Cush will hurry his hands to God. 32 Kingdoms of the earth, sing to God; sing to the Lord. Selah. 33 To the rider in the heavens of heavens of antiquity; behold, he gives in his voice a voice of strength. 34 Ascribe strength to God. His majesty is over Israel, and his strength is in the heavens. 35 God is terrifying from your sanctuaries. The God of Israel—he gives strength and might to the people. Blessed be God.
