| # Chapter 68
#### 1 | For the Chief Musician; A Psalm of David, a song. 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 exult before God: Yea, let them rejoice with gladness.
#### 4 | Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: Cast up a highway for him that rideth through the deserts; His name is Jehovah; and exult ye 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 the prisoners into prosperity; But the rebellious dwell in a parched land.
#### 7 | O God, when thou wentest forth before thy people, When thou didst march through the wilderness; Selah
#### 8 | The earth trembled, The heavens also dropped [rain] at the presence of God: Yon Sinai [trembled] at the presence of God, the God of Israel.
#### 9 | Thou, O God, didst send a plentiful rain, Thou didst confirm thine inheritance, when it was weary.
#### 10 | Thy congregation dwelt therein: Thou, O God, didst prepare of thy goodness for the poor.
#### 11 | The Lord giveth the word: The women that publish the tidings are a great host.
#### 12 | Kings of armies flee, they flee; And she that tarrieth at home divideth the spoil.
#### 13 | When ye lie among the sheepfolds, [It is as] the wings of a dove covered with silver, And her pinions with yellow gold.
#### 14 | When the Almighty scattered kings therein, [It was as when] it snoweth in Zalmon.
#### 15 | A mountain of God is the mountain of Bashan; A high mountain is the mountain of Bashan.
#### 16 | Why look ye askance, ye high mountains, At the mountain which God hath desired for his abode? Yea, Jehovah will dwell [in it] for ever.
#### 17 | The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands upon thousands; The Lord is among them, [as in] Sinai, in the sanctuary.
#### 18 | Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led away captives; Thou hast received gifts among men, Yea, [among] the rebellious also, that Jehovah God might dwell [with them].
#### 19 | Blessed be the Lord, who daily beareth our burden, Even the God who is our salvation. Selah
#### 20 | God is unto us a God of deliverances; And unto Jehovah the Lord belongeth escape from death.
#### 21 | But God will smite through the head of his enemies, The hairy scalp of such a one as goeth on still in his guiltiness.
#### 22 | The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will bring [them] again from the depths of the sea;
#### 23 | That thou mayest crush [them], [dipping] thy foot in blood, That the tongue of thy dogs may have its portion from [thine] enemies.
#### 24 | They have seen thy goings, O God, Even the goings of my God, my King, into the sanctuary.
#### 25 | The singers went before, the minstrels followed after, In the midst of the damsels playing with timbrels.
#### 26 | Bless ye God in the congregations, Even the Lord, [ye that are] of the fountain of Israel.
#### 27 | There is little Benjamin their ruler, The princes of Judah [and] their council, The princes of Zebulun, 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 Kings shall bring presents unto thee.
#### 30 | Rebuke the wild beast of the reeds, The multitude of the bulls, with the calves of the peoples, Trampling under foot the pieces of silver: He hath scattered the peoples that delight in war.
#### 31 | Princes shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall haste to stretch out her hands unto God.
#### 32 | Sing unto God, ye kingdoms of the earth; Oh sing praises unto the Lord; Selah
#### 33 | To him that rideth upon the heaven of heavens, which are of old; Lo, he uttereth his voice, a mighty voice.
#### 34 | Ascribe ye strength unto God: His excellency is over Israel, And his strength is in the skies.
#### 35 | O God, [thou art] terrible out of thy holy places: The God of Israel, he giveth strength and power unto [his] people. Blessed be God.
