Psalms 68:1-14

¹For 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.

²As smoke is driven away, so drive them away: As wax melteth before the fire, So let the wicked perish at the presence of God.

³But let the righteous be glad; let them exult before God: Yea, let them rejoice with gladness.

⁴Sing 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.

⁵A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, Is God in his holy habitation.

⁶God setteth the solitary in families: He bringeth out the prisoners into prosperity; But the rebellious dwell in a parched land.

⁷O God, when thou wentest forth before thy people, When thou didst march through the wilderness; Selah

⁸The earth trembled, The heavens also dropped rain at the presence of God: Yon Sinai trembled at the presence of God, the God of Israel.

⁹Thou, O God, didst send a plentiful rain, Thou didst confirm thine inheritance, when it was weary.

¹⁰Thy congregation dwelt therein: Thou, O God, didst prepare of thy goodness for the poor.

¹¹The Lord giveth the word: The women that publish the tidings are a great host.

¹²Kings of armies flee, they flee; And she that tarrieth at home divideth the spoil.

¹³When ye lie among the sheepfolds, It is as the wings of a dove covered with silver, And her pinions with yellow gold.

¹⁴When the Almighty scattered kings therein, It was as when it snoweth in Zalmon.
