Psalms 68:1-15

¹To the chief Musician. Of David. A Psalm: a Song. Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered, and let them that hate him flee before him.

²As smoke is driven, thou wilt drive them away; as wax melteth before the fire, the wicked shall perish at the presence of God.

³But the righteous shall rejoice: they shall exult before God and be glad with joy.

⁴Sing unto God, sing forth his name; cast up a way for him that rideth in the deserts: his name is Jah; and rejoice before him.

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

⁶God maketh the solitary into families; those that were bound he bringeth out 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 at the presence of God, yon Sinai, at the presence of God, the God of Israel.

⁹Thou, O God, didst pour a plentiful rain upon thine inheritance, and when it was weary thou strengthenedst it.

¹⁰Thy flock hath dwelt therein: thou hast prepared in thy goodness, for the afflicted, O God!

¹¹The Lord gives the word: great the host of the publishers.

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

¹³Though ye have lain among the sheepfolds, ye shall be as wings of a dove covered with silver, and her feathers with green gold.

¹⁴When the Almighty scattered kings in it, it became snow-white as Zalmon.

¹⁵As mount Bashan is the mount of God, a many-peaked mountain, as mount Bashan.
