Psalms 68:16-30

¹⁶Why do ye look with envy, ye many-peaked mountains, upon the mount that God hath desired for his abode? yea, Jehovah will dwell there for ever.

¹⁷The chariots of God are twenty thousand, thousands upon thousands; the Lord is among them: it is a Sinai in holiness.

¹⁸Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive: thou hast received gifts in Man, and even for the rebellious, for the dwelling there of Jah Elohim.

¹⁹Blessed be the Lord: day by day doth he load us with good, the God who is our salvation. Selah.

²⁰Our God is the God of salvation; and with Jehovah, the Lord, are the goings forth even from death.

²¹Verily God will smite the head of his enemies, the hairy scalp of him that goeth on still in his trespasses.

²²The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will bring them again from the depth of the sea;

²³That thou mayest dip thy foot in blood: the tongue of thy dogs has its portion from enemies.

²⁴They have seen thy goings, O God, the goings of my God, my King, in the sanctuary.

²⁵The singers went before, the players on stringed instruments after, in the midst of maidens playing on tabrets.

²⁶In the congregations bless ye God, the Lord, — ye from the fountain of Israel.

²⁷There is little Benjamin, their ruler; the princes of Judah, their company; the princes of Zebulun, the princes of Naphtali.

²⁸Thy God hath commanded thy strength: strengthen, O God, that which thou hast wrought for us.

²⁹Because of thy temple at Jerusalem shall kings bring presents unto thee.

³⁰Rebuke the beast of the reeds, the assembly of the strong, with the calves of the peoples: every one submitteth himself with pieces of silver. Scatter the peoples that delight in war.
