Psalms 68:16-30

¹⁶Why do ye envy, O high hills, The hill God hath desired for His seat? Jehovah also doth tabernacle for ever.

¹⁷The chariots of God are myriads, thousands of changes, The Lord is among them, in Sinai, in the sanctuary.

¹⁸Thou hast ascended on high, Thou hast taken captive captivity, Thou hast taken gifts for men, That even the refractory may rest, O Jah God.

¹⁹Blessed is the Lord, day by day He layeth on us. God Himself is our salvation. Selah.

²⁰God Himself is to us a God for deliverances, And Jehovah Lord hath the outgoings of death.

²¹Only — God doth smite The head of His enemies, The hairy crown of a habitual walker in his guilt.

²²The Lord said: 'From Bashan I bring back, I bring back from the depths of the sea.

²³So that thou dashest thy foot in blood, In the blood of enemies — the tongue of Thy dogs.'

²⁴They have seen Thy goings, O God, Goings of my God, my king, in the sanctuary.

²⁵Singers have been before, Behind are players on instruments, In the midst virgins playing with timbrels.

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

²⁷There is little Benjamin their ruler, Heads of Judah their defence, Heads of Zebulun — heads of Naphtali.

²⁸Thy God hath commanded thy strength, Be strong, O God, this Thou hast wrought for us.

²⁹Because of Thy temple at Jerusalem, To Thee do kings bring a present.

³⁰Rebuke a beast of the reeds, a company of bulls, With calves of the peoples, Each humbling himself with pieces of silver, Scatter Thou peoples delighting in conflicts.
