Psalms 68:18-27

¹⁸Thou hast ascended on high, Thou hast led captive the vanquished, Thou hast received gifts among men, Even the rebellious, that here thou mightst dwell, O LORD God!

¹⁹Praised be the Lord daily! When we are heavy-laden, the Mighty One is our help.

²⁰Our God is a God of salvation; From the Lord Jehovah cometh deliverance from death.

²¹But God smiteth the head of his enemies, Even the hairy crowns of those who go on in their iniquity.

²²“I will bring them back,” saith the Lord, “from Bashan; I will bring them back from the deep sea;

²³That thy foot may be dipped in their blood, That thy dogs may drink the blood of thine enemies.”

²⁴We have seen thy procession, O God! The procession of my God, my king, to his sanctuary!

²⁵The singers go before, the minstrels follow, Amidst damsels playing on timbrels.

²⁶Praise ye God in your assemblies; Praise the Lord, all ye from the fountain of Israel!

²⁷Here is Benjamin, the youngest, and his leaders; The chiefs of Judah, and their band; The chiefs of Zebulon, and the chiefs of Naphtali.
