Psalms 68:2-32

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 rejoice before God: yes, let them exceedingly rejoice.

⁴Sing to God, sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth upon the heavens by his name JAH, and rejoice 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 those who are bound with chains: but the rebellious dwell in a dry land .

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

⁸The earth shook, the heavens also dropped at the presence of God: even Sinai itself was moved at the presence of God, the God of Israel.

⁹Thou, O God, didst send a plentiful rain, by which thou didst confirm thy inheritance, when it was weary.

¹⁰Thy congregation hath dwelt therein: thou, O God, hast prepared of thy goodness for the poor.

¹¹The LORD gave the word: great was the company of those that published it .

¹²Kings of armies fled apace: and she that tarried at home divided the spoil.

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

¹⁴When the Almighty scattered kings in it, it was white as snow in Salmon.

¹⁵The hill of God is as the hill of Bashan; a high hill as the hill of Bashan.

¹⁶Why leap ye, ye lofty hills? this is the hill which God desireth to dwell in; yes, the LORD will dwell in it for ever.

¹⁷The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands of angels: the LORD is among them, as in Sinai, in the holy place .

¹⁸Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive: thou hast received gifts for men; yes, for the rebellious also, that the LORD God might dwell among them .

¹⁹Blessed be the LORD, who daily loadeth us with benefits , even the God of our salvation. Selah.

²⁰He that is our God is the God of salvation; and to God the LORD belong the issues from death.

²¹But God will wound the head of his enemies, and the hairy scalp of such one as goeth on still in his trespasses.

²²The LORD said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will bring my people again from the depths of the sea.

²³That thy foot may be dipped in the blood of thy enemies, and the tongue of thy dogs in the same.

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

²⁵The singers went before, the players on instruments followed after; among them were the damsels playing with timbrels.

²⁶Bless ye God in the congregations, even the LORD, from the fountain of Israel.

²⁷There is little Benjamin with their ruler, the princes of Judah and their counsel, the princes of Zebulun, and 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 to thee.

³⁰Rebuke the company of spearmen, the multitude of the bulls, with the calves of the people, till every one shall submit himself with pieces of silver: scatter thou the people that delight in war.

³¹Princes shall come out of Egypt; Cush shall soon stretch out her hands to God.

³²Sing to God, ye kingdoms of the earth; O sing praises to the LORD; Selah:
