Psalms 68:20-29

²⁰God is to us a God of deliverance. To Yahweh, the Lord, belongs escape from death.

²¹But God will strike through the head of his enemies, the hairy scalp of such a one as still continues in his guiltiness.

²²The Lord said, “I will bring you again from Bashan, I will bring you again from the depths of the sea,

²³that you may crush them, dipping your foot in blood, that the tongues of your dogs may have their portion from your enemies.”

²⁴They have seen your processions, God, even the processions of my God, my King, into the sanctuary.

²⁵The singers went before, the minstrels followed after, among the ladies playing with tambourines,

²⁶“Bless God in the congregations, even the Lord in the assembly of Israel!”

²⁷There is little Benjamin, their ruler, the princes of Judah, their council, the princes of Zebulun, and the princes of Naphtali.

²⁸Your God has commanded your strength. Strengthen, God, that which you have done for us.

²⁹Because of your temple at Jerusalem, kings shall bring presents to you.
