22The Lord said, “I will bring back the corpses of those who were killed in Bashan, and I will bring back those who sank deep in the ocean and drowned.
23I will do that in order that you may wash your feet in their blood, and your dogs can also lap up some of your enemies' blood.”
24God, many people see you march triumphantly into your sacred temple, celebrating that you have defeated your enemies. You march like a king does, and a large crowd walks with you.
25The singers are in front, and the people who play stringed instruments are at the rear, and young women who are beating their tambourines are between them.
26They are all singing, “You Israeli people, praise God when you gather together; praise Yahweh, all you who are descendants of Jacob!”
27First come the people of the tribe of Benjamin, the smallest tribe, and following them come the leaders of the tribe of Judah and their group, and following them come the leaders of the tribes of Zebulun and Naphtali.
28God, show people that you are very powerful; show people the power with which you have helped us previously.
29Show that power from your temple in Jerusalem, where kings bring gifts to you.
30Rebuke your enemies, such as those in Egypt who are like wild hippopotamuses/animals that live in the reeds; and powerful nations that are like bulls that are among their calves MET; rebuke/trample them until they bow down and give you gifts of silver. Scatter the people who enjoy making wars.
31Then people will bring gifts of bronze (OR, of cloth) to you from Egypt; the people in Ethiopia will lift up their hands to praise you.
32You people who are citizens of kingdoms/countries all over the world, sing to God! Sing praises to the Lord!
33Sing to the God, the one who rides acoss the sky, the sky that he created long ago. Listen as he shouts with a very powerful voice.
34Proclaim that God is very powerful; he is the king that rules over Israel, and in the skies he also shows that he is powerful.
