5(68:6) A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God in his holy habitation.
6(68:7) God places those who are solitary in the midst of their families: he bringeth out those who are bound unto happiness; but the rebellious dwell in a dry land.
7(68:8) O God, when thou didst go forth before thy people, when thou didst tread along through the wilderness—Selah—
8(68:9) The earth quaked, also the heavens dropped at the presence of God, yea, this Sinai, at the presence of God, the God of Israel.
9(68:10) Rain of beneficence didst thou pour down, O God, whereby thou didst truly strengthen thy heritage, when it was weary.
10(68:11) Thy assembly dwelt therein: thou didst prepare it with thy goodness for the afflicted people. O God,
11(68:12) The Lord gave happy tidings; they are published by the female messengers, a numerous host.
12(68:13) The kings of the armies flee away—flee away: yet she that tarried at home divideth the spoil.
13(68:14) When ye lie still between the folds of your cattle, ye will be like the wings of the dove covered with sliver, and her pinions shining with flaming gold.
14(68:15) When the Almighty scattered kings in the midst of her, then even in darkness shone light as pure as snow.
15(68:16) A mountain of God is the mount of Bashan; many peaks hath the mount of Bashan.
16(68:17) Why watch ye enviously, ye many-peaked mountains, yonder mountain which God hath chosen for his residence? yea, the Lord will also dwell there for ever.
17(68:18) The chariots of God are two myriads; thousands of angels follow him: the Lord is among them: so is Sinai holy among mountains.
18(68:19) Thou didst ascend on high, lead away captives, receive gifts among men, yea, even the rebellious, to dwell among them. O Lord God.
19(68:20) Blessed be the Lord; day by day he loadeth us with benefits; our God is our salvation. Selah.
20(68:21) Our God is to us the God of salvation: and by the Eternal the Lord are the escapes from death.
21(68:22) But God will crush the head of his enemies, the hairy skull of him who walketh in his guiltiness.
22(68:23) The Lord hath said, From Bashan will I bring back, I will bring back from the depths of the sea:
23(68:24) In order that thou mayest wade with thy feet in blood, feeding the tongue of thy dogs from the enemies' blood.
24(68:25) Men see thy goings forth, O God! the goings forth of my God, my King, into the sanctuary.
25(68:26) First come singers, then follow players on instruments, in the midst of maidens playing on timbrels.
26(68:27) In assemblies bless ye God, praise the Lord, ye sprung from Israel's fountain.
27(68:28) There Benjamin the youngest leadeth them on, the princes of Judah in purple robes, the princes of Zebulun, the princes of Naphtali.
28(68:29) Thy God hath ordained the rule to thee: strengthen, O God, what thou hast wrought for us.
