5The father of the fatherless, and the protector of the widow, Is God in his holy habitation.
6God causeth the forsaken to dwell in houses; He leadeth forth to prosperity them that are bound; But the rebellious shall dwell in a barren land.
7O God! when thou didst go before thy people, When thou didst march through the wilderness. Pause.
8The earth quaked, and the heavens dropped at the presence of God; This Sinai trembled at the presence of God, the God of Israel.
9Thou, O God! didst send a plentiful rain; Thou didst strengthen thy wearied inheritance.
10Thy people established themselves in the land; Thou, O God! in thy goodness, didst prepare it for the needy!
11The Lord gave the song of victory Of the maidens publishing glad tidings to the mighty host.
12“The kings with their armies have fled, —have fled! And the matron at home divideth the spoil.
13Truly ye may repose yourselves in the stalls, Like the wings of a dove covered with silver, And her feathers with shining gold.”
14When the Most High destroyed the kings in the land, It was white with their bones like Salmon.
15Ye lofty hills, ye hills of Bashan, Ye many-topped hills, ye hills of Bashan,
16Why frown ye, ye many-topped hills, At the hill in which God is pleased to dwell, In which Jehovah will dwell for ever?
17The chariots of God are myriads, yea, thousands of thousands; The Lord is in the midst of them, as upon Sinai, in the sanctuary.
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.
28Thy God has ordained thy strength, O Israel! Show forth thy might, O God! thou who hast wrought for us!
29Because of thy temple in Jerusalem Shall kings bring presents to thee.
30Rebuke the wild beast of the reeds, The multitude of bulls with the calves of the nations, So that they shall cast themselves down with masses of silver; Scatter thou the nations that delight in war!
31Princes shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall haste with outstretched hands to God.
32Ye kingdoms of the earth, sing unto God; Sing praises to Jehovah;
33To him who rideth upon the ancient heaven of heavens! Behold, he uttereth his voice, his mighty voice!
34Give glory to God, Whose majesty is in Israel, and whose might is in the clouds!
