68:1 |
Let God rise up, let his enemies be scattered; let those who hate him flee before him.
|
68:2 |
As smoke is driven away, so drive them away; as wax melts before the fire, let the wicked perish before God.
|
68:3 |
But let the righteous be joyful; let them exult before God; let them be jubilant with joy.
|
68:4 |
Sing to God, sing praises to his name; lift up a song to him who rides upon the clouds-- his name is the LORD-- be exultant before him.
|
68:5 |
Father of orphans and protector of widows is God in his holy habitation.
|
68:6 |
God gives the desolate a home to live in; he leads out the prisoners to prosperity, but the rebellious live in a parched land.
|
68:7 |
O God, when you went out before your people, when you marched through the wilderness,Selah
|
68:8 |
the earth quaked, the heavens poured down rain at the presence of God, the God of Sinai, at the presence of God, the God of Israel.
|
68:9 |
Rain in abundance, O God, you showered abroad; you restored your heritage when it languished;
|
68:10 |
your flock found a dwelling in it; in your goodness, O God, you provided for the needy.
|
68:11 |
The Lord gives the command; great is the company of those who bore the tidings:
|
68:12 |
"The kings of the armies, they flee, they flee!" The women at home divide the spoil,
|
68:13 |
though they stay among the sheepfolds-- the wings of a dove covered with silver, its pinions with green gold.
|
68:14 |
When the Almighty scattered kings there, snow fell on Zalmon.
|
68:15 |
O mighty mountain, mountain of Bashan; O many-peaked mountain, mountain of Bashan!
|
68:16 |
Why do you look with envy, O many-peaked mountain, at the mount that God desired for his abode, where the LORD will reside forever?
|
68:17 |
With mighty chariotry, twice ten thousand, thousands upon thousands, the Lord came from Sinai into the holy place.
|
68:18 |
You ascended the high mount, leading captives in your train and receiving gifts from people, even from those who rebel against the LORD God's abiding there.
|
68:19 |
Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears us up; God is our salvation.Selah
|
68:20 |
Our God is a God of salvation, and to GOD, the Lord, belongs escape from death.
|
68:21 |
But God will shatter the heads of his enemies, the hairy crown of those who walk in their guilty ways.
|
68:22 |
The Lord said, "I will bring them back from Bashan, I will bring them back from the depths of the sea,
|
68:23 |
so that you may bathe your feet in blood, so that the tongues of your dogs may have their share from the foe."
|
68:24 |
Your solemn processions are seen, O God, the processions of my God, my King, into the sanctuary--
|
68:25 |
the singers in front, the musicians last, between them girls playing tambourines:
|
68:26 |
"Bless God in the great congregation, the LORD, O you who are of Israel's fountain!"
|
68:27 |
There is Benjamin, the least of them, in the lead, the princes of Judah in a body, the princes of Zebulun, the princes of Naphtali.
|
68:28 |
Summon your might, O God; show your strength, O God, as you have done for us before.
|
68:29 |
Because of your temple at Jerusalem kings bear gifts to you.
|
68:30 |
Rebuke the wild animals that live among the reeds, the herd of bulls with the calves of the peoples. Trample under foot those who lust after tribute; scatter the peoples who delight in war.
|
68:31 |
Let bronze be brought from Egypt; let Ethiopia hasten to stretch out its hands to God.
|
68:32 |
Sing to God, O kingdoms of the earth; sing praises to the Lord,Selah
|
68:33 |
O rider in the heavens, the ancient heavens; listen, he sends out his voice, his mighty voice.
|
68:34 |
Ascribe power to God, whose majesty is over Israel; and whose power is in the skies.
|
68:35 |
Awesome is God in his sanctuary, the God of Israel; he gives power and strength to his people. Blessed be God!
