| 68:1
| Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered: let them also that hate him
flee before him.
|
| 68:2
| As smoke is driven away, so drive them away: as wax melteth before the
fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God.
|
| 68:3
| But let the righteous be glad; let them rejoice before God: yea, let
them exceedingly rejoice.
|
| 68:4
| Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth upon the
heavens by his name JAH, and rejoice before him.
|
| 68:5
| A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God in his
holy habitation.
|
| 68:6
| God setteth the solitary in families: he bringeth out those which are
bound with chains: but the rebellious dwell in a dry land.
|
| 68:7
| O God, when thou wentest forth before thy people, when thou didst march
through the wilderness; Selah:
|
| 68:8
| The earth shook, the heavens also dropped at the presence of God: even
Sinai itself was moved at the presence of God, the God of Israel.
|
| 68:9
| Thou, O God, didst send a plentiful rain, whereby thou didst confirm
thine inheritance, when it was weary.
|
| 68:10
| Thy congregation hath dwelt therein: thou, O God, hast prepared of thy
goodness for the poor.
|
| 68:11
| The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that published
it.
|
| 68:12
| Kings of armies did flee apace: and she that tarried at home divided the
spoil.
|
| 68:13
| Though ye have lien among the pots, yet shall ye be as the wings of a
dove covered with silver, and her feathers with yellow gold.
|
| 68:14
| When the Almighty scattered kings in it, it was white as snow in Salmon.
|
| 68:15
| The hill of God is as the hill of Bashan; an high hill as the hill of
Bashan.
|
| 68:16
| Why leap ye, ye high hills? this is the hill which God desireth to dwell
in; yea, the LORD will dwell in it for ever.
|
| 68:17
| The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands of angels: the
Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in the holy place.
|
| 68:18
| Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive: thou hast
received gifts for men; yea, for the rebellious also, that the LORD God
might dwell among them.
|
| 68:19
| Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of
our salvation. Selah.
|
| 68:20
| He that is our God is the God of salvation; and unto GOD the Lord belong
the issues from death.
|
| 68:21
| But God shall wound the head of his enemies, and the hairy scalp of such
an one as goeth on still in his trespasses.
|
| 68:22
| The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will bring my people
again from the depths of the sea:
|
| 68:23
| That thy foot may be dipped in the blood of thine enemies, and the
tongue of thy dogs in the same.
|
| 68:24
| They have seen thy goings, O God; even the goings of my God, my King, in
the sanctuary.
|
| 68:25
| The singers went before, the players on instruments followed after;
among them were the damsels playing with timbrels.
|
| 68:26
| Bless ye God in the congregations, even the Lord, from the fountain of
Israel.
|
| 68:27
| There is little Benjamin with their ruler, the princes of Judah and
their council, the princes of Zebulun, and the princes of Naphtali.
|
| 68:28
| Thy God hath commanded thy strength: strengthen, O God, that which thou
hast wrought for us.
|
| 68:29
| Because of thy temple at Jerusalem shall kings bring presents unto thee.
|
| 68:30
| Rebuke the company of spearmen, the multitude of the bulls, with the
calves of the people, till every one submit himself with pieces of silver:
scatter thou the people that delight in war.
|
| 68:31
| Princes shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall soon stretch out her
hands unto God.
|
| 68:32
| Sing unto God, ye kingdoms of the earth; O sing praises unto the Lord;
Selah:
|
| 68:33
| To him that rideth upon the heavens of heavens, which were of old; lo,
he doth send out his voice, and that a mighty voice.
|
| 68:34
| Ascribe ye strength unto God: his excellency is over Israel, and his
strength is in the clouds.
|
| 68:35
| O God, thou art terrible out of thy holy places: the God of Israel is he
that giveth strength and power unto his people. Blessed be God.
