King James VersionPsalms68

Psalms

1 Let God arise, let his en­e­mies be scat­tered: let them also that hate him flee be­fore him.
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.
3 But let the righ­teous be glad; let them re­joice be­fore God: yea, let them ex­ceed­ing­ly re­joice.
4 Sing unto God, sing prais­es to his name: ex­tol him that rideth upon the heav­ens by his name JAH, and re­joice be­fore him.
5 A fa­ther of the fa­ther­less, and a judge of the wid­ows, is God in his holy habi­ta­tion.
6 God set­teth the soli­tary in fam­i­lies: he bringeth out those which are bound with chains: but the re­bel­lious dwell in a dry land.
7 O God, when thou wen­test forth be­fore thy peo­ple, when thou didst march through the wilder­ness; Se­lah:
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.
9 Thou, O God, didst send a plen­ti­ful rain, where­by thou didst con­firm thine in­her­i­tance, when it was weary.
10 Thy con­gre­ga­tion hath dwelt there­in: thou, O God, hast pre­pared of thy good­ness for the poor.
11 The Lord gave the word: great was the com­pa­ny of those that pub­lished it.
12 Kings of armies did flee apace: and she that tar­ried at home di­vid­ed the spoil.
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.
14 When the Almighty scat­tered kings in it, it was white as snow in Salmon.
15 The hill of God is as the hill of Bashan; an high hill as the hill of Bashan.
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.
17 The char­i­ots of God are twen­ty thou­sand, even thou­sands of an­gels: the Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in the holy place.
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.
19 Blessed be the Lord, who dai­ly load­eth us with ben­e­fits, even the God of our sal­va­tion. Se­lah.
20 He that is our God is the God of sal­va­tion; and unto GOD the Lord belong the is­sues from death.
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.
22 The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will bring my people again from the depths of the sea:
23 That thy foot may be dipped in the blood of thine en­e­mies, and the tongue of thy dogs in the same.
24 They have seen thy go­ings, O God; even the go­ings of my God, my King, in the sanc­tu­ary.
25 The singers went be­fore, the play­ers on in­stru­ments followed af­ter; among them were the damsels play­ing with tim­brels.
26 Bless ye God in the con­gre­ga­tions, even the Lord, from the foun­tain of Is­rael.
27 There is lit­tle Ben­jamin with their ruler, the princes of Ju­dah and their coun­cil, the princes of Ze­bu­lun, and the princes of Naph­tali.
28 Thy God hath com­mand­ed thy strength: strength­en, O God, that which thou hast wrought for us.
29 Be­cause of thy tem­ple at Jerusalem shall kings bring pre­sents unto thee.
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.
31 Princes shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall soon stretch out her hands unto God.
32 Sing unto God, ye king­doms of the earth; O sing prais­es unto the Lord; Se­lah:
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.
34 As­cribe ye strength unto God: his ex­cel­len­cy is over Is­rael, and his strength is in the clouds.
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.
