68:1  For the choir director. A Psalm of David. A Song. Let God arise, let His enemies be scattered, And 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, So let the wicked perish before God.
68:3  But let the righteous be glad; let them exult before God; And let them rejoice with gladness.
68:4  Sing to God, sing praises to His name; Lift up a song for Him who rides through the deserts, Whose name is Yah, and exult before Him.
68:5  A father of the fatherless and a judge for the widows, Is God in His holy habitation.
68:6  God causes the lonely to inhabit a home; He leads out the prisoners into prosperity, Only the rebellious dwell in a parched land.
68:7  O God, when You went forth before Your people, When You marched through the wasteland, Selah.
68:8  The earth quaked; The heavens also dripped rain at the presence of God; Sinai itself quaked at the presence of God, the God of Israel.
68:9  You caused abundant rain to sprinkle down, O God; You established Your inheritance when it was parched.
68:10  Your creatures inhabited it; You established it in Your goodness for the poor, O God.
68:11  The Lord gives the word; The women who proclaim the good news are a great host:
68:12  “Kings of armies retreat, they retreat, And she who remains at home will divide the spoil!”
68:13  If you men lie down among the sheepfolds, You all would be like the wings of a dove covered with silver, And its pinions with glistening gold.
68:14  When the Almighty dispersed the kings there, It was snowing in Zalmon.
68:15  A mountain of God is the mountain of Bashan; A mountain of many peaks is the mountain of Bashan.
68:16  Why do you look with envy, O mountains with many peaks, At the mountain which God has prized for His habitation? Surely Yahweh will dwell there forever.
68:17  The chariots of God are myriads, thousands upon thousands; The Lord is among them as at Sinai, in holiness.
68:18  You have ascended on high, You have led captive Your captives; You have received gifts among men, Even among the rebellious also, that Yah—God—may dwell there.
68:19  Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears our burden, The God who is our salvation. Selah.
68:20  God is to us a God of salvation; And to Yahweh the Lord belong escapes from death.
68:21  Surely God will crush the head of His enemies, The hairy skull of him who goes on in his guilty deeds.
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  That your foot may crush them in blood, The tongue of your dogs may have its portion from your enemies.”
68:24  They have seen Your procession, O God, The procession of my God, my King, into the sanctuary.
68:25  The singers went on, the musicians after them, In the midst of the maidens beating tambourines.
68:26  Bless God in the congregations, Yahweh, the fountain of Israel.
68:27  There is Benjamin, the youngest, having dominion over them, The princes of Judah in their throng, The princes of Zebulun, the princes of Naphtali.
68:28  Your God has commanded your strength; Show Yourself strong, O God, who has worked on our behalf.
68:29  Because of Your temple at Jerusalem Kings will bring gifts to You.
68:30  Rebuke the beast in the reeds, The herd of bulls with the calves of the peoples, Trampling under foot the pieces of silver; He has cast out the peoples who delight in war.
68:31  Envoys will come out of Egypt; Ethiopia will quickly stretch out her hands to God.
68:32  Sing to God, O kingdoms of the earth, Sing praises to the Lord, Selah.
68:33  To Him who rides upon the highest heavens, which are from ancient times; Behold, He gives forth His voice, a voice that is strong.
68:34  Ascribe strength to God; His majesty is over Israel And His strength is in the skies.
68:35  O God, You are awesome from Your sanctuary. The God of Israel Himself gives strength and might to the people. Blessed be God!
