68:1  {To the chief Musician. Of David. A Psalm: a Song.} Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered, and let them that hate him flee before him.
68:2  As smoke is driven, thou wilt drive them away; as wax melteth before the fire, the wicked shall perish at the presence of God.
68:3  But the righteous shall rejoice: they shall exult before God and be glad with joy.
68:4  Sing unto God, sing forth his name; cast up a way for him that rideth in the deserts: his name is 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 maketh the solitary into families; those that were bound he bringeth out into prosperity: but the rebellious dwell in a parched land.
68:7  O God, when thou wentest forth before thy people, when thou didst march through the wilderness (Selah) --
68:8  The earth trembled, the heavens also dropped at the presence of God, yon Sinai, at the presence of God, the God of Israel.
68:9  Thou, O God, didst pour a plentiful rain upon thine inheritance, and when it was weary thou strengthenedst it.
68:10  Thy flock hath dwelt therein: thou hast prepared in thy goodness, for the afflicted, O God!
68:11  The Lord gives the word: great the host of the publishers.
68:12  Kings of armies flee; they flee, and she that tarrieth at home divideth the spoil.
68:13  Though ye have lain among the sheepfolds, ye shall be as wings of a dove covered with silver, and her feathers with green gold.
68:14  When the Almighty scattered kings in it, it became snow-white as Zalmon.
68:15  As mount Bashan is the mount of God, a many-peaked mountain, as mount Bashan.
68:16  Why do ye look with envy, ye many-peaked mountains, upon the mount that God hath desired for his abode? yea, Jehovah will dwell there for ever.
68:17  The chariots of God are twenty thousand, thousands upon thousands; the Lord is among them: it is a Sinai in holiness.
68:18  Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive: thou hast received gifts in Man, and even for the rebellious, for the dwelling there of Jah Elohim.
68:19  Blessed be the Lord: day by day doth he load us with good, the �God who is our salvation. Selah.
68:20  Our �God is the �God of salvation; and with Jehovah, the Lord, are the goings forth even from death.
68:21  Verily God will smite the head of his enemies, the hairy scalp of him that goeth on still in his trespasses.
68:22  The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will bring them again from the depth of the sea;
68:23  That thou mayest dip thy foot in blood: the tongue of thy dogs has its portion from enemies.
68:24  They have seen thy goings, O God, the goings of my �God, my King, in the sanctuary.
68:25  The singers went before, the players on stringed instruments after, in the midst of maidens playing on tabrets.
68:26  In the congregations bless ye God, the Lord, ye from the fountain of Israel.
68:27  There is little Benjamin, their ruler; the princes of Judah, their company; the princes of Zebulun, 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 beast of the reeds, the assembly of the strong, with the calves of the peoples: every one submitteth himself with pieces of silver. Scatter the peoples that delight in war.
68:31  Great ones shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall quickly stretch out her hands unto God.
68:32  Ye kingdoms of the earth, sing unto God; sing psalms of the Lord, (Selah,)
68:33  Of him that rideth upon the heavens, the heavens which are of old: lo, he uttereth his voice, a mighty voice.
68:34  Ascribe ye strength unto God: his excellency is over Israel, and his strength is in the clouds.
68:35  Terrible art thou, O God, out of thy sanctuaries, the �God of Israel! He it is that giveth strength and might unto the people. Blessed be God!
