68:1  For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David, a Song. 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 exult before God: yea, let them rejoice with gladness.
68:4  Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: cast up a highway for him that rideth through the deserts; his name is JAH; and exult ye 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 the prisoners 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: even yon Sinai trembled at the presence of God, the God of Israel.
68:9  Thou, O God, didst send a plentiful rain, thou didst confirm thine inheritance, when it was weary.
68:10  Thy congregation dwelt therein: thou, O God, didst prepare of thy goodness for the poor.
68:11  The Lord giveth the word: the women that publish the tidings are a great host.
68:12  Kings of armies flee, they flee: and she that tarrieth at home divideth the spoil.
68:13  Will ye lie among the sheepfolds, as the wings of a dove covered with silver, and her pinions with yellow gold?
68:14  When the Almighty scattered kings therein, it was as when it snoweth in Zalmon.
68:15  A mountain of God is the mountain of Bashan; an high mountain is the mountain of Bashan.
68:16  Why look ye askance, ye high mountains, at the mountain which God hath desired for his abode? yea, the LORD will dwell in it for ever.
68:17  The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands upon thousands: the Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in the sanctuary.
68:18  Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led thy captivity captive; thou hast received gifts among men, yea, among the rebellious also, that the LORD God might dwell with them.
68:19  Blessed be the Lord, who daily beareth our burden, even the God who is our salvation. Selah
68:20  God is unto us a God of deliverances; and unto JEHOVAH the Lord belong the issues from death.
68:21  But God shall smite through the head of his enemies, the hairy scalp of such an one as goeth on still in his guiltiness.
68:22  The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will bring them again from the depths of the sea:
68:23  That thou mayest dip thy foot in blood, that the tongue of thy dogs may have its portion from thine enemies.
68:24  They have seen thy goings, O God, even the goings of my God, my King, into the sanctuary.
68:25  The singers went before, the minstrels followed after, in the midst of the damsels playing with timbrels.
68:26  Bless ye God in the congregations, even the Lord, ye that are of the fountain of Israel.
68:27  There is little Benjamin their ruler, the princes of Judah and their council, 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 kings shall bring presents unto thee.
68:30  Rebuke the wild beast of the reeds, the multitude of the bulls, with the calves of the peoples, trampling under foot the pieces of silver; he hath scattered the peoples that delight in war.
68:31  Princes shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall haste to 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 are of old; lo, he uttereth 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 skies.
68:35  O God, thou art terrible out of thy holy places: the God of Israel, he giveth strength and power unto his people. Blessed be God.
