68:1  For the Music Director. A Psalm of David. A Song. Let God arise, let His enemies be scattered; let those who hate Him flee before Him.
68:2  As smoke is driven away, You drive them away; as wax melts before the fire, so may the wicked perish before God.
68:3  But let the righteous be glad; let them rejoice before God; let them rejoice exceedingly.
68:4  Sing to God, sing praises to His name; raise a song to Him who rides through the deserts— His name is the Lord; exult before Him.
68:5  A father of the fatherless, and a protector of the widows, is God in His holy habitation.
68:6  God sets the deserted in families; He brings out prisoners into prosperity, but the rebellious dwell in a dry land.
68:7  O God, when You went forth before Your people, when You marched through the wasteland, Selah
68:8  the earth shook; the heavens also poured down rain at the presence of God; even Sinai shook at the presence of God, the God of Israel.
68:9  You, O God, sent plentiful rain; You established Your inheritance when it was weary.
68:10  Your congregation has lived in it; You, O God, by Your goodness have prepared for the poor.
68:11  The Lord gave the word; great was the company of women who proclaimed it:
68:12  “Kings of armies flee; they flee!” Even the women who were at home divided the spoil.
68:13  Though you sleep between the sheepfolds, yet you will be like the wings of a dove overlaid with silver, and its feathers with yellow gold.
68:14  When the Almighty scattered kings in it, it was white as snow on Mount Zalmon.
68:15  The mountain of God is as the mountain of Bashan; a mountain of many peaks like the mountain of Bashan.
68:16  Why are you envious, you mountains of many peaks? This is the mountain which God desires to dwell in; yes, the Lord will dwell in it forever.
68:17  The chariots of God are twice ten thousand, even thousands of thousands; the Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in the holy place.
68:18  You have ascended on high, You have led captivity captive; You have received gifts from people, yes, even from the rebellious, that the Lord God might dwell among them.
68:19  Blessed be the Lord, who daily loads us with benefits, even the God who is our salvation. Selah
68:20  That God is for us, the God of saving acts; and to God the Lord belongs escape from death.
68:21  But God will shatter the head of His enemies, and the scalp of one who walks in his trespasses.
68:22  The Lord said, “I will cause them to return from Bashan, I will bring my people again from the depths of the sea,
68:23  that your foot may stomp in the blood of your enemies, and the tongue of your dogs may have a portion in it.”
68:24  They have seen Your processions, O God, the processions of my God, my King, in the sanctuary.
68:25  The singers went before, the players on instruments followed after; among them were the young women playing tambourines.
68:26  Bless God in the congregations, the Lord, from the fountain of Israel.
68:27  There is little Benjamin leading them, the princes of Judah and their throng of people, the princes of Zebulun, and the princes of Naphtali.
68:28  Your God has commanded your strength; strengthen, O God, what You have done for us.
68:29  From Your temple above Jerusalem, kings will bring gifts to You.
68:30  Rebuke the animals that live among the reeds, the herd of bulls, with the calves of the people, until everyone submits himself with pieces of silver; scatter peoples who delight in war.
68:31  Ambassadors will come out of Egypt; Ethiopia will stretch out its hands to God.
68:32  Sing to God, you kingdoms of the earth; oh, sing praises to the Lord; Selah
68:33  to Him who rides on the heavens, the ancient heavens; He who sends out His voice, a mighty voice.
68:34  Ascribe strength to God; His majesty is over Israel, and His strength is in the clouds.
68:35  O God, You are awesome from Your sanctuaries; the God of Israel is He who gives strength and power to people. Blessed be God!
