Psalm 68, to the chief musician, a psalm or song of David.
Sela, 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.
Thou, O God, didst send a plentiful rain, whereby thou didst confirm thine
inheritance when it was weary.
Thy congregation hath dwelt therein.
Thou, O God, hast prepared of thy goodness for the poor.
The Lord gave the word.
Great was the company of those that published it.
Kings of armies did flee apace, and she that tarried at home divided the
spoil.
Though ye have leaned among the pots, yet shall ye be as the wings of a dove
covered with silver, and her feathers with yellow gold.
When the Almighty scattered kings in it, it was white as snow in Salmon.
The hill of God is as the hill of Bashan, and high hill as the hill of Bashan.
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.
The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands of angels.
The Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in the holy place.
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.
Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our
salvation, Selah.
He that is our God is the God of salvation, and unto God the Lord belong
the issues from death.
But God shall wound the head of his enemies, and the hairy scalp of such an
one as goeth on still in his trespasses.
The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan.
I will bring my people again from the depths of the sea, that thy foot may be
dipped in the blood of thine enemies, and the tongue of thy dogs in the same.
They have seen thy goings, O God, even the goings of my God, my King in the
sanctuary.
The singers went before, the players on instruments followed after.
Among them were the damsels playing with timbrels.
Bless ye God and the congregations, even the Lord from the fountain of Israel.
There is little Benjamin with their ruler, the princes of Judah and their council,
the princes of Zebulun, and the princes of Naphtali.
Thy God hath commanded thy strength.
Strengthen, O God, that which thou hast wrought for us.
Because of thy temple at Jerusalem shall kings bring presents unto thee.
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.
Princes shall come out of Egypt.
Ethiopia shall soon stretch out her hands unto God.
Sing unto God, ye kingdoms of the earth.
O sing praises unto the Lord, Selah.
To him that writeth upon the heavens of heavens, which were of old, lo,
he doth send out his voice, and that a mighty voice.
Ascribe ye strength unto God.
His excellency is over Israel, and his strength is in the clouds.
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.
