Bible, King James Version
Psalms
Pss.68
[1] Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered: let them
also that hate him flee before him.
[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.
[3] But let the righteous be glad; let them rejoice before
God: yea, let them exceedingly rejoice.
[4] Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him
that rideth upon the heavens by his name JAH, and rejoice before
him.
[5] A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows,
is God in his holy habitation.
[6] God setteth the solitary in families: he bringeth out
those which are bound with chains: but the rebellious dwell in a
dry land.
[7] O God, when thou wentest forth before thy people, when
thou didst march through the wilderness; Selah:
[8] 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.
[9] Thou, O God, didst send a plentiful rain, whereby thou
didst confirm thine inheritance, when it was weary.
[10] Thy congregation hath dwelt therein: thou, O God,
hast prepared of thy goodness for the poor.
[11] The Lord gave the word: great was the company of
those that published it.
[12] Kings of armies did flee apace: and she that tarried
at home divided the spoil.
[13] Though ye have lien among the pots, yet shall ye be
as the wings of a dove covered with silver, and her feathers with
yellow gold.
[14] When the Almighty scattered kings in it, it was white
as snow in Salmon.
[15] The hill of God is as the hill of Bashan; an high
hill as the hill of Bashan.
[16] 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.
[17] The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even
thousands of angels: the Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in the
holy place.
[18] 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.
[19] Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with
benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah.
[20] He that is our God is the God of salvation; and unto
God the Lord belong the issues from death.
[21] But God shall wound the head of his enemies, and the
hairy scalp of such an one as goeth on still in his
trespasses.
[22] The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will
bring my people again from the depths of the sea:
[23] That thy foot may be dipped in the blood of thine
enemies, and the tongue of thy dogs in the same.
[24] They have seen thy goings, O God; even the goings of
my God, my King, in the sanctuary.
[25] The singers went before, the players on instruments
followed after; among them were the damsels playing with
timbrels.
[26] Bless ye God in the congregations, even the Lord,
from the fountain of Israel.
[27] There is little Benjamin with their ruler, the
princes of Judah and their council, the princes of Zebulun, and
the princes of Naphtali.
[28] Thy God hath commanded thy strength: strengthen, O
God, that which thou hast wrought for us.
[29] Because of thy temple at Jerusalem shall kings bring
presents unto thee.
[30] 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.
[31] Princes shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall soon
stretch out her hands unto God.
[32] Sing unto God, ye kingdoms of the earth; O sing
praises unto the Lord; Selah:
[33] To him that rideth upon the heavens of heavens, which
were of old; lo, he doth send out his voice, and that a mighty
voice.
[34] Ascribe ye strength unto God: his excellency is over
Israel, and his strength is in the clouds.
[35] 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.
