PS-68:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm [or] Song of David. Let

God arise, let

his enemies be scattered: let them also that hate him flee

before him.

PS-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.

PS-68:3 But let the righteous be glad; let them rejoice before

God: yea, let

them exceedingly rejoice.

PS-68:4 Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that

rideth upon

the heavens by his name JAH, and rejoice before him.

PS-68:5 A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows,

[is] God in his

holy habitation.

PS-68:6 God setteth the solitary in families: he bringeth out

those which are

bound with chains: but the rebellious dwell in a dry [land].

PS-68:7 O God, when thou wentest forth before thy people, when

thou didst

march through the wilderness; Selah:

PS-68:8 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.

PS-68:9 Thou, O God, didst send a plentiful rain, whereby thou

didst confirm

thine inheritance, when it was weary.

PS-68:10 Thy congregation hath dwelt therein: thou, O God, hast

prepared of

thy goodness for the poor.

PS-68:11 The Lord gave the word: great [was] the company of

those that

published [it].

PS-68:12 Kings of armies did flee apace: and she that tarried at

home divided

the spoil.

PS-68:13 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.

PS-68:14 When the Almighty scattered kings in it, it was [white]

as snow in

Salmon.

PS-68:15 The hill of God [is as] the hill of Bashan; an high

hill [as] the

hill of Bashan.

PS-68:16 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.

PS-68:17 The chariots of God [are] twenty thousand, [even]

thousands of

angels: the Lord [is] among them, [as in] Sinai, in the holy

[place].

PS-68:18 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].

PS-68:19 Blessed [be] the Lord, [who] daily loadeth us [with

benefits,even]

the God of our salvation. Selah.

PS-68:20 [He that is] our God [is] the God of salvation; and

unto GOD the Lord

[belong] the issues from death.

PS-68:21 But God shall wound the head of his enemies, [and] the

hairy scalp of

such an one as goeth on still in his trespasses.

PS-68:22 The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will

bring [my

people] again from the depths of the sea:

PS-68:23 That thy foot may be dipped in the blood of [thine]

enemies, [and]

the tongue of thy dogs in the same.

PS-68:24 They have seen thy goings, O God; [even] the goings of

my God, my

King, in the sanctuary.

PS-68:25 The singers went before, the players on instruments

[followed] after;

among [them were] the damsels playing with timbrels.

PS-68:26 Bless ye God in the congregations, [even] the Lord,

from the fountain

of Israel.

PS-68:27 There [is] little Benjamin [with] their ruler, the

princes of Judah

[and] their council, the princes of Zebulun, [and] the princes

of Naphtali.

PS-68:28 Thy God hath commanded thy strength: strengthen, O God,

that which

thou hast wrought for us.

PS-68:29 Because of thy temple at Jerusalem shall kings bring

presents unto

thee.

PS-68:30 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.

PS-68:31 Princes shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall soon

stretch out her

hands unto God.

PS-68:32 Sing unto God, ye kingdoms of the earth; O sing praises

unto the

Lord; Selah:

PS-68:33 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.

PS-68:34 Ascribe ye strength unto God: his excellency [is] over

Israel, and

his strength [is] in the clouds.

PS-68:35 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.
