Psalms
Psalm 68
To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. A Song. Let God arise, let His enemies be scattered; also let those who hate Him flee before Him.
As smoke is driven away, You drive [them] away; as wax melts before the fire, let the wicked perish in the presence of God.
But the righteous are glad; they rejoice before God. Yes, let them exceedingly rejoice.
Sing to God, sing praises to His name; praise Him who rides on the heavens by His name JEHOVAH, and rejoice before Him.
In His holy dwelling God [is] the father of the fatherless, and the judge of the widows.
God causes the lonely to live at home; He brings out those who are bound with chains; but the rebellious dwell in a dry [land].
O God, when You marched before Your people, when You walked through the wilderness; Selah.
The earth shook, the heavens also dropped at the presence of God; Sinai itself [was moved] at the presence of God, the God of Israel.
You, O God, sent a plentiful rain, by which You upheld Your inheritance when it was weary.
Your flock has dwelt in it; You, O God, have prepared in Your goodness for the poor.
The Lord gave the word; the bearers of it [were] a great army.
Kings of armies fled away; and she who stayed at home divided the plunder.
When you lie among the sheepfolds, the wings of a dove [are] covered with silver, and its pinions with the shimmer of gold.
When the Almighty scatters kings in it, it snows on Salmon.
The mountain of Bashan [is] God's mountain; the Bashan range [is] a mountain of peaks.
Why do you gaze in envy, O mountain range, [at the] mountain God has chosen for His resting place? Yes, the LORD will dwell [in it] forever.
The chariots of God [are] myriads, thousands of thousands; the Lord [is] among them, in Sinai, in the holy place.
You have gone up on high; You have led captivity captive; You have received gifts for men, yes, [for] the rebellious also, that [You] might dwell among them, O Jehovah God.
Blessed [is] the LORD; He daily bears burdens for us, the God of our salvation. Selah.
Our God [is] the God of salvation; and to the LORD [are] the issues of death.
Yea, God shall wound the head of His enemies, [and] the hairy crown of him who walks on in his guilt.
