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.
2As smoke is driven away, so drive them away:
as wax melteth before the fire, so let
the wicked perish at the presence of God.
3But let the righteous be glad; let them
rejoice before God: yea, let them exceedingly
rejoice.
4Sing unto God, sing praises to his name:
extol him that rideth upon the heavens by his name
JAH, and rejoice before him.
5A father of the fatherless, and a judge of
the widows, is God
in his holy habitation.
6God setteth the solitary in families: he
bringeth out those which are bound with chains: but
the rebellious dwell in a dry land.
7O God, when thou wentest forth before thy
people, when thou didst march through the
wilderness; Selah:
8The 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.
9Thou, O God, didst send a plentiful rain,
whereby thou didst confirm thine inheritance, when
it was weary.
10Thy congregation hath dwelt therein: thou,
O God, hast prepared of thy goodness for the poor.
11The Lord gave the word: great was the
company of those that published it.
12Kings of armies did flee apace: and she
that tarried at home divided the spoil.
13Though 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.
14When the Almighty scattered kings in it, it
was white as
snow in Salmon.
15The hill of God is
as the hill of Bashan; an high hill as the
hill of Bashan.
16Why leap ye, ye high hills? this
is the hill which God
desireth to dwell in; yea, the LORD will dwell in
it for ever.
17The chariots of God are twenty
thousand, even thousands
of angels: the Lord is among
them, as
in Sinai, in the holy place.
18Thou 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.
19Blessed be the
Lord, who daily
loadeth us with
benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah.
20He
that is our God is the
God of salvation; and unto GOD the Lord belong the
issues from death.
21But God shall wound the head of his
enemies, and the
hairy scalp of such an one as goeth on still in his
trespasses.
22The Lord said, I will bring again from
Bashan, I will bring my
people again from the depths of the sea:
23That thy foot may be dipped in the blood
of thine enemies, and the
tongue of thy dogs in the same.
24They have seen thy goings, O God; even the
goings of my God, my King, in the sanctuary.
25The singers went before, the players on
instruments followed after;
among them
were the damsels playing with timbrels.
26Bless ye God in the congregations, even the
Lord, from the fountain of Israel.
27There is little
Benjamin with their
ruler, the princes of Judah and their
council, the princes of Zebulun, and the
princes of Naphtali.
28Thy God hath commanded thy strength:
strengthen, O God, that which thou hast wrought for
us.
29Because of thy temple at Jerusalem shall
kings bring presents unto thee.
30Rebuke 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.
31Princes shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia
shall soon stretch out her hands unto God.
32Sing unto God, ye kingdoms of the earth; O
sing praises unto the Lord; Selah:
33To him that rideth upon the heavens of
heavens, which
were of old; lo, he doth send out his voice, and
that a mighty voice.
34Ascribe ye strength unto God: his
excellency is over
Israel, and his strength is in
the clouds.
35O 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.
