Psalms 68

Jehovah the God of Sinai and of the sanctuary.

As smoke is driven away, so drive them away:

But let the righteous be glad; let them exult before God:

Sing unto God, sing praises to his name:

A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows,

God setteth the solitary in families:

O God, when thou wentest forth before thy people,

The earth trembled,

Thou, O God, didst send a plentiful rain,

Thy congregation dwelt therein:

The Lord giveth the word:

Kings of armies flee, they flee;

When ye lie among the sheepfolds,

When the Almighty scattered kings therein,

A mountain of God is the mountain of Bashan;

Why look ye askance, ye high mountains,

The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands upon thousands:

Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led away captives;

Blessed be the Lord, who daily beareth our burden,

God is unto us a God of deliverances;

But God will smite through the head of his enemies,

The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan,

That thou mayest crush them, dipping thy foot in blood,

They have seen thy goings, O God,

The singers went before, the minstrels followed after,

Bless ye God in the congregations,

There is little Benjamin their ruler,

Thy God hath commanded thy strength:

Because of thy temple at Jerusalem

Rebuke the wild beast of the reeds,

Princes shall come out of Egypt;

Sing unto God, ye kingdoms of the earth;

To him that rideth upon the heaven of heavens, which are of old;

Ascribe ye strength unto God:

O God, thou art terrible out of thy holy places:
