Psalms 68:1-35 — God the Victor

Ps.68.1-35

¹For the choirmaster . Of David. A Psalm. A song. ²Let God arise; let his enemies be scattered; let those who hate him flee before him. ³As smoke is driven away, so drive them away; as wax melts before the fire, so let the wicked perish before God. ⁴But the righteous will rejoice; they will exult before God; they will be glad with joy. ⁵Sing to God, sing praises to his name; build up the way for him who rides through the deserts; Yah is his name; exult before him. ⁶A father of the fatherless and a judge of widows is God in his holy dwelling. ⁷God settles the solitary in a home; he brings out prisoners into prosperity, but the rebellious dwell in a parched land. ⁸O God, when you went out before your people, when you marched through the wilderness, Selah ⁹the earth quaked; the heavens also poured down before God, before God at Sinai, before God, the God of Israel. ¹⁰You poured out a plentiful rain, O God; when your inheritance was weary, you restored it. ¹¹Your people settled in it; in your goodness, O God, you provided for the poor. ¹²The Lord gives the word; the women who proclaim the good news are a great host: ¹³“Kings of armies flee, they flee!” and the woman at home divides the spoil. ¹⁴Though you lie among the sheepfolds, the wings of a dove are covered with silver, and her feathers with gleaming gold. ¹⁵When the Almighty scattered kings there, it snowed on Zalmon. ¹⁶A mountain of God is Mount Bashan; a mountain of many peaks is Mount Bashan. ¹⁷Why do you look with envy, O mountains of many peaks, at the mountain God desired for his dwelling? Indeed, the LORD will dwell there forever. ¹⁸The chariots of God are myriads, thousands upon thousands; the Lord is among them; Sinai is in the sanctuary . ¹⁹You ascended on high; you led captivity captive; you received gifts among men, even among the rebellious, that Yah God might dwell there. ²⁰Blessed be the Lord, who day by day bears our burden, the God of our salvation. Selah ²¹God is for us a God of deliverances, and to the LORD, the Lord, belong escapes from death. ²²Surely God will crush the head of his enemies, the hairy crown of one who walks on in his guilt. ²³The Lord said, “I will bring them back from Bashan; I will bring them back from the depths of the sea,” ²⁴so that your foot may bathe in blood, and the tongue of your dogs may have its portion from the enemies. ²⁵They have seen your procession, O God, the procession of my God, my King, into the sanctuary. ²⁶The singers went before, the musicians after them, in the midst of young women playing tambourines. ²⁷In the assemblies bless God, the LORD, from the fountain of Israel. ²⁸There is Benjamin, the little one, leading them; the princes of Judah in their throng; the princes of Zebulun; the princes of Naphtali. ²⁹Your God has commanded your strength. Show strength, O God, you who have worked this for us. ³⁰From your temple above Jerusalem, kings will bring you tribute. ³¹Rebuke the beast of the reeds , the herd of bulls among the calves of the peoples, trampling on pieces of silver; scatter the peoples who delight in battles. ³²Nobles will come from Egypt; Cush will quickly stretch out its hands to God. ³³Kingdoms of the earth, sing to God; sing praises to the Lord. Selah ³⁴To him who rides in the ancient highest heavens—behold, he sends out his voice, a mighty voice. ³⁵Ascribe strength to God; over Israel is his majesty, and his strength is in the skies.
