✧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. ✧20[He 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.
