Geneva1599 - Psalms - 68

68:1  To him that excelleth. A Psalme or song of David. God will arise, and his enemies shalbe scattered: they also that hate him, shall flee before him.

68:2  As the smoke vanisheth, so shalt thou driue them away: and as waxe melteth before the fire, so shall the wicked perish at the presence of God.

68:3  But the righteous shalbe glad, and reioyce before God: yea, they shall leape for ioye.

68:4  Sing vnto God, and sing prayses vnto his name: exalt him that rideth vpon the heauens, in his Name Iah, and reioyce before him.

68:5  He is a Father of the fatherlesse, and a Iudge of the widowes, euen God in his holy habitation.

68:6  God maketh the solitarie to dwell in families, and deliuereth them that were prisoners in stocks: but the rebellious shall dwell in a dry land.

68:7  O God, when thou wentest forth before thy people: when thou wentest through the wildernesse, (Selah)

68:8  The earth shooke, and the heauens dropped at the presence of this God: euen Sinai was moued at the presence of God, euen the God of Israel.

68:9  Thou, O God, sendest a gracious raine vpon thine inheritance, and thou didest refresh it when it was wearie.

68:10  Thy Congregation dwelled therein: for thou, O God, hast of thy goodnesse prepared it for the poore.

68:11  The Lord gaue matter to the women to tell of the great armie.

68:12  Kings of the armies did flee: they did flee, and she that remained in the house, deuided the spoyle.

68:13  Though ye haue lien among pots, yet shall ye be as the winges of a doue that is couered with siluer, and whose fethers are like yelowe golde.

68:14  When the Almightie scattered Kings in it, it was white as the snowe in Zalmon.

68:15  The mountaine of God is like the mountaine of Bashan: it is an high Mountaine, as mount Bashan.

68:16  Why leape ye, ye high mountaines? as for this Mountaine, God deliteth to dwell in it: yea, the Lord will dwell in it for euer.

68:17  The charets of God are twentie thousande thousand Angels, and the Lord is among them, as in the Sanctuarie of Sinai.

68:18  Thou art gone vp on high: thou hast led captiuitie captiue, and receiued giftes for men: yea, euen the rebellious hast thou led, that the Lord God might dwell there.

68:19  Praysed be the Lord, euen the God of our saluation, which ladeth vs dayly with benefites. Selah.

68:20  This is our God, euen the God that saueth vs: and to the Lord God belong the issues of death.

68:21  Surely God will wound the head of his enemies, and the hearie pate of him that walketh in his sinnes.

68:22  The Lord hath sayde, I will bring my people againe from Bashan: I will bring them againe from the depths of the Sea:

68:23  That thy foote may bee dipped in blood, and the tongue of thy dogges in the blood of the enemies, euen in it.

68:24  They haue seene, O God, thy goings, the goings of my God, and my King, which art in the Sanctuarie.

68:25  The singers went before, the players of instruments after: in the middes were the maides playing with timbrels.

68:26  Praise yee God in the assemblies, and the Lord, ye that are of the fountaine of Israel.

68:27  There was litle Beniamin with their ruler, and the princes of Iudah with their assemblie, the princes of Zebulun, and the princes of Naphtali.

68:28  Thy God hath appointed thy strength: stablish, O God, that, which thou hast wrought in vs,

68:29  Out of thy Temple vpon Ierusalem: and Kings shall bring presents vnto thee.

68:30  Destroy the company of the spearemen, and multitude of the mightie bulles with the calues of the people, that tread vnder feete pieces of siluer: scatter the people that delite in warre.

68:31  Then shall the princes come out of Egypt: Ethiopia shall hast to stretche her hands vnto God.

68:32  Sing vnto God, O yee kingdomes of the earth: sing praise vnto the Lord, (Selah)

68:33  To him that rideth vpon ye most high heauens, which were from the beginning: beholde, he will send out by his voice a mightie sound.

68:34  Ascribe the power to God: for his maiestie is vpon Israel, and his strength is in the cloudes.

68:35  O God, thou art terrible out of thine holie places: the God of Israel is hee that giueth strength and power vnto the people: praised be God.
