Jubilee2000 - Psalms - 68

68:1  <> Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered; let those that hate him flee before him.

68:2  As smoke is driven away; [so] drive [them] away: as wax melts before the fire, [so] shall the wicked perish at the presence of God.

68:3  But the righteous shall be glad; they shall rejoice before God; they shall dance with joy.

68:4  Sing unto God, sing psalms unto his name; extol him that rides upon the heavens by his name JAH and rejoice before him.

68:5  A father of the fatherless and a defender of the widows [is] God in his holy habitation.

68:6  God sets the solitary in families; he brings out those who are bound with chains, but the rebellious dwell in a dry [land].

68:7  O God, when thou didst go forth before thy people, when thou didst march through the wilderness; Selah:

68:8  The earth shook, the heavens also dropped [their rain] at the presence of God; [even] Sinai itself [was moved] at the presence of God, the God of Israel.

68:9  Thou, O God, didst send a plentiful rain, by which thou didst confirm thine inheritance, when it was weary.

68:10  Thy presence was in thy congregation; thou, O God, by thy goodness thou hast provided for the poor.

68:11  The Lord shall give [a] word; great [shall be] the host of the evangelists [thereof].

68:12  Kings of armies fled apace, and she that dwells in the house divided the spoil.

68:13  Though ye be cast among the pots, [yet shall ye be as] the wings of a dove covered with silver and her feathers with yellow gold.

68:14  When the Almighty scattered the kings [that were] in her, she became [white] as the snow in Salmon.

68:15  The mountain of Bashan [is] the mountain of God; the mountain of Bashan is a high [mountain].

68:16  Why leap ye, ye high mountains? [This is] the mountain [which] God desires to dwell in; yea, the LORD will dwell [in it] for ever.

68:17  The chariots of God [are] two thousand thousands of angels; the Lord [is] among them [as in] Sinai, in the sanctuary.

68:18  Thou 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].

68:19  Blessed [be] the Lord, [who] daily ladens us [with benefits], [even] the God of our saving health. Selah.

68:20  [He that is] our God [is] the God of salvation, and unto GOD the Lord [belongs] the way of escape from death.

68:21  Surely God shall smite the head of his enemies, [and] the hairy scalp of such a one as goes on still in his trespasses.

68:22  The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will bring [my people] again from the depths of the sea:

68:23  Thy foot shall be dipped in the blood of [thine] enemies [and] the tongue of thy dogs in the same.

68:24  They have seen thy ways, O God, [even] the ways of my God, my King, in the sanctuary.

68:25  The singers went before, the players on instruments [followed] after; in between [them were] the virgins playing with timbrels.

68:26  Bless ye God in the congregations, [even] the Lord, ye of the lineage of Israel.

68:27  There [was] little Benjamin [as] their ruler, the princes of Judah [in] their congregation, the princes of Zebulun [and] the princes of Naphtali.

68:28  Thy God has commanded thy strength; confirm, O God, that which thou hast wrought for us.

68:29  From thy temple in Jerusalem shall kings bring presents unto thee.

68:30  Reprehend the company of spearmen, the multitude of the strong, with the lords of the peoples, trampling them underfoot with [their] pieces of silver; Destroy thou the peoples [that] delight in war.

68:31  Princes shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall soon stretch out her hands unto God.

68:32  Sing unto God, ye kingdoms of the earth; O sing praises unto the Lord Selah:

68:33  To him that rides upon the heavens of the heavens [which were] of old; behold, he shall send forth his voice, [his] mighty voice.

68:34  Ascribe ye strength unto God; his excellency [is] over Israel, and his strength [is] in the clouds.

68:35  O God, [thou art] terrible out of thy sanctuaries; the God of Israel [is] he that gives strength and power unto [his] people. Blessed [be] God.:
