Psalm 68 (kjv)
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.
- As smoke is driven away, [so] drive [them] away: as wax
melteth before the fire, [so] let the wicked perish at the
presence of God.
- But let the righteous be glad; let them rejoice before
God: yea, let them exceedingly rejoice.
- Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that
rideth upon the heavens by his name JAH, and rejoice before
him.
- A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows,
[is] God in his holy habitation.
- God setteth the solitary in families: he bringeth out
those which are bound with chains: but the rebellious dwell
in a dry [land].
- O God, when thou wentest forth before thy people, when
thou didst march through the wilderness; Selah:
- The 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.
- Thou, O God, didst send a plentiful rain, whereby thou
didst confirm thine inheritance, when it was weary.
- Thy congregation hath dwelt therein: thou, O God, hast
prepared of thy goodness for the poor.
- The Lord gave the word: great [was] the company of
those that published [it].
- Kings of armies did flee apace: and she that tarried at
home divided the spoil.
- Though 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.
- When the Almighty scattered kings in it, it was [white]
as snow in Salmon.
- The hill of God [is as] the hill of Bashan; an high
hill [as] the hill of Bashan.
- Why leap ye, ye high hills? [this is] the hill [which]
God desireth to dwell in; yea, the LORD will dwell [in it]
for ever.
- The chariots of God [are] twenty thousand, [even]
thousands of angels: the Lord [is] among them, [as in]
Sinai, in the holy [place].
- 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].
- Blessed [be] the Lord, [who] daily loadeth us [with
benefits, even] the God of our salvation. Selah.
- [He that is] our God [is] the God of salvation; and
unto GOD the Lord [belong] the issues from death.
- But God shall wound the head of his enemies, [and] the
hairy scalp of such an one as goeth on still in his
trespasses.
- The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will
bring [my people] again from the depths of the sea:
- That thy foot may be dipped in the blood of [thine]
enemies, [and] the tongue of thy dogs in the same.
- They have seen thy goings, O God; [even] the goings of
my God, my King, in the sanctuary.
- The singers went before, the players on instruments
[followed] after; among [them were] the damsels playing
with timbrels.
- Bless ye God in the congregations, [even] the Lord,
from the fountain of Israel.
- There [is] little Benjamin [with] their ruler, the
princes of Judah [and] their council, the princes of
Zebulun, [and] the princes of Naphtali.
- Thy God hath commanded thy strength: strengthen, O God,
that which thou hast wrought for us.
- Because of thy temple at Jerusalem shall kings bring
presents unto thee.
- Rebuke 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.
- Princes shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall soon
stretch out her hands unto God.
- Sing unto God, ye kingdoms of the earth; O sing praises
unto the Lord; Selah:
- To him that rideth upon the heavens of heavens, [which
were] of old; lo, he doth send out his voice, [and that] a
mighty voice.
- Ascribe ye strength unto God: his excellency [is] over
Israel, and his strength [is] in the clouds.
- O 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.
