engKJVCPB: Psalms 68

=> Chapters

To the chief Musician, A Psalm or Song of David.

[1] Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered:

Let them also that hate him flee before him.

[2] 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.

[3] But let the righteous be glad; let them rejoice before God:

Yea, let them exceedingly rejoice.

[4] Sing unto God, sing praises to his name:

Extol him that rideth upon the heavens

By his name JAH, and rejoice before him.

[5] A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows,

Is God in his holy habitation.

[6] God setteth the solitary in families:

He bringeth out those which are bound with chains:

But the rebellious dwell in a dry land.

[7] O God, when thou wentest forth before thy people,

When thou didst march through the wilderness; Selah.

[8] 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.

[9] Thou, O God, didst send a plentiful rain,

Whereby thou didst confirm thine inheritance, when it was weary.

[10] Thy congregation hath dwelt therein:

Thou, O God, hast prepared of thy goodness for the poor.

[11] The Lord gave the word:

Great was the company of those that published it.

[12] Kings of armies did flee apace:

And she that tarried at home divided the spoil.

[13] 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.

[14] When the Almighty scattered kings in it,

It was white as snow in Salmon.

[15] The hill of God is as the hill of Bashan;

A high hill as the hill of Bashan.

[16] 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.

[17] The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands of angels:

The Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in the holy place.

[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.

[19] Blessed 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.

[21] But God shall wound the head of his enemies,

And the hairy scalp of such a one as goeth on still in his trespasses.

[22] The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan,

I will bring my people again from the depths of the sea:

[23] That thy foot may be dipped in the blood of thine enemies,

And the tongue of thy dogs in the same.

[24] They have seen thy goings, O God;

Even the goings of my God, my King, in the sanctuary.

[25] The singers went before, the players on instruments followed after;

Among them were the damsels playing with timbrels.

[26] Bless ye God in the congregations,

Even the Lord, from the fountain of Israel.

[27] There is little Benjamin with their ruler,

The princes of Judah and their council,

The princes of Zebulun, and the princes of Naphtali.

[28] Thy God hath commanded thy strength:

Strengthen, O God, that which thou hast wrought for us.

[29] Because of thy temple at Jerusalem

Shall kings bring presents unto thee.

[30] 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.

[31] Princes shall come out of Egypt;

Ethiopia shall soon stretch out her hands unto God.

[32] Sing unto God, ye kingdoms of the earth;

O sing praises unto the Lord; Selah.

[33] 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.

[34] Ascribe ye strength unto God:

His excellency is over Israel,

And his strength is in the clouds.

[35] 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.
