[1] Let God arise, let His enemies be scattered, And let those who hate Him flee before Him.
[2] As smoke is driven away, so drive them away; As wax melts before the fire, So let the wicked perish before God.
[3] But let the righteous be glad; let them exult before God; Yes, let them rejoice with gladness.
[4] Sing to God, sing praises to His name; Lift up a song for Him who rides through the deserts, Whose name is the LORD, and exult before Him.
[5] A father of the fatherless and a judge for the widows, Is God in His holy habitation.
[6] God makes a home for the lonely; He leads out the prisoners into prosperity, Only the rebellious dwell in a parched land.
[7] O God, when You went forth before Your people, When You marched through the wilderness, Selah.
[8] The earth quaked; The heavens also dropped rain at the presence of God; Sinai itself quaked at the presence of God, the God of Israel.
[9] You shed abroad a plentiful rain, O God; You confirmed Your inheritance when it was parched.
[10] Your creatures settled in it; You provided in Your goodness for the poor, O God.
[11] The Lord gives the command; The women who proclaim the good tidings are a great host:
[12] “Kings of armies flee, they flee, And she who remains at home will divide the spoil!”
[13] When you lie down among the sheepfolds, You are like the wings of a dove covered with silver, And its pinions with glistening gold.
[14] When the Almighty scattered the kings there, It was snowing in Zalmon.
[15] A mountain of God is the mountain of Bashan; A mountain of many peaks is the mountain of Bashan.
[16] Why do you look with envy, O mountains with many peaks, At the mountain which God has desired for His abode? Surely the LORD will dwell there forever.
[17] The chariots of God are myriads, thousands upon thousands; The Lord is among them as at Sinai, in holiness.
[18] You have ascended on high, You have led captive Your captives; You have received gifts among men, Even among the rebellious also, that the LORD God may dwell there.
[19] Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears our burden, The God who is our salvation. Selah.
[20] God is to us a God of deliverances; And to GOD the Lord belong escapes from death.
[21] Surely God will shatter the head of His enemies, The hairy crown of him who goes on in his guilty deeds.
[22] The Lord said, “I will bring them back from Bashan. I will bring them back from the depths of the sea;
[23] That your foot may shatter them in blood, The tongue of your dogs may have its portion from your enemies.”
[24] They have seen Your procession, O God, The procession of my God, my King, into the sanctuary.
[25] The singers went on, the musicians after them, In the midst of the maidens beating tambourines.
[26] Bless God in the congregations, Even the LORD, you who are of the fountain of Israel.
[27] There is Benjamin, the youngest, ruling them, The princes of Judah in their throng, The princes of Zebulun, the princes of Naphtali.
[28] Your God has commanded your strength; Show Yourself strong, O God, who have acted on our behalf.
[29] Because of Your temple at Jerusalem Kings will bring gifts to You.
[30] Rebuke the beasts in the reeds, The herd of bulls with the calves of the peoples, Trampling under foot the pieces of silver; He has scattered the peoples who delight in war.
[31] Envoys will come out of Egypt; Ethiopia will quickly stretch out her hands to God.
[32] Sing to God, O kingdoms of the earth, Sing praises to the Lord, Selah.
[33] To Him who rides upon the highest heavens, which are from ancient times; Behold, He speaks forth with His voice, a mighty voice.
[34] Ascribe strength to God; His majesty is over Israel And His strength is in the skies.
[35] O God, You are awesome from Your sanctuary. The God of Israel Himself gives strength and power to the people. Blessed be God!
