1 Let God arise!

Let his enemies be scattered!

Let them who hate him also flee before him.

2 As smoke is driven away,

so drive them away.

As wax melts 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.

Yes, let them rejoice with gladness.

4 Sing to God! Sing praises to his name!

Extol him who rides on the clouds:

to Yah, his name!

Rejoice before him!

5 A father of the fatherless, and a defender of the widows,

is God in his holy habitation.

6 God sets the lonely in families.

He brings out the prisoners with singing,

but the rebellious dwell in a sun-scorched land.

7 God, when you went out before your people,

when you marched through the wilderness... Selah.

8 The earth trembled.

The sky also poured down rain at the presence of the God of Sinai—

at the presence of God, the God of Israel.

9 You, God, sent a plentiful rain.

You confirmed your inheritance when it was weary.

10 Your congregation lived therein.

You, God, prepared your goodness for the poor.

11 The Lord announced the word.

The ones who proclaim it are a great company.

12 "Kings of armies flee! They flee!"

She who waits at home divides the plunder,

13 while you sleep among the camp fires,

the wings of a dove sheathed with silver,

her feathers with shining gold.

14 When the Almighty scattered kings in her,

it snowed on Zalmon.

15 The mountains of Bashan are majestic mountains.

The mountains of Bashan are rugged.

16 Why do you look in envy, you rugged mountains,

at the mountain where God chooses to reign?

Yes, Yahweh will dwell there forever.

17 The chariots of God are tens of thousands and thousands of thousands.

The Lord is among them, from Sinai, into the sanctuary.

18 You have ascended on high.

You have led away captives.

You have received gifts among people,

yes, among the rebellious also, that Yah God might dwell there.

19 Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears our burdens,

even the God who is our salvation. Selah.

20 God is to us a God of deliverance.

To Yahweh, the Lord, belongs escape from death.

21 But God will strike through the head of his enemies,

the hairy scalp of such a one as still continues in his guiltiness.

22 The Lord said, "I will bring you again from Bashan,

I will bring you again from the depths of the sea,

23 that you may crush them, dipping your foot in blood,

that the tongues of your dogs may have their portion from your enemies."

24 They have seen your processions, God,

even the processions of my God, my King, into the sanctuary.

25 The singers went before, the minstrels followed after,

among the ladies playing with tambourines,

26 "Bless God in the congregations,

even the Lord in the assembly of Israel!"

27 There is little Benjamin, their ruler,

the princes of Judah, their council,

the princes of Zebulun, and the princes of Naphtali.

28 Your God has commanded your strength.

Strengthen, God, that which you have done for us.

29 Because of your temple at Jerusalem,

kings shall bring presents to you.

30 Rebuke the wild animal of the reeds,

the multitude of the bulls with the calves of the peoples.

Trample under foot the bars of silver.

Scatter the nations who delight in war.

31 Princes shall come out of Egypt.

Ethiopia shall hurry to stretch out her hands to God.

32 Sing to God, you kingdoms of the earth!

Sing praises to the Lord— Selah—

33 to him who rides on the heaven of heavens, which are of old;

behold, he utters his voice, a mighty voice.

34 Ascribe strength to God!

His excellency is over Israel,

his strength is in the skies.

35 You are awesome, God, in your sanctuaries.

The God of Israel gives strength and power to his people.

Praise be to God!

1 To the Overcomer, A Psalm [or] Song of David. Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered; let those that hate him flee before him.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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 ladens us [with benefits], [even] the God of our saving health. Selah.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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 rides upon the heavens of the heavens [which were] of old; behold, he shall send forth his voice, [his] 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 sanctuaries; the God of Israel [is] he that gives strength and power unto [his] people. Blessed [be] God.:
