1 ¶ Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered; let those that hate him flee before him.

2 A s 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 B ut the righteous shall be glad; they shall rejoice before God; they shall dance with joy.

4 S ing 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 G od 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 T he 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 T hou, O God, didst send a plentiful rain, by which thou didst confirm thine inheritance, when it was weary.

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

11 T he Lord shall give a word; great shall be the host of the evangelists thereof.

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

13 T hough 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 W hen 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 W hy 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 T he chariots of God are two thousand, thousands of angels; the Lord is among them as in Sinai, in the sanctuary.

18 T hou 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 B lessed be the Lord, who daily lades us with benefits, even the God of our saving health. Selah.

20 H e that is our God is the God of salvation, and unto GOD the Lord belongs the way of escape from death.

21 S urely 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 T hy foot shall be dipped in the blood of thine enemies and the tongue of thy dogs in the same.

24 T hey have seen thy ways, O God, even the ways of my God, my King, in the sanctuary.

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

26 B less ye God in the congregations, even the Lord, ye of the lineage of Israel.

27 T here was little Benjamin as their ruler, the princes of Judah in their congregation, the princes of Zebulun and the princes of Naphtali.

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

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

30 R eprehend 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 P rinces 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 T o him that rides upon the heavens of the heavens which were of old; behold, he shall send forth his voice, his mighty voice.

34 A scribe 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.
