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

8 T he 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 T hou, O God, didst send a plentiful rain, whereby thou didst confirm thine inheritance, when it was weary.

10 T hy congregation hath dwelt therein: thou, O God, hast prepared of thy goodness for the poor.

11 T he Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that published it.

12 K ings of armies did flee apace: and she that tarried at home divided the spoil.

13 T hough 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 W hen the Almighty scattered kings in it, it was white as snow in Salmon.

15 T he hill of God is as the hill of Bashan; an high hill as the hill of Bashan.

16 W hy 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 T he chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands of angels: the Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in the holy place.

19 B lessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah.

20 H e that is our God is the God of salvation; and unto God the Lord belong the issues from death.

21 B ut God shall wound the head of his enemies, and the hairy scalp of such an one as goeth on still in his trespasses.

22 T he Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will bring my people again from the depths of the sea:

23 T hat thy foot may be dipped in the blood of thine enemies, and the tongue of thy dogs in the same.

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

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

27 T here is little Benjamin with their ruler, the princes of Judah and their council, the princes of Zebulun, and the princes of Naphtali.

28 T hy God hath commanded thy strength: strengthen, O God, that which thou hast wrought for us.

29 B ecause of thy temple at Jerusalem shall kings bring presents unto thee.

30 R ebuke 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 P rinces shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall soon stretch out her hands unto God.

32 S ing unto God, ye kingdoms of the earth; O sing praises unto the Lord; Selah:

33 T o 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 A scribe ye strength unto God: his excellency is over Israel, and his strength is in the clouds.
