Psalms 68

Common English Bible CEB

1 Let God rise up; let his enemies scatter; let those who hate him run scared before him!

2 Like smoke is driven away, drive them away! Like wax melting before fire, let the wicked perish before God!

3 But let the righteous be glad and celebrate before God. Let them rejoice with gladness!

4 Sing to God! Sing praises to his name! Exalt the one who rides the clouds! The LORD is his name. Celebrate before him!

5 Father of orphans and defender of widows is God in his holy habitation.

6 God settles the lonely in their homes; he sets prisoners free with happiness, but the rebellious dwell in a parched land.

7 When you went forth before your people, God, when you marched through the wasteland, Selah

8 the earth shook! Yes, heaven poured down before God, the one from Sinai— before God, the God of Israel!

9 You showered down abundant rain, God; when your inheritance grew weary, you restored it yourself,

10 and your creatures settled in it. In your goodness, God, you provided for the poor.

11 My Lord gives the command— many messengers are bringing good news:

12 "The kings of armies are on the run! The women back home divide the spoil.

13 Even if you lie down among the sheepfolds, there are wings of a dove covered with silver; its pinions covered in precious gold."

14 When the Almighty scattered the kings there, snow fell on Mount Zalmon.

15 Mighty mountain, Mount Bashan; many-peaked mountain, Mount Bashan!

16 You many-peaked mountain: Why do you look with envy at the mountain God desired for his dwelling, the mountain where the LORD dwells forever?

17 God's chariots are twice ten thousand— countless thousands! My Lord came from Sinai into the sanctuary.

18 You ascended the heights, leading away your captives, receiving tribute from people, even from those who rebel against the LORD God's dwelling there.

19 Bless the Lord! The God of our salvation supports us day after day! Selah

20 Our God is the God of salvation, and escape from certain death comes through God my LORD.

21 Yes, God will shatter the heads of his enemies— the very skulls of those who walk in guilt.

22 My Lord has spoken: "From Bashan I will bring those people back. I will bring them back from the ocean's depths

23 so that you can wash your feet in their blood, so that your dogs' tongues can lap up their share of your enemies."

24 They saw your procession, God— the procession of my God, my king, into the sanctuary.

25 First came the singers, then the musicians; between them the young women were playing hand drums:

26 "Bless God in the great congregation; bless the LORD from Israel's fountain!"

27 There's Benjamin leading them, though he's little; then the princes of Judah, their speaker; then the princes of Zebulun and the princes of Naphtali.

28 Summon your strength, God! Show how strong you are, God, just as you've done for us before,

29 from your temple above Jerusalem, where kings bring you gifts.

30 Rebuke the wild animals of the marshland, the herd of bulls among the calves of the peoples. Trample those who delight in money; scatter the peoples who take pleasure in battles.

31 Let ambassadors come from Egypt; let Cush stretch out its hands to God.

32 Sing to God, all kingdoms of the earth! Sing praises to my Lord. Selah

33 Sing to the one who rides through heaven, the most ancient heaven. Look! God sends forth his voice, his mighty voice.

34 Recognize how strong God is! His majesty extends over Israel; his strength is in the clouds.

35 You are awesome, God, in your sanctuaries— the God of Israel who gives strength and power to his people! Bless God!

1 May God arise, may his enemies be scattered; may his foes flee before him.

8 the earth shook, the heavens poured down rain, before God, the One of Sinai, before God, the God of Israel.

9 You gave abundant showers, O God; you refreshed your weary inheritance.

10 Your people settled in it, and from your bounty, God, you provided for the poor.

11 The Lord announces the word, and the women who proclaim it are a mighty throng:

12 “Kings and armies flee in haste; the women at home divide the plunder.

13 Even while you sleep among the sheep pens,the wings of my dove are sheathed with silver, its feathers with shining gold.”

14 When the Almighty scattered the kings in the land, it was like snow fallen on Mount Zalmon.

15 Mount Bashan, majestic mountain, Mount Bashan, rugged mountain,

16 why gaze in envy, you rugged mountain, at the mountain where God chooses to reign, where the LORD himself will dwell forever?

17 The chariots of God are tens of thousands and thousands of thousands; the Lord has come from Sinai into his sanctuary.

18 When you ascended on high, you took many captives; you received gifts from people, even from the rebellious— that you,LORD God, might dwell there.

19 Praise be to the Lord, to God our Savior, who daily bears our burdens.

20 Our God is a God who saves; from the Sovereign LORD comes escape from death.

21 Surely God will crush the heads of his enemies, the hairy crowns of those who go on in their sins.

22 The Lord says, “I will bring them from Bashan; I will bring them from the depths of the sea,

23 that your feet may wade in the blood of your foes, while the tongues of your dogs have their share.”

24 Your procession, God, has come into view, the procession of my God and King into the sanctuary.

25 In front are the singers, after them the musicians; with them are the young women playing the timbrels.

26 Praise God in the great congregation; praise the LORD in the assembly of Israel.

27 There is the little tribe of Benjamin, leading them, there the great throng of Judah’s princes, and there the princes of Zebulun and of Naphtali.

28 Summon your power, God ; show us your strength, our God, as you have done before.

29 Because of your temple at Jerusalem kings will bring you gifts.

30 Rebuke the beast among the reeds, the herd of bulls among the calves of the nations. Humbled, may the beast bring bars of silver. Scatter the nations who delight in war.

31 Envoys will come from Egypt; Cush will submit herself to God.

32 Sing to God, you kingdoms of the earth, sing praise to the Lord,

33 to him who rides across the highest heavens, the ancient heavens, who thunders with mighty voice.

34 Proclaim the power of God, whose majesty is over Israel, whose power is in the heavens.

35 You, God, are awesome in your sanctuary; the God of Israel gives power and strength to his people. Praise be to God!
