Psalms 68

Lexham English Bible LEB

1 God will arise; his enemies will be scattered, and those who hate him will flee from before him.

2 As smoke is driven off, you will drive [them] off. As wax melts before fire, [the] wicked will perish before God.

3 But [the] righteous will be glad; they will exalt before God, and will rejoice with joy.

4 Sing to God, sing praises to his name. Lift up [a song] to [the] rider on the clouds--his name is Yah-- and rejoice before him.

5 A father to orphans and a judge for widows [is] God in his holy habitation.

6 God settles the lonely in a home; he brings prisoners out into prosperity. But the rebellious abide in a barren land.

7 O God, when you went out before your people, when you marched through [the] desert, Selah

8 [the] earth shook; [the] heavens also dripped [rain] at the presence of God who [was] at Sinai, at the presence of God, the God of Israel.

9 You caused abundant rain to fall, O God. When your inheritance was weary you revived it.

10 Your community dwelled in it. You provided in your goodness for the poor, O God.

11 The Lord gives [the] word. Great is the company of women who announce:

12 "[The] kings of armies flee, they flee, and she [who] remains at home divides [the] spoil.

13 Though you [men] lie down between the sheepfolds, [you will be like the] wings of a dove covered in silver and its pinions in yellow gold."

14 When Shaddai scattered kings on it, on Zalmon it snowed.

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 hostility, O many-peaked mountains? This mountain God desires for his dwelling. Yes, Yahweh will abide [in it] forever.

17 The chariots of God [are] twice ten thousand, [with] thousands doubled. The Lord [is] among them [at] Sinai, distinctive [in victory].

18 You have ascended on high; you have led away captives. You have received gifts [from] among humankind, and even [from the] rebellious, so that Yah God may dwell [there].

19 Blessed be the Lord. Daily he loads us [with benefits], the God [of] our salvation. Selah

20 Our God [is] a God of deliverances, and to [the] Yahweh the Lord belong escapes from death.

21 But God will shatter the head of his enemies, the hairy scalp [of the one who] {continues on} in his guilt.

22 The Lord said, "I will bring [them] back from Bashan; I will bring [them] back from [the] depths of [the] sea,

23 so that your foot may shatter [them] bloody [for] the tongues of your dogs [to have] their share from [the] enemies."

24 They have seen your processions, O God, the processions of my God, my king, distinctive [in victory].

25 Singers went up front, those playing stringed instruments last, between [them] young women [playing] tambourines.

26 Bless God in [the] assemblies, Yahweh from the fountain of Israel.

27 There [is] little Benjamin ruling them, [with] the princes of Judah [in] their throng, the princes of Zebulun [and] the princes of Naphtali.

28 Your God has commanded your strength. Show yourself strong, O God, [by] what you perform for us.

29 Because your temple [is] above Jerusalem, kings will bring tribute to you.

30 Rebuke [the] beasts in [the] reeds, [the] herd of bulls with [the] calves of [the] peoples, trampling the pieces of silver. Scatter [the] nations [who] delight in battles.

31 Ambassadors will come from Egypt; Cush will quickly stretch out her hands to God.

32 O kingdoms of the earth, sing to God; sing praise to [the] Lord, Selah

33 to the one who rides in the highest heavens of old. See, he gives forth his voice, a mighty voice.

34 Ascribe strength to God. His majesty [is] over Israel, and his strength [is] in the clouds.

35 Awesome [are you], O God, from your sanctuary. The God of Israel, [it is] he who gives strength and might to the people. Blessed be God.

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

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.

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.

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.
