Psalms 68:17-27

17 The chariots of God, twice ten thousand, and thousands more besides, The Lord in the lead, riding down Sinai - straight to the Holy Place!
18 You climbed to the High Place, captives in tow, your arms full of booty from rebels, And now you sit there in state, God, sovereign God!
19 Blessed be the Lord - day after day he carries us along.
20 He's our Savior, our God, oh yes! He's God-for-us, he's God-who-saves-us. Lord God knows all death's ins and outs.
21 What's more, he made heads roll, split the skulls of the enemy As he marched out of heaven,
22 saying, "I tied up the Dragon in knots, put a muzzle on the Deep Blue Sea."
23 You can wade through your enemies' blood, and your dogs taste of your enemies from your boots.
24 See God on parade to the sanctuary, my God, my King on the march!
25 Singers out front, the band behind, maidens in the middle with castanets.
26 The whole choir blesses God. Like a fountain of praise, Israel blesses God.
27 Look - little Benjamin's out front and leading Princes of Judah in their royal robes, princes of Zebulon, princes of Naphtali.
