2
As 2smoke is drivenaway, so drive them away; As 3waxmeltsbefore* the fire, So let the 4wickedperishbefore*God.
3
But let the 5righteous be glad; let them exultbeforeGod; Yes, let them rejoice with gladness.
4
Sing to God, 6singpraises to His name; 7Lift up a song for Him who 8rides through the deserts, Whose 9name is the LORD, and exultbefore Him.
5
A 10father of the fatherless and a 11judge for the widows, Is God in His 12holyhabitation.
6
God13makes a home for the lonely; He 14leads out the prisoners into prosperity, Only15the rebelliousdwell in a parchedland.
7
O God, when You 16wentforthbefore Your people, When You 17marched through the wilderness, Selah.
8
The 18earthquaked; The 19heavensalsodropped rain at the presence of God; 20Sinaiitself quaked at the presence of God, the God of Israel.
9
You 21shedabroad a plentifulrain, O God; You confirmed Your inheritance when it was parched.
10
Your creaturessettled in it; You 22provided in Your goodness for the poor, O God.
11
The Lordgives the command; The 23women who proclaim the good tidings are a greathost:
12
"24Kings of armiesflee, they flee, And she whoremains at home will 25divide the spoil!"
13
When you liedown26among the sheepfolds, You are like the wings of a dovecovered with silver, And its pinions with glisteninggold.
14
When the Almighty27scattered the kings there, It was snowing in 28Zalmon.
15
A 29mountain of God is the mountain of Bashan; A mountain of many peaks is the mountain of Bashan.
16
Why do you look with envy, O mountains with many peaks, At the mountain which God has 30desired for His abode? Surely31the LORD will dwell there forever.
17
The 32chariots of God are myriads, 33thousands upon thousands; The Lord is among them as at Sinai, in holiness.
18
You have 34ascended on high, You have 35ledcaptive Your captives; You have receivedgifts among men, Even among the rebelliousalso, that the LORDGod may dwell there.
19
Blessed be the Lord, who daily36bears our burden, 37The God who is our salvation. Selah.
20
God is to us a 38God of deliverances; And 39to GOD the Lord belong escapes from death.
21
SurelyGod will 40shatter the head of His enemies, The hairycrown of him who goes on in his guiltydeeds.
22
The Lordsaid, "41I will bring them back from Bashan. I will bring them back from the depths of the sea;
23
That 42your foot may shatter them in blood, The tongue of your 43dogs may have its portion from your enemies."
24
They have seen44Your procession, O God, The procession of my God, my King, 45into the sanctuary.
25
The 46singerswent on, the musiciansafter them, In the midst of the 47maidensbeatingtambourines.
26
48BlessGod in the congregations, Even the LORD, you who are of the 49fountain of Israel.
27
There is 50Benjamin, the youngest, ruling them, The princes of Judah in their throng, The princes of 51Zebulun, the princes of Naphtali.
28
Your God has 52commanded your strength; Show Yourself strong, O God, 53who have acted on our behalf.
29
Because of Your temple at Jerusalem54Kings will bringgifts to You.
30
Rebuke the 55beasts in the reeds, The herd of 56bulls with the calves of the peoples, Trampling under foot the pieces of silver; He has 57scattered the peoples who delight in war.
31
Envoys will come out of 58Egypt; 59Ethiopia will quicklystretch out her hands to God.
32
Sing to God, O 60kingdoms of the earth, 61Singpraises to the Lord, Selah.
33
