Psalms 68 - David And The High Spirit

Chapter 68

Let God arise let his enemies be scattered

Let those who hate him flee before him

As smoke is driven away so drive them away

As wax melts before fire

Let the wicked perish before God

But let the righteous be joyful

Let them exult before God

Let them be jubilant with joy

Sing to God sing praises to his name

Lift up cloudy to him who rides upon the clouds

His name is the Lord exult before him

Father of the fatherless and protector of widows

In God is his holy habitation

God gives the desolate a home to dwell in

He leads out the prisoners to prosperity

But the rebellious dwell in a parched land

O God when thou didst go forth before thy people

When thou didst march through the wilderness

The earth quaked the heavens poured down rain

At the presence of God

Yon Sinai quaked at the presence of God

The God of Israel

Rain in abundance O God thou didst shed abroad

And didst restore thy heritage as it languished

Thy flock found a dwelling in it

In thy goodness O God thou didst provide for the needy

The Lord gives the command

Great is the host of those who bore the tidings

The kings of the armies they flee they flee

The women at home divide the spoil

Though they stay among the sheepfolds

The wings of a dove covered with silver

Its pinions with green gold

When the almighty scattered kings there

Snow fell on Zalmon

O mighty mountain mountain of Bashan

O many-peaked mountain mountain of Bashan

Why look you with envy O many-peaked mountain

At the mount which God desired for his abode

Yea where the Lord will dwell for ever

With mighty chariotry twice ten thousand

Thousands upon thousands

The Lord came from Sinai into the holy place

Thou didst ascend the high mount

Leading captives in thy train

And receiving gifts among men

Even among the rebellious that the Lord God may dwell there

Blessed be the Lord

Who daily bears us up

God is our salvation

Our God is a God of salvation

And to God the Lord belongs escape from death

But God will shatter the heads of his enemies

The hairy crown of him who walks in his guilty ways

The Lord said

I will bring them back from Bashan

I will bring them back from the depths of the sea

That you may bathe your feet in blood

That the tongues of your dogs may have their portion from the foe

Thy solemn processions are seen O God

The processions of my king my God into the sanctuary

The singers in front the minstrels last

Between them maidens playing timbrels

Bless God in the great congregation

The Lord O you who are of Israel's fountain

There is Benjamin the least of them in the lead

The princes of Judah in their throng

The princes of Zeb'ulun the princes of Naph'tali

Summon thy might O God

Show thy strength O God thou who hast wrought for us

Because of thy temple at Jerusalem

Kings bear gifts to thee

Rebuke the beasts that dwell among the reeds

The herd of bulls with the calves of the peoples

Trample under foot those who lust after tribute

Scatter the peoples who delight in war

Let bronze be brought from Egypt

Let Ethiopia hasten to stretch out her hands to God

Sing to God O kingdoms of the earth

Sing praises to the Lord

To him who rides in the heavens the ancient heavens

Lo he sends forth his voice his mighty voice

Ascribe power to God

Whose majesty is over Israel

And his power is in the skies

Terrible is God in his sanctuary

The God of Israel

He gives power and strength to his people

Blessed be God
