681Let God arise!Let his enemies be scattered!Let them who hate him also flee before him.+2As smoke is driven away,so drive them away.As wax melts before the fire,so let the wicked perish at the presence of God.+3But let the righteous be glad.Let them rejoice before God.Yes, let them rejoice with gladness.+4Sing to God! Sing praises to his name!Extol him who rides on the clouds:to Yah, his name!Rejoice before him!+5A father of the fatherless, and a defender of the widows,is God in his holy habitation.+6God sets the lonely in families.He brings out the prisoners with singing,but the rebellious dwell in a sun-scorched land.+7God, when you went out before your people,when you marched through the wilderness... Selah.+8The earth trembled.The sky also poured down rain at the presence of the God of Sinai—at the presence of God, the God of Israel.+9You, God, sent a plentiful rain.You confirmed your inheritance, when it was weary.+10Your congregation lived therein.You, God, prepared your goodness for the poor.+11The Lord announced the word.The ones who proclaim it are a great company.+12“Kings of armies flee! They flee!”She who waits at home divides the plunder,+13while you sleep among the camp fires,the wings of a dove sheathed with silver,her feathers with shining gold.+14When the Almighty scattered kings in her,it snowed on Zalmon.+15The mountains of Bashan are majestic mountains.The mountains of Bashan are rugged.+16Why do you look in envy, you rugged mountains,at the mountain where God chooses to reign?Yes, Yahweh will dwell there forever.+17The chariots of God are tens of thousands and thousands of thousands.The Lord is among them, from Sinai, into the sanctuary.+18You have ascended on high.You have led away captives.You have received gifts among men,yes, among the rebellious also, that Yah God might dwell there.+19Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears our burdens,even the God who is our salvation. Selah.+20God is to us a God of deliverance.To Yahweh, the Lord, belongs escape from death.+21But God will strike through the head of his enemies,the hairy scalp of such a one as still continues in his guiltiness.+22The Lord said, “I will bring you again from Bashan,I will bring you again from the depths of the sea;+23That you may crush them, dipping your foot in blood,that the tongues of your dogs may have their portion from your enemies.”+24They have seen your processions, God,even the processions of my God, my King, into the sanctuary.+25The singers went before, the minstrels followed after,among the ladies playing with tambourines,+26“Bless God in the congregations,even the Lord in the assembly of Israel!”+27There is little Benjamin, their ruler,the princes of Judah, their council,the princes of Zebulun, and the princes of Naphtali.+28Your God has commanded your strength.Strengthen, God, that which you have done for us.+29Because of your temple at Jerusalem,kings shall bring presents to you.+30Rebuke the wild animal of the reeds,the multitude of the bulls, with the calves of the peoples.Being humbled, may it bring bars of silver.Scatter the nations that delight in war.+31Princes shall come out of Egypt.Ethiopia shall hurry to stretch out her hands to God.+32Sing to God, you kingdoms of the earth!Sing praises to the Lord! Selah.+33To him who rides on the heaven of heavens, which are of old;behold, he utters his voice, a mighty voice.+34Ascribe strength to God!His excellency is over Israel,his strength is in the skies.+35You are awesome, God, in your sanctuaries.The God of Israel gives strength and power to his people.Praise be to God!+
