| 1 | For the Leader. A Psalm of David, a Song. |
| 2 | Let God arise, let His enemies be scattered; And let them that hate Him flee before Him. |
| 3 | As smoke is driven away, so drive them away; As wax melteth before the fire, So let the wicked perish at the presence of God. |
| 4 | But let the righteous be glad, let them exult before God; Yea, let them rejoice with gladness. |
| 5 | Sing unto God, sing praises to His name; Extol Him that rideth upon the skies, whose name is the LORD; And exult ye before Him. |
| 6 | A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, Is God in His holy habitation. |
| 7 | God maketh the solitary to dwell in a house; He bringeth out the prisoners into prosperity; The rebellious dwell but in a parched land. |
| 8 | O God, when Thou wentest forth before Thy people, When Thou didst march through the wilderness; Selah |
| 9 | The earth trembled, the heavens also dropped at the presence of God; Even yon Sinai trembled at the presence of God, the God of Israel. |
| 10 | A bounteous rain didst Thou pour down, O God; When Thine inheritance was weary, Thou didst confirm it. |
| 11 | Thy flock settled therein; Thou didst prepare in Thy goodness for the poor, O God. |
| 12 | The Lord giveth the word; The women that proclaim the tidings are a great host. |
| 13 | Kings of armies flee, they flee; And she that tarrieth at home divideth the spoil. |
| 14 | When ye lie among the sheepfolds, The wings of the dove are covered with silver, And her pinions with the shimmer of gold. . |
| 15 | When the Almighty scattereth kings therein, It snoweth in Zalmon. |
| 16 | A mountain of God is the mountain of Bashan; A mountain of peaks is the mountain of Bashan. |
| 17 | Why look ye askance, ye mountains of peaks, At the mountain which God hath desired for His abode? Yea, the LORD will dwell therein for ever. |
| 18 | The chariots of God are myriads, even thousands upon thousands; The Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in holiness. |
| 19 | Thou hast ascended on high, Thou hast led captivity captive; Thou hast received gifts among men, Yea, among the rebellious also, that the LORD God might dwell there. |
| 20 | Blessed be the Lord, day by day He beareth our burden, Even the God who is our salvation. Selah |
| 21 | God is unto us a God of deliverances; And unto GOD the Lord belong the issues of death. |
| 22 | Surely God will smite through the head of His enemies, The hairy scalp of him that goeth about in his guiltiness. |
| 23 | The Lord said: 'I will bring back from Bashan, I will bring them back from the depths of the sea; |
| 24 | That thy foot may wade through blood, That the tongue of thy dogs may have its portion from thine enemies.' |
| 25 | They see Thy goings, O God, Even the goings of my God, my King, in holiness. |
| 26 | The singers go before, the minstrels follow after, In the midst of damsels playing upon timbrels. |
| 27 | 'Bless ye God in full assemblies, Even the Lord, ye that are from the fountain of Israel.' |
| 28 | There is Benjamin, the youngest, ruling them, The princes of Judah their council, The princes of Zebulun, the princes of Naphtali. |
| 29 | Thy God hath commanded thy strength; Be strong, O God, Thou that hast wrought for us |
| 30 | Out of Thy temple at Jerusalem, Whither kings shall bring presents unto Thee. |
| 31 | Rebuke the wild beast of the reeds, The multitude of the bulls, with the calves of the peoples, Every one submitting himself with pieces of silver; He hath scattered the peoples that delight in war! |
| 32 | Nobles shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall hasten to stretch out her hands unto God. |
| 33 | Sing unto God, ye kingdoms of the earth; O sing praises unto the Lord; Selah |
| 34 | To Him that rideth upon the heavens of heavens, which are of old; Lo, He uttereth His voice, a mighty voice. |
| 35 | Ascribe ye strength unto God; His majesty is over Israel, And His strength is in the skies. |
| 36 | Awful is God out of thy holy places; The God of Israel, He giveth strength and power unto the people; Blessed be God. |
