1
To the chief Musician[H5329], A Psalm[H4210] or Song[H7892] of David[H1732]. Let God[H430] arise[H6965], let his enemies[H341] be scattered[H6327]: let them also that hate[H8130] him flee[H5127] before[H6440] him.
2
As smoke[H6227] is driven away[H5086], so drive them away[H5086]: as wax[H1749] melteth[H4549] before[H6440] the fire[H784], so let the wicked[H7563] perish[H6] at the presence[H6440] of God[H430].
3
But let the righteous[H6662] be glad[H8055]; let them rejoice[H5970] before[H6440] God[H430]: yea, let them exceedingly[H8057] rejoice[H7797].
4
Sing[H7891] unto God[H430], sing[H7891] praises[H2167] to his name[H8034]: extol[H5549] him that rideth[H7392] upon the heavens[H6160] by his name[H8034] JAH[H3050], and rejoice[H5937] before[H6440] him.
5
A father[H1] of the fatherless[H3490], and a judge[H1781] of the widows[H490], is God[H430] in his holy[H6944] habitation[H4583].
6
God[H430] setteth[H3427] the solitary[H3173] in families[H1004]: he bringeth out[H3318] those which are bound[H615] with chains[H3574]: but the rebellious[H5637] dwell[H7931] in a dry[H6707] land.
7
O God[H430], when thou wentest forth[H3318] before[H6440] thy people[H5971], when thou didst march[H6805] through the wilderness[H3452]; Selah[H5542]:
8
The earth[H776] shook[H7493], the heavens[H8064] also dropped[H5197] at the presence[H6440] of God[H430]: even Sinai[H5514] itself[H2088] was moved at the presence[H6440] of God[H430], the God[H430] of Israel[H3478].
9
Thou, O God[H430], didst send[H5130] a plentiful[H5071] rain[H1653], whereby thou didst confirm[H3559] thine inheritance[H5159], when it was weary[H3811].
10
Thy congregation[H2416] hath dwelt[H3427] therein: thou, O God[H430], hast prepared[H3559] of thy goodness[H2896] for the poor[H6041].
11
The Lord[H136] gave[H5414] the word[H562]: great[H7227] was the company[H6635] of those that published[H1319] it.
12
Kings[H4428] of armies[H6635] did flee[H5074] apace[H5074]: and she that tarried[H5116] at home[H1004] divided[H2505] the spoil[H7998].
13
Though ye have lien[H7901] among the pots[H8240], yet shall ye be as the wings[H3671] of a dove[H3123] covered[H2645] with silver[H3701], and her feathers[H84] with yellow[H3422] gold[H2742].
14
When the Almighty[H7706] scattered[H6566] kings[H4428] in it, it was white as snow[H7949] in Salmon[H6756].
15
The hill[H2022] of God[H430] is as the hill[H2022] of Bashan[H1316]; an high[H1386] hill[H2022] as the hill[H2022] of Bashan[H1316].
16
Why leap[H7520] ye, ye high[H1386] hills?[H2022] this is the hill[H2022] which God[H430] desireth[H2530] to dwell[H7931] in[H3427]; yea, the LORD[H3068] will dwell[H7931] in[H3427] it for ever[H5331].
17
The chariots[H7393] of God[H430] are twenty thousand[H7239], even thousands[H505] of angels[H8136]: the Lord[H136] is among them, as in Sinai[H5514], in the holy[H6944] place.
18
Thou hast ascended[H5927] on high[H4791], thou hast led captivity[H7628] captive[H7617]: thou hast received[H3947] gifts[H4979] for men[H120]; yea, for the rebellious[H5637] also, that the LORD[H3050] God[H430] might dwell[H7931] among them.
19
Blessed[H1288] be the Lord[H136], who daily[H3117] loadeth[H6006] us with benefits, even the God[H410] of our salvation[H3444]. Selah[H5542].
20
He that is our God[H410] is the God[H410] of salvation[H4190]; and unto GOD[H3069] the Lord[H136] belong the issues[H8444] from death[H4194].
21
But God[H430] shall wound[H4272] the head[H7218] of his enemies[H341], and the hairy[H8181] scalp[H6936] of such an one as goeth on still[H1980] in his trespasses[H817].
22
The Lord[H136] said[H559], I will bring again[H7725] from Bashan[H1316], I will bring my people again[H7725] from the depths[H4688] of the sea[H3220]:
23
That thy foot[H7272] may be dipped[H4272] in the blood[H1818] of thine enemies[H341], and the tongue[H3956] of thy dogs[H3611] in the same.
24
They have seen[H7200] thy goings[H1979], O God[H430]; even the goings[H1979] of my God[H410], my King[H4428], in the sanctuary[H6944].
25
The singers[H7891] went before[H6923], the players on instruments[H5059] followed after[H310]; among[H8432] them were the damsels[H5959] playing with timbrels[H8608].
26
Bless[H1288] ye God[H430] in the congregations[H4721], even the Lord[H136], from the fountain[H4726] of Israel[H3478].
27
There is little[H6810] Benjamin[H1144] with their ruler[H7287], the princes[H8269] of Judah[H3063] and their council[H7277], the princes[H8269] of Zebulun[H2074], and the princes[H8269] of Naphtali[H5321].
28
Thy God[H430] hath commanded[H6680] thy strength[H5797]: strengthen[H5810], O God[H430], that which[H2098] thou hast wrought[H6466] for us.
29
Because of thy temple[H1964] at Jerusalem[H3389] shall kings[H4428] bring[H2986] presents[H7862] unto thee.
30
Rebuke[H1605] the company[H2416] of spearmen[H7070], the multitude[H5712] of the bulls[H47], with the calves[H5695] of the people[H5971], till every one submit[H7511] himself with pieces[H7518] of silver[H3701]: scatter[H967] thou the people[H5971] that delight[H2654] in war[H7128].
31
Princes[H2831] shall come out[H857] of Egypt[H4714]; Ethiopia[H3568] shall soon stretch out[H7323] her hands[H3027] unto God[H430].
32
Sing[H7891] unto God[H430], ye kingdoms[H4467] of the earth[H776]; O sing[H7891] praises[H2167] unto the Lord[H136]; Selah[H5542]:
33
To him that rideth[H7392] upon the heavens[H8064] of heavens[H8064], which were of old[H6924]; lo, he doth send out[H5414] his voice[H6963], and that a mighty[H5797] voice[H6963].
34
Ascribe[H5414] ye strength[H5797] unto God[H430]: his excellency[H1346] is over Israel[H3478], and his strength[H5797] is in the clouds[H7834].
35
O God[H430], thou art terrible[H3372] out of thy holy places[H4720]: the God[H410] of Israel[H3478] is he that giveth[H5414] strength[H5797] and power[H8592] unto his people[H5971]. Blessed[H1288] be God[H410].
