| 1 | Let God rise up, let his enemies be scattered; let those who hate him flee before him. |
| 2 | As smoke is driven away, so drive them away; as wax melts before the fire, let the wicked perish before God. |
| 3 | But let the righteous be joyful; let them exult before God; let them be jubilant with joy. |
| 4 | Sing to God, sing praises to his name; lift up a song to him who rides upon the clouds — his name is the LORD — be exultant before him. |
| 5 | Father of orphans and protector of widows is God in his holy habitation. |
| 6 | God gives the desolate a home to live in; he leads out the prisoners to prosperity, but the rebellious live in a parched land. |
| 7 | O God, when you went out before your people, when you marched through the wilderness, Selah |
| 8 | the earth quaked, the heavens poured down rain at the presence of God, the God of Sinai, at the presence of God, the God of Israel. |
| 9 | Rain in abundance, O God, you showered abroad; you restored your heritage when it languished; |
| 10 | your flock found a dwelling in it; in your goodness, O God, you provided for the needy. |
| 11 | The Lord gives the command; great is the company of those who bore the tidings: |
| 12 | “The kings of the armies, they flee, they flee!” The women at home divide the spoil, |
| 13 | though they stay among the sheepfolds — the wings of a dove covered with silver, its pinions with green gold. |
| 14 | When the Almighty scattered kings there, snow fell on Zalmon. |
| 15 | O mighty mountain, mountain of Bashan; O many-peaked mountain, mountain of Bashan! |
| 16 | Why do you look with envy, O many-peaked mountain, at the mount that God desired for his abode, where the LORD will reside forever? |
| 17 | With mighty chariotry, twice ten thousand, thousands upon thousands, the Lord came from Sinai into the holy place. |
| 18 | You ascended the high mount, leading captives in your train and receiving gifts from people, even from those who rebel against the LORD God’s abiding there. |
| 19 | Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears us up; God is our salvation. Selah |
| 20 | Our God is a God of salvation, and to GOD, the Lord, belongs escape from death. |
| 21 | But God will shatter the heads of his enemies, the hairy crown of those who walk in their guilty ways. |
| 22 | The Lord said, “I will bring them back from Bashan, I will bring them back from the depths of the sea, |
| 23 | so that you may bathe your feet in blood, so that the tongues of your dogs may have their share from the foe.” |
| 24 | Your solemn processions are seen, O God, the processions of my God, my King, into the sanctuary — |
| 25 | the singers in front, the musicians last, between them girls playing tambourines: |
| 26 | “Bless God in the great congregation, the LORD, O you who are of Israel’s fountain!” |
| 27 | There is Benjamin, the least of them, in the lead, the princes of Judah in a body, the princes of Zebulun, the princes of Naphtali. |
| 28 | Summon your might, O God; show your strength, O God, as you have done for us before. |
| 29 | Because of your temple at Jerusalem kings bear gifts to you. |
| 30 | Rebuke the wild animals that live 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. |
| 31 | Let bronze be brought from Egypt; let Ethiopia hasten to stretch out its hands to God. |
| 32 | Sing to God, O kingdoms of the earth; sing praises to the Lord, Selah |
| 33 | O rider in the heavens, the ancient heavens; listen, he sends out his voice, his mighty voice. |
| 34 | Ascribe power to God, whose majesty is over Israel; and whose power is in the skies. |
| 35 | Awesome is God in his sanctuary, the God of Israel; he gives power and strength to his people. Blessed be God! |
