1 L et God arise, let His enemies be scattered, And let those who hate Him flee before Him.

2 A s smoke is driven away, so drive them away; As wax melts before the fire, So let the wicked perish before God.

3 B ut let the righteous be glad; let them exult before God; Yes, let them rejoice with gladness.

4 S ing to God, sing praises to His name; Lift up a song for Him who rides through the deserts, Whose name is the Lord, and exult before Him.

5 A father of the fatherless and a judge for the widows, Is God in His holy habitation.

6 G od makes a home for the lonely; He leads out the prisoners into prosperity, Only the rebellious dwell in a parched land.

7 O God, when You went forth before Your people, When You marched through the wilderness, Selah.

8 T he earth quaked; The heavens also dropped rain at the presence of God; Sinai itself quaked at the presence of God, the God of Israel.

9 Y ou shed abroad a plentiful rain, O God; You confirmed Your inheritance when it was parched.

10 Y our creatures settled in it; You provided in Your goodness for the poor, O God.

11 T he Lord gives the command; The women who proclaim the good tidings are a great host:

12 “ Kings of armies flee, they flee, And she who remains at home will divide the spoil!”

13 W hen you lie down among the sheepfolds, You are like the wings of a dove covered with silver, And its pinions with glistening gold.

14 W hen the Almighty scattered the kings there, It was snowing in Zalmon.

15 A mountain of God is the mountain of Bashan; A mountain of many peaks is the mountain of Bashan.

16 W hy do you look with envy, O mountains with many peaks, At the mountain which God has desired for His abode? Surely the Lord will dwell there forever.

17 T he chariots of God are myriads, thousands upon thousands; The Lord is among them as at Sinai, in holiness.

18 Y ou have ascended on high, You have led captive Your captives; You have received gifts among men, Even among the rebellious also, that the Lord God may dwell there.

19 B lessed be the Lord, who daily bears our burden, The God who is our salvation. Selah.

20 G od is to us a God of deliverances; And to God the Lord belong escapes from death.

21 S urely God will shatter the head of His enemies, The hairy crown of him who goes on in his guilty deeds.

22 T he Lord said, “ I will bring them back from Bashan. I will bring them back from the depths of the sea;

23 T hat your foot may shatter them in blood, The tongue of your dogs may have its portion from your enemies.”

24 T hey have seen Your procession, O God, The procession of my God, my King, into the sanctuary.

25 T he singers went on, the musicians after them, In the midst of the maidens beating tambourines.

26 B less God in the congregations, Even the Lord, you who are of the fountain of Israel.

27 T here is Benjamin, the youngest, ruling them, The princes of Judah in their throng, The princes of Zebulun, the princes of Naphtali.

28 Y our God has commanded your strength; Show Yourself strong, O God, who have acted on our behalf.

29 B ecause of Your temple at Jerusalem Kings will bring gifts to You.

30 R ebuke the beasts in the reeds, The herd of bulls with the calves of the peoples, Trampling under foot the pieces of silver; He has scattered the peoples who delight in war.

31 E nvoys will come out of Egypt; Ethiopia will quickly stretch out her hands to God.

32 S ing to God, O kingdoms of the earth, Sing praises to the Lord, Selah.

33 T o Him who rides upon the highest heavens, which are from ancient times; Behold, He speaks forth with His voice, a mighty voice.

34 A scribe strength to God; His majesty is over Israel And His strength is in the skies.

35 O God, You are awesome from Your sanctuary. The God of Israel Himself gives strength and power to the people. Blessed be God!
