[1]Let God arise, and let his enemies be scattered; and let them that hate him flee from before him.
[2]As smoke vanishes, let them vanish: as wax melts before the fire, so let the sinners perish from before God.
[3]But let the righteous rejoice; let them exult before God: let them be delighted with joy.
[4]Sing to God, sing praises to his name: make a way for him that rides upon the west (the Lord is his name) and exult before him. They shall be troubled before the face of him,
[5]who is the father of the orphans, and judge of the widows: such is God in his holy place.
[6]God settles the solitary in a house; leading forth prisoners mightily, also them that act provokingly, even them that dwell in tombs.
[7]O God, when thou wentest forth before thy people, when thou wentest through the wilderness; Pause:
[8]the earth quaked, yea, the heavens dropped water at the presence of the God of Sina, at the presence of the God of Israel.
[9]O God, thou wilt grant to thine inheritance a gracious rain; for it was weary, but thou didst refresh it.
[10]Thy creatures dwell in it: thou hast in thy goodness prepared for the poor.
[11]The Lord God will give a word to them that preach it in a great company.
[12]The king of the forces of the beloved, of the beloved, will even grant them for the beauty of the house to divide the spoils.
[13]Even if ye should lie among the lots, ye shall have the wings of a dove covered with silver, and her breast with yellow gold.
[14]When the heavenly One scatters kings upon it, they shall be made snow-white in Selmon.
[15]The mountain of God is a rich mountain; a swelling mountain, a rich mountain.
[16]Wherefore do ye conceive evil, ye swelling mountains? this is the mountain which God has delighted to dwell in; yea, the Lord will dwell in it for ever.
[17]The chariots of God are ten thousand fold, thousands of rejoicing ones: the Lord is among them, in Sina, in the holy place.
[18]Thou art gone up on high, thou hast led captivity captive, thou hast received gifts for man, yea, for they were rebellious, that thou mightest dwell among them.
[19]Blessed be the Lord God, blessed be the Lord daily; and the God of our salvation shall prosper us. Pause.
[20]Our God is the God of salvation; and to the Lord belong the issues from death.
[21]But God shall crust the heads of his enemies; the hairy crown of them that go on in their trespasses.
[22]The Lord said, I will bring again from Basan, I will bring my people again through the depths of the sea.
[23]That thy foot may be dipped in blood, and the tongue of thy dogs be stained with that of thine enemies.
[24]Thy goings, O God, have been seen; the goings of my God, the king, in the sanctuary.
[25]The princes went first, next before the players on instruments, in the midst of damsels playing on timbrels.
[26]Praise God in the congregations, the Lord from the fountains of Israel.
[27]There is Benjamin the younger one in ecstasy, the princes of Juda their rulers, the princes of Zabulon, the princes of Nephthali.
[28]O God, command thou thy strength: strengthen, O God, this which thou hast wrought in us.
[29]Because of thy temple at Jerusalem shall kings bring presents to thee.
[30]Rebuke the wild beasts of the reed: let the crowd of bulls with the heifers of the nations be rebuked, so that they who have been proved with silver may not be shut out: scatter thou the nations that wish for wars.
[31]Ambassadors shall arrive out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall hasten to stretch out her hand readily to God.
[32]Sing to God, ye kingdoms of the earth; sing psalms to the Lord. Pause.
[33]Sing to God that rides on the heaven of heaven, eastward: lo, he will utter a mighty sound with his voice.
[34]Give ye glory to God: his excellency is over Israel, and his power is in the clouds.
[35]God is wonderful in his holy places, the God of Israel: he will give power and strength to his people: blessed be God.
