[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 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇; 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 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, 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 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 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 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 deliverances; and unto 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 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 fu 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 submittin 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.
