To the chief Musician, A Psalm or Songof David. Let Godarise, let his enemiesbe scattered: let them also that hatehim fleebeforehim. As smokeis driven away, so drive them away: as waxmeltethbeforethe fire, so let the wickedperishat the presenceof God. But let the righteousbe glad; let them rejoicebeforeGod: yea, let them exceedinglyrejoice. Singunto God, sing praisesto his name: extolhim that ridethupon the heavensby his nameJAH, and rejoicebeforehim. A fatherof the fatherless, and a judgeof the widows, is Godin his holyhabitation. Godsetteththe solitaryin families: he bringeth outthose which are boundwith chains: butthe rebelliousdwellin a dry land . O God, when thou wentest forthbeforethy people, when thou didst marchthrough the wilderness; Selah: The earthshook, the heavensalsodroppedat the presenceof God: even Sinaiitself was moved at the presenceof God, the Godof Israel. Thou, O God, didst senda plentifulrain, whereby thoudidst confirmthine inheritance, when it was weary. Thy congregationhath dwelttherein: thou, O God, hast preparedof thy goodnessfor the poor. The Lordgavethe word: great was the companyof those that published it . Kingsof armiesdid flee apace: and she that tarriedat homedividedthe spoil. Thoughye have lainamongthe pots, yet shall ye be as the wingsof a dovecoveredwith silver, and her featherswith yellowgold. When the Almightyscatteredkingsin it, it was white as snowin Salmon. The hillof God is as the hillof Bashan; a highhill as the hillof Bashan. Whyleapye, ye highhills? this is the hill which Goddesirethto dwellin; yea, the LORDwill dwell in it forever. The chariotsof God are twenty thousand, even thousandsof angels: the Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in the holy place . Thou hast ascendedon high, thou hast led captivity captive: thou hast receivedgiftsfor men; yea, for the rebelliousalso, that the LORDGodmight dwell among them . Blessed be the Lord, who dailyloadethus with benefits, even the Godof our salvation. Selah. He that is our God is the Godof salvation; and unto GODthe Lord belong the issuesfrom death. ButGodshall woundthe headof his enemies, and the hairyscalpof such a one as goeth on stillin his trespasses. The Lordsaid, I will bring againfrom Bashan, I will bring my people againfrom the depthsof the sea: Thatthy footmay be dippedin the bloodof thine enemies, and the tongueof thy dogsin the same. They have seenthy goings, O God; even the goingsof my God, my King, in the sanctuary. The singerswent before, the players on instruments followed after; among them were the damselsplaying with timbrels. Blessye Godin the congregations, even the Lord, from the fountainof Israel. There is littleBenjamin with their ruler, the princesof Judah and their council, the princesof Zebulun, and the princesof Naphtali. Thy Godhath commandedthy strength: strengthen, O God, that whichthou hast wroughtfor us. Because of thy templeatJerusalemshall kingsbringpresentsunto thee. Rebukethe companyof spearmen, the multitudeof the bulls, with the calvesof the people, till every one submit himselfwith piecesof silver: scatterthou the people that delightin war. Princesshall come outofEgypt; Ethiopiashall soon stretch outher handsunto God. Singunto God, ye kingdomsof the earth; O sing praisesunto the Lord; Selah: To him that ridethupon the heavensof heavens, which were of old; lo, he doth send outhis voice, and that a mightyvoice. Ascribeye strengthunto God: his excellency is overIsrael, and his strength is in the clouds. O God, thou art terribleout of thy holy places: the Godof Israel is hethat givethstrengthand powerunto his people. Blessed be God.
