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; 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; 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; ⁸ O God, when Thou wentest forth before Thy people, when Thou didst march through the wilderness; Selah⁹ The earth trembled, the heavens also dropped at the presence of God; 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,

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, 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, ²⁰ Blessed be the Lord, day by day He beareth our burden, even the God who is our salvation. Selah²¹ God is unto us a God of deliverances; and unto GOD 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 full 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 us³⁰ 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 submitting himself with pieces of silver;

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; Selah³⁴ 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; {N}blessed be God.
