The God of Sinai and of the Sanctuary.

^1 (F1)May ^(C1)God arise, ^(F2)may His enemies be scattered,
And ^(F3)may those who hate Him flee from His presence.

² As ^(C1)smoke is driven away, so drive them away;
As ^(C2)wax melts before a fire,
So the ^(C3)wicked will perish before God.

³ But the ^(C1)righteous will be joyful; they will rejoice before God;
Yes, they will rejoice with gladness.

⁴ Sing to God, ^(C1)sing praises to His name;
^(F1)(C2)Exalt Him who ^(C3)rides through the deserts,
Whose ^(C4)name is ^(F2)the LORD, and be jubilant before Him.

⁵ A ^(C1)father of the fatherless and a ^(C2)judge ^(F1)for the widows,
Is God in His ^(C3)holy dwelling.

⁶ God ^(F1)(C1)makes a home for the lonely;
He ^(C2)leads out the prisoners into prosperity,
Only ^(C3)the rebellious live in parched lands.

⁷ God, when You ^(C1)went forth before Your people,
When You ^(C2)marched through the desert, Selah

⁸ The ^(C1)earth quaked;
The ^(C2)heavens also dropped rain at the presence of God;
^(F1)(C3)Sinai itself quaked at the presence of God, the God of Israel.

⁹ You ^(C1)made plentiful rain fall, God;
You confirmed Your inheritance when it was ^(F1)parched.

¹⁰ Your creatures settled in it;
In Your kindness You ^(C1)provided for the poor, God.

¹¹ The Lord gives the ^(F1)command;
The ^(C1)women who proclaim good news are a great army:

¹² "^(C1)Kings of armies flee, they flee,
And she who remains at home will ^(C2)divide the spoils!"

^13 (F1)When you lie down ^(C1)among the sheepfolds,
You are like the wings of a dove covered with silver,
And its pinions with ^(F2)glistening gold.

¹⁴ When the Almighty ^(C1)scattered the kings ^(F1)there,
It was snowing in ^(C2)Zalmon.

^15 (C1)The mountain of Bashan is a ^(F1)mountain of God;
The mountain of Bashan is a mountain of many peaks.

¹⁶ Why do you look with envy, you mountains of many peaks,
At the mountain God has ^(C1)desired as His dwelling?
Indeed, ^(C2)the LORD will dwell there forever.

¹⁷ The ^(C1)chariots of God are ^(F1)myriads, ^(C2)thousands upon thousands;
^(F2)The Lord is among them as at Sinai, in holiness.

¹⁸ You have ^(C1)ascended on high, You have ^(C2)led captive Your captives;
You have received gifts among people,
Even among the rebellious as well, that ^(F1)the LORD God may dwell there.

¹⁹ Blessed be the Lord, who daily ^(C1)bears our burden,
^(C2)The God who is our salvation. Selah

²⁰ God is to us a ^(C1)God of salvation;
And ^(C2)to ^(F1)GOD the Lord belong ways of escape ^(F2)from death.

²¹ God certainly will ^(C1)shatter the heads of His enemies,
The hairy ^(F1)head of one who goes about in his guilt.

²² The Lord ^(F1)said, "^(C1)I will bring them back from Bashan.
I will bring them back from the depths of the sea,

²³ So that ^(F1)(C1)your foot may shatter them in blood,
And the tongue of your ^(C2)dogs may have its portion from your enemies."

²⁴ They have seen ^(C1)Your procession, God,
The procession of my God, my King, ^(F1)(C2)into the sanctuary.

²⁵ The ^(C1)singers went on, the musicians after them,
^(F1)In the midst of the ^(C2)young women beating tambourines.

^26 (C1)Bless God in the congregations,
Even the LORD, you who are of the ^(C2)fountain of Israel.

^27 (C1)Benjamin, the ^(F1)youngest, is there, ^(F2)ruling them,
The leaders of Judah in their company,
The leaders of ^(C2)Zebulun, the leaders of Naphtali.

^28 (F1)Your God has ^(C1)commanded your strength;
Show Yourself strong, God, You ^(C2)who acted ^(F2)in our behalf.

^29 (F1)Because of Your temple at Jerusalem
^(C1)Kings will bring gifts to You.

³⁰ Rebuke the ^(C1)animals ^(F1)in the reeds,
The herd of ^(C2)bulls with the calves of the peoples,
Trampling the pieces of silver;
He has ^(C3)scattered the peoples who delight in war.

^31 (F1)Messengers will come from ^(C1)Egypt;
^(F2)(C2)Cush will quickly stretch out her hands to God.

³² Sing to God, you ^(C1)kingdoms of the earth,
^(C2)Sing praises to the Lord, Selah

³³ To Him who ^(C1)rides upon the ^(F1)(C2)highest heavens, which are from ancient times;
Behold, ^(C3)He ^(F2)speaks with His voice, a ^(C4)mighty voice.

^34 (C1)Ascribe strength to God;
His majesty is over Israel,
And ^(C2)His strength is in the ^(F1)skies.

^35 (F1)God, You are ^(C1)awesome from Your ^(F2)sanctuary.
The God of Israel Himself ^(C2)gives strength and power to the people.
^(C3)Blessed be God!
