NASB Bible

Psalms 68

For the choir director. A Psalm of David. A Song.

1

 1Let  aGod arise,  2let His enemies be scattered, And  3let those who hate Him flee before Him.

2

As  asmoke is driven away, so drive them away; As  bwax melts before the fire, So let the  cwicked perish before God.

3

But let the  arighteous be glad; let them exult before God; Yes, let them rejoice with gladness.

4

Sing to God,  asing praises to His name;  1 bLift up a song for Him who  crides through the deserts, Whose  dname is  2the LORD, and exult before Him.

5

A  afather of the fatherless and a  bjudge  1for the widows, Is God in His  choly habitation.

6

God  1 amakes a home for the lonely; He  bleads out the prisoners into prosperity, Only  cthe rebellious dwell in a parched land.

7

O God, when You  awent forth before Your people, When You  bmarched through the wilderness,  1Selah.

8

The  aearth quaked; The  bheavens also dropped rain at the presence of God;  1 cSinai itself quaked at the presence of God, the God of Israel.

9

You  ashed abroad a plentiful rain, O God; You confirmed Your inheritance when it was  1parched.

10

Your creatures settled in it; You  aprovided in Your goodness for the poor, O God.

11

The Lord gives the  1command; The  awomen who proclaim the good tidings are a great host:

12

aKings of armies flee, they flee, And she who remains at home will  bdivide the spoil!"

13

 1When you lie down  aamong the  2sheepfolds, You are like the wings of a dove covered with silver, And its pinions with glistening gold.

14

When the Almighty  ascattered the kings  1there, It was snowing in  bZalmon.

15

A  1 amountain of God is the mountain of Bashan; A mountain of many peaks is the mountain of Bashan.

16

Why do you look with envy, O mountains with many peaks, At the mountain which God has  adesired for His abode? Surely  bthe LORD will dwell there forever.

17

The  achariots of God are  1myriads,  bthousands upon thousands;  2The Lord is among them as at Sinai, in holiness.

18

You have  aascended on high, You have  bled captive Your captives; You have received gifts among men, Even among the rebellious also, that  1the LORD God may dwell there.

19

Blessed be the Lord, who daily  abears our burden,  bThe God who is our salvation. Selah.

20

God is to us a  aGod of deliverances; And  bto  1GOD the Lord belong escapes  2from death.

21

Surely God will  ashatter the head of His enemies, The hairy crown of him who goes on in his guilty deeds.

22

The Lord  1said, " aI will bring them back from Bashan. I will bring them back from the depths of the sea;

23

That  1 ayour foot may shatter them in blood, The tongue of your  bdogs may have its portion from your enemies."

24

They have seen  aYour  1procession, O God, The  1procession of my God, my King,  2 binto the sanctuary.

25

The  asingers went on, the musicians after them,  1In the midst of the  bmaidens beating tambourines.

26

 aBless God in the congregations, Even the LORD, you who are of the  bfountain of Israel.

27

There is  aBenjamin, the  1youngest,  2ruling them, The princes of Judah in their throng, The princes of  bZebulun, the princes of Naphtali.

28

 1Your God has  acommanded your strength; Show Yourself strong, O God,  bwho have acted  2on our behalf.

29

 1Because of Your temple at Jerusalem  aKings will bring gifts to You.

30

Rebuke the  abeasts  1in the reeds, The herd of  bbulls with the calves of the peoples, Trampling under foot the pieces of silver; He has  cscattered the peoples who delight in war.

31

Envoys will come out of  aEgypt;  1 bEthiopia will quickly stretch out her hands to God.

32

Sing to God, O  akingdoms of the earth,  bSing praises to the Lord, Selah.

33

To Him who  arides upon the  1 bhighest heavens, which are from ancient times; Behold,  cHe  2speaks forth with His voice, a  dmighty voice.

34

 aAscribe strength to God; His majesty is over Israel And  bHis strength is in the  1skies.

35

 1O God, You are  aawesome from Your  2sanctuary. The God of Israel Himself  bgives strength and power to the people.  cBlessed be God!
