| | 1 | For the director of music. Of David. A psalm. A song. May God arise, may his enemies be scattered; may his foes flee before him. | |
| | 2 | As smoke is blown away by the wind, may you blow them away; as wax melts before the fire, may the wicked perish before God. | |
| | 3 | But may the righteous be glad and rejoice before God; may they be happy and joyful. | |
| | 4 | Sing to God, sing praise to his name, extol him who rides on the clouds--his name is the LORD--and rejoice before him. | |
| | 5 | A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his holy dwelling. | |
| | 6 | God sets the lonely in families, he leads forth the prisoners with singing; but the rebellious live in a sun-scorched land. | |
| | 7 | When you went out before your people, O God, when you marched through the wasteland, Selah | |
| | 8 | the earth shook, the heavens poured down rain, before God, the One of Sinai, before God, the God of Israel. | |
| | 9 | You gave abundant showers, O God; you refreshed your weary inheritance. | |
| | 10 | Your people settled in it, and from your bounty, O God, you provided for the poor. | |
| | 11 | The Lord announced the word, and great was the company of those who proclaimed it: | |
| | 12 | "Kings and armies flee in haste; in the camps men divide the plunder. | |
| | 13 | Even while you sleep among the campfires, the wings of my dove are sheathed with silver, its feathers with shining gold." | |
| | 14 | When the Almighty scattered the kings in the land, it was like snow fallen on Zalmon. | |
| | 15 | The mountains of Bashan are majestic mountains; rugged are the mountains of Bashan. | |
| | 16 | Why gaze in envy, O rugged mountains, at the mountain where God chooses to reign, where the LORD himself will dwell forever? | |
| | 17 | The chariots of God are tens of thousands and thousands of thousands; the Lord has come from Sinai into his sanctuary. | |
| | 18 | When you ascended on high, you led captives in your train; you received gifts from men, even from the rebellious--that you, O LORD God, might dwell there. | |
| | 19 | Praise be to the Lord, to God our Savior, who daily bears our burdens. Selah | |
| | 20 | Our God is a God who saves; from the Sovereign LORD comes escape from death. | |
| | 21 | Surely God will crush the heads of his enemies, the hairy crowns of those who go on in their sins. | |
| | 22 | The Lord says, "I will bring them from Bashan; I will bring them from the depths of the sea, | |
| | 23 | that you may plunge your feet in the blood of your foes, while the tongues of your dogs have their share." | |
| | 24 | Your procession has come into view, O God, the procession of my God and King into the sanctuary. | |
| | 25 | In front are the singers, after them the musicians; with them are the maidens playing tambourines. | |
| | 26 | Praise God in the great congregation; praise the LORD in the assembly of Israel. | |
| | 27 | There is the little tribe of Benjamin, leading them, there the great throng of Judah's princes, and there the princes of Zebulun and of Naphtali. | |
| | 28 | Summon your power, O God; show us your strength, O God, as you have done before. | |
| | 29 | Because of your temple at Jerusalem kings will bring you gifts. | |
| | 30 | Rebuke the beast among the reeds, the herd of bulls among the calves of the nations. Humbled, may it bring bars of silver. Scatter the nations who delight in war. | |
| | 31 | Envoys will come from Egypt; Cush will submit herself to God. | |
| | 32 | Sing to God, O kingdoms of the earth, sing praise to the Lord, Selah | |
| | 33 | to him who rides the ancient skies above, who thunders with mighty voice. | |
| | 34 | Proclaim the power of God, whose majesty is over Israel, whose power is in the skies. | |
| | 35 | You are awesome, O God, in your sanctuary; the God of Israel gives power and strength to his people. Praise be to God! | |
