*For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. A song.*

## Text

[1] God arises. His enemies are scattered,
and those who hate Him flee His presence. [2] As smoke is blown away,
You will drive them out;
as wax melts before the fire,
the wicked will perish in the presence of God. [3] But the righteous will be glad
and rejoice before God;
they will celebrate with joy. [4] Sing to God!
Sing praises to His name.
Exalt Him who rides on the clouds —
His name is the LORD—
and rejoice before Him. [5] A father of the fatherless,
and a defender of the widows,
is God in His holy habitation. [6] God settles the lonely in families;
He leads the prisoners out to prosperity,
but the rebellious dwell in a sun-scorched land. [7] O God, when You went out before Your people,
when You marched through the wasteland,
Selah [8] the earth shook and the heavens poured down rain
before God, the One on Sinai,
before God, the God of Israel. [9] You sent abundant rain, O God;
You refreshed Your weary inheritance. [10] Your flock settled therein;
O God, from Your bounty You provided for the poor. [11] The Lord gives the command;
a great company of women proclaim it: [12] “Kings and their armies flee in haste;
she who waits at home divides the plunder. [13] Though you lie down among the sheepfolds,
the wings of the dove are covered with silver,
and her feathers with shimmering gold.” [14] When the Almighty scattered the kings in the land,
it was like the snow falling on Zalmon. [15] A mountain of God is Mount Bashan;
a mountain of many peaks is Mount Bashan. [16] Why do you gaze in envy, O mountains of many peaks?
This is the mountain God chose for His dwelling,
where the LORD will surely dwell forever. [17] The chariots of God are tens of thousands—
thousands of thousands are they;
the Lord is in His sanctuary
as He was at Sinai. [18] You have ascended on high;
You have led captives away.
You have received gifts from men,
even from the rebellious,
that the LORD God may dwell there. [19] Blessed be the Lord,
who daily bears our burden,
the God of our salvation.
Selah [20] Our God is a God of deliverance;
the Lord GOD is our rescuer from death. [21] Surely God will crush the heads of His enemies,
the hairy crowns of those who persist in guilty ways. [22] The Lord said, “I will retrieve them from Bashan,
I will bring them up from the depths of the sea, [23] that your foot may be dipped
in the blood of your foes—
the tongues of your dogs in the same.” [24] They have seen Your procession, O God—
the march of my God and King into the sanctuary. [25] The singers lead the way,
the musicians follow after,
among the maidens playing tambourines. [26] Bless God in the great congregation;
bless the LORD from the fountain of Israel. [27] There is Benjamin, the youngest, ruling them,
the princes of Judah in their company,
the princes of Zebulun and of Naphtali. [28] Summon Your power, O God;
show Your strength, O God,
which You have exerted on our behalf. [29] Because of Your temple at Jerusalem
kings will bring You gifts. [30] Rebuke the beast in the reeds,
the herd of bulls among the calves of the nations,
until it submits, bringing bars of silver.
Scatter the nations who delight in war. [31] Envoys will arrive from Egypt;
Cush will stretch out her hands to God. [32] Sing to God, O kingdoms of the earth;
sing praises to the Lord—
Selah [33] to Him who rides upon the highest heavens of old;
behold, His mighty voice resounds. [34] Ascribe the power to God,
whose majesty is over Israel,
whose strength is in the skies. [35] O God, You are awesome in Your sanctuary;
the God of Israel Himself
gives strength and power to His people.
Blessed be God!
