Psalm 68

Praised be the Lord daily *

even the God who helpeth us, and poureth his benefits upon us.

He is our God, even the God of whom cometh salvation *

God is the Lord, by whom we escape death.

God shall wound the head of his enemies *

and the hairy scalp of such a one as goeth on still in his wickedness.

The Lord hath said, I will bring my people again, as I did from Basan *

mine own will I bring again, as I did sometime from the deep of the sea.

That thy foot may be dipped in the blood of thine enemies *

and that the tongue of thy dogs may be red through the same.

It is well seen, O God, how thou goest *

how thou, my God and King, goest in the sanctuary.

The singers go before, the minstrels follow after *

in the midst are the damsels playing with the timbrels.

Give thanks, O Israel, unto God the Lord in the congregations *

from the ground of the heart.

There is little Benjamin their ruler, and the princes of Judah their counsel *

the princes of Zabulon, and the princes of Nephthali.

Thy God hath sent forth strength for thee *

stablish the thing, O God, that thou hast wrought in us,

For thy temple’s sake at Jerusalem *

so shall kings bring presents unto thee.

When the company of the spear-men, and multitude of the mighty are scattered abroad among the beasts of the people, so that they humbly bring pieces of silver *

and when he hath scattered the people that delight in war;

Then shall the princes come out of Eqypt *

the Morians’ land shall soon stretch our her hands unto God.

Sing unto God, O ye kingdoms of the earth *

O sing praises unto the Lord;

Who sitteth in the heavens over all from the beginning *

lo, he doth send out his voice, yea, and that a mighty voice.

Ascribe ye the power to God over Israel *

his worship and strength is in the clouds.

O God, wonderful art thou in thy holy places *

even the God of Israel, he will give strength and power unto his people; blessed be God.
