Only Version ❧ CM · 8·6·8·6
To the chief Musician, A Psalm or Song of David.
1 Let God arise, his enemies let them dispersed be, let them also that do him hate away from his face flee. 2 As smoke is driv’n away, ev’n so do thou them drive away: as wax at fire melts, in God’s sight let wicked so decay.
3 But let the righteous ones be glad: O let them joyful be before the Lord, also let them rejoice exceedingly. 4 Sing to God, to his name sing praise, extol him that doth ride on skies, by his name [[Jah]], before his face joyful abide.
5 A father of the fatherless, and of the widows’ case God is a judge, and that within his holy dwelling place. 6 God seats the desolate in house, brings forth those that are bound in chains, but the rebellious dwell in a barren ground.
7 O God, when as thou didst go forth in presence of thy folk, when through the desert wilderness thou diddest marching walk. Selah. 8 The earth did at God’s presence shake, from heav’ns the drops down fell: Sinai itself moved before the God of Israel.
9 O God, thou on thy heritage didst send a plent’ous rain, whereby when as it weary was thou it confirm’d again. 10 Thy congregation hath dwelt therein; thou dost prepare, O God, of thy goodness, for them that poor afflicted are.
11 The Lord the word gave, great their troop that it have published. 12 Kings of hosts fled, fled, she that stay’d at home spoil divided. 13 Though ye have lien among the pots, be like dove’s wings shall ye with silver deck’d, and her feathers like yellow gold that be.
14 When there th’ Almighty scatter’d kings, twas white as Salmon’s snow. 15 God’s hill like Bashan hill, high hill, like Bashan hill unto. 16 Why do ye leap ye lofty hills? this is the very hill in which God loves to dwell, the Lord dwell in it ever will.
17 God’s char’ots twice ten thousand fold, thousands of angels be; with them as in his holy place, on Sinai’s mount is he. 18 Thou didst ascend on high, thou led’st captivity captive, for men, yea, for rebels also thou diddest gifts receive;
that the Lord God might dwell with them. 19 Who daily doth us load with benefits, blest be the Lord that’s our salvation’s God. Selah. 20 He is God of salvation that is our God most strong; and unto Jehovah the Lord issues from death belong.
21 But God shall wound the en’mies’ head, the hairy scalp also of him that in his trespasses on forward still doth go. 22 The Lord said I’ll bring back again, again from Bashan hill: my people from the depths of seas bring back again I will.
23 That thy foot may be dipp’d within blood of thine enemies; imbru’d the tongue of thy dogs may be in the same likewise. 24 They have thy goings seen, O God, thy goings in progress; ev’n of my God my King within place of his holiness.
25 Singers went first, musicians then, in midst maids with timbrels. 26 Bless God i’th churches, the Lord from the spring of Israel. 27 There little Benjamin the chief with Judah’s lords, and their counsel, with Zebulun’s princes, and Naphtali’s lords were.
28 That valiant strength the which thou hast thy God hath commanded; strengthen, O God, the thing which thou for us hast effected. 29 For thy house at Jerusalem kings shall bring gifts to thee. 30 Rebuke the troops of spearmen, troops of bulls that mighty be:
with people’s calves, with him that stoops with pieces of silver: O scatter thou the people that delight themselves in war. 31 Princes shall out of Egypt come, and Eth’opia’s land shall speedily unto the Lord reach her outstretched hand.
32 Earth’s kingdoms sing ye unto God: unto the Lord sing praise. Selah. 33 To him that rides on heav’ns of heav’ns that were of ancient days: lo, he his voice, a strong voice gives. 34 To God ascribe ye might, his excellence o’er Isr’el is, and his strength in the height.
35 God fearful from his holy place the God of Isr’el, he gives strength and pow’r unto his folk, O let God blessed be.
