68
To the chief Musician, A Psalm
or Song of David.
2 As smoke is driven away,
so drive
them away: as wax melteth before the fire,
so let the wicked perish at the presence of God.
4 Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth upon the heavens by his name JAH, and
rejoice before him.
6 God setteth the solitary in families: he bringeth out those which are bound with chains: but the rebellious
dwell in a dry
land.
7 O God, when thou wentest forth before thy people, when thou didst march through the wilderness; Selah:
8 The earth shook, the heavens also dropped at the presence of God:
even Sinai itself
was moved at the presence of God, the God of Israel.
9 Thou, O God, didst send a plentiful rain, whereby thou didst confirm thine inheritance, when it was weary.
13 Though ye have lien among the pots,
yet shall ye be as the wings of a dove covered with silver, and her feathers with yellow gold.
16 Why leap ye, ye high hills?
this is the hill
which
God desireth to dwell in; yea, the LORD will dwell
in it
for ever.
17 The chariots of God
are twenty thousand,
even thousands of angels: the Lord
is among them,
as in Sinai, in the holy
place.
18 Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive: thou hast received gifts for men; yea,
for the rebellious also, that the LORD God might dwell
among them.
21 But God shall wound the head of his enemies,
and the hairy scalp of such an one as goeth on still in his trespasses.
22 The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will bring
my people again from the depths of the sea:
23 That thy foot may be dipped in the blood of
thine enemies,
and the tongue of thy dogs in the same.
25 The singers went before, the players on instruments
followed
after; among
them were the damsels playing with timbrels.
27 There
is little Benjamin
with their ruler, the princes of Judah
and their council, the princes of Zebulun,
and the princes of Naphtali.
30 Rebuke the company of spearmen, the multitude of the bulls, with the calves of the people,
till every one submit himself with pieces of silver: scatter thou the people
that delight in war.
