1  ^eGod shall arise, his enemies shall be ^fscattered;

and those who hate him shall flee before him!

2  As ^gsmoke is driven away, so you shall drive them away;

^has wax melts before fire,

so the wicked shall perish before God!

3  But ⁱthe righteous shall be glad;

they shall exult before God;

they shall be jubilant with joy!

4  Sing to God, ^jsing praises to his name;

^klift up a song to him who ^lrides through ^mthe deserts;

his name is ⁿthe Lord;

exult before him!

5  ^oFather of the fatherless and ^pprotector of widows

is God in his holy habitation.

6  God ^qsettles the solitary in a home;

he ^rleads out the prisoners to prosperity,

but ^sthe rebellious dwell in ^ta parched land.

7  O God, when you ^uwent out before your people,

^vwhen you marched through ^wthe wilderness, Selah

8  ^xthe earth quaked, the heavens poured down rain,

before God, the One of Sinai,

before God,¹ the God of Israel.

9  ^yRain in abundance, O God, you shed abroad;

you restored your inheritance as it languished;

10  your flock² found a dwelling in it;

in your goodness, O God, you ^zprovided for the needy.

11  The Lord gives ^athe word;

^bthe women who announce the news are a great host:

12  ^c“The kings of the armies—they flee, they flee!”

The women at home ^ddivide the spoil—

13  though you men lie among ^ethe sheepfolds—

the wings of a dove covered with silver,

its pinions with shimmering gold.

14  When the Almighty scatters kings there,

let snow fall on ^fZalmon.

15  O mountain of God, mountain of Bashan;

O many-peaked³ mountain, mountain of Bashan!

16  Why do you look with hatred, O many-peaked mountain,

at the mount that God ^gdesired for his abode,

yes, where the Lord will dwell forever?

17  ^hThe chariots of God are twice ten thousand,

thousands upon thousands;

the Lord is among them; Sinai is now in the sanctuary.

18  ⁱYou ascended on high,

^jleading a host of captives in your train

and ^kreceiving gifts among men,

even among ^lthe rebellious, ^mthat the Lord God may dwell there.

19  Blessed be the Lord,

who daily ⁿbears us up;

God is our salvation. Selah

20  Our God is a God of salvation,

^oand to God, the Lord, belong deliverances from death.

21  ^pBut God will strike the heads of his enemies,

the hairy crown of him who walks in his guilty ways.

22  The Lord said,

“I will bring them back ^qfrom Bashan,

^rI will bring them back from the depths of the sea,

23  that you may ^sstrike your feet in their blood,

that ^tthe tongues of your dogs may have their portion from the foe.”

24  Your procession is⁴ seen, O God,

the procession of my God, my King, into the sanctuary—

25  ^uthe singers in front, ^vthe musicians last,

between them ^wvirgins playing tambourines:

26  ^x“Bless God in the great congregation,

the Lord, O you⁵ who are of ^yIsrael’s fountain!”

27  There is ^zBenjamin, the least of them, in the lead,

the princes of Judah in their throng,

the princes of ^aZebulun, the princes of Naphtali.

28  ^bSummon your power, O God,⁶

the power, O God, by which you have worked for us.

29  Because of your temple at Jerusalem

kings shall ^cbear gifts to you.

30  Rebuke ^dthe beasts that dwell among the reeds,

the herd of ^ebulls with the calves of the peoples.

^fTrample underfoot those who lust after tribute;

scatter the peoples who delight in war.⁷

31  Nobles shall come from ^gEgypt;

^hCush shall hasten to ⁱstretch out her hands to God.

32  ^jO kingdoms of the earth, sing to God;

sing praises to the Lord, Selah

33  to him ^kwho rides in ^lthe heavens, the ancient heavens;

behold, he ^msends out his voice, his mighty voice.

34  ⁿAscribe power to God,

whose majesty is over Israel,

and whose ^opower is in ^pthe skies.

35  ^qAwesome is God from his^{8 r}sanctuary;

the God of Israel—he is the one who gives ^spower and strength to his people.

Blessed be God!
