• The God of Sinai and of the Sanctuary.

  • 1 May God arise, may His enemies be scattered, And may those who hate Him flee from His presence.
  • 2 As smoke is driven away, so drive them away; As wax melts before a fire, So the wicked will perish before God.
  • 3 But the righteous will be joyful; they will rejoice before God; Yes, they will rejoice with gladness.
  • 4 Sing to God, sing praises to His name; Exalt Him who rides through the deserts, Whose name is the Lord, and be jubilant before Him.
  • 5 A father of the fatherless and a judge for the widows, Is God in His holy dwelling.
  • 6 God makes a home for the lonely; He leads out the prisoners into prosperity, Only the rebellious live in parched lands.
  • 7 God, when You went forth before Your people, When You marched through the desert, Selah
  • 8 The earth quaked; The heavens also dropped rain at the presence of God; Sinai itself quaked at the presence of God, the God of Israel.
  • 9 You made plentiful rain fall, God; You confirmed Your inheritance when it was parched.
  • 10 Your creatures settled in it; In Your kindness You provided for the poor, God.
  • 11 The Lord gives the command; The women who proclaim good news are a great army:
  • 12 “Kings of armies flee, they flee, And she who remains at home will divide the spoils!”
  • 13 When you lie down among the sheepfolds, You are like the wings of a dove covered with silver, And its pinions with glistening gold.
  • 14 When the Almighty scattered the kings there, It was snowing in Zalmon.
  • 15 The mountain of Bashan is a mountain of God; The mountain of Bashan is a mountain of many peaks.
  • 16 Why do you look with envy, you mountains of many peaks, At the mountain God has desired as His dwelling? Indeed, the Lord will dwell there forever.
  • 17 The chariots of God are myriads, thousands upon thousands; The Lord is among them as at Sinai, in holiness.
  • 18 You have ascended on high, You have led captive Your captives; You have received gifts among people, Even among the rebellious as well, that the Lord God may dwell there.
  • 19 Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears our burden, The God who is our salvation. Selah
  • 20 God is to us a God of salvation; And to God the Lord belong ways of escape from death.
  • 21 God certainly will shatter the heads of His enemies, The hairy head of one who goes about in his guilt.
  • 22 The Lord said, “I will bring them back from Bashan. I will bring them back from the depths of the sea,
  • 23 So that your foot may shatter them in blood, And the tongue of your dogs may have its portion from your enemies.”
  • 24 They have seen Your procession, God, The procession of my God, my King, into the sanctuary.
  • 25 The singers went on, the musicians after them, In the midst of the young women beating tambourines.
  • 26 Bless God in the congregations, Even the Lord, you who are of the fountain of Israel.
  • 27 Benjamin, the youngest, is there, ruling them, The leaders of Judah in their company, The leaders of Zebulun, the leaders of Naphtali.
  • 28 Your God has commanded your strength; Show Yourself strong, God, You who acted in our behalf.
  • 29 Because of Your temple at Jerusalem Kings will bring gifts to You.
  • 30 Rebuke the animals in the reeds, The herd of bulls with the calves of the peoples, Trampling the pieces of silver; He has scattered the peoples who delight in war.
  • 31 Messengers will come from Egypt; Cush will quickly stretch out her hands to God.
  • 32 Sing to God, you kingdoms of the earth, Sing praises to the Lord, Selah
  • 33 To Him who rides upon the highest heavens, which are from ancient times; Behold, He speaks with His voice, a mighty voice.
  • 34 Ascribe strength to God; His majesty is over Israel, And His strength is in the skies.
  • 35 God, You are awesome from Your sanctuary. The God of Israel Himself gives strength and power to the people. Blessed be God!
