Triumphal Procession up to the Temple

Psalm 68

For the music director, a psalm of David, a song.
Let God arise!
Let His enemies be scattered!
Let those who hate Him flee before Him.
As smoke is blown away,
    may You blow them away.
As wax melts before the fire,
    may the wicked perish before God.
