Psalm 68:19-35
New International Version
Psalm 68:19-35
New International Version
19 Praise be to the Lord, to God our Savior,(A)
who daily bears our burdens.(B)
20 Our God is a God who saves;(C)
from the Sovereign Lord comes escape from death.(D)
21 Surely God will crush the heads(E) of his enemies,
the hairy crowns of those who go on in their sins.
22 The Lord says, “I will bring them from Bashan;
I will bring them from the depths of the sea,(F)
23 that your feet may wade in the blood of your foes,(G)
while the tongues of your dogs(H) have their share.”
24 Your procession, God, has come into view,
the procession of my God and King into the sanctuary.(I)
25 In front are the singers,(J) after them the musicians;(K)
with them are the young women playing the timbrels.(L)
26 Praise God in the great congregation;(M)
praise the Lord in the assembly of Israel.(N)
27 There is the little tribe(O) of Benjamin,(P) leading them,
there the great throng of Judah’s princes,
and there the princes of Zebulun and of Naphtali.(Q)
28 Summon your power,(R) God[a];
show us your strength,(S) our God, as you have done(T) before.
29 Because of your temple at Jerusalem
kings will bring you gifts.(U)
30 Rebuke the beast(V) among the reeds,(W)
the herd of bulls(X) among the calves of the nations.
Humbled, may the beast bring bars of silver.
Scatter the nations(Y) who delight in war.(Z)
31 Envoys will come from Egypt;(AA)
Cush[b](AB) will submit herself to God.
32 Sing to God, you kingdoms of the earth,(AC)
sing praise(AD) to the Lord,
33 to him who rides(AE) across the highest heavens, the ancient heavens,
who thunders(AF) with mighty voice.(AG)
34 Proclaim the power(AH) of God,
whose majesty(AI) is over Israel,
whose power is in the heavens.
35 You, God, are awesome(AJ) in your sanctuary;(AK)
the God of Israel gives power and strength(AL) to his people.(AM)
Praise be to God!(AN)

Psalm 68:19-35
King James Version
19 Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah.
20 He that is our God is the God of salvation; and unto God the Lord belong the issues from death.
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.
24 They have seen thy goings, O God; even the goings of my God, my King, in the sanctuary.
25 The singers went before, the players on instruments followed after; among them were the damsels playing with timbrels.
26 Bless ye God in the congregations, even the Lord, from the fountain of Israel.
27 There is little Benjamin with their ruler, the princes of Judah and their council, the princes of Zebulun, and the princes of Naphtali.
28 Thy God hath commanded thy strength: strengthen, O God, that which thou hast wrought for us.
29 Because of thy temple at Jerusalem shall kings bring presents unto thee.
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.
31 Princes shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall soon stretch out her hands unto God.
32 Sing unto God, ye kingdoms of the earth; O sing praises unto the Lord; Selah:
33 To him that rideth upon the heavens of heavens, which were of old; lo, he doth send out his voice, and that a mighty voice.
34 Ascribe ye strength unto God: his excellency is over Israel, and his strength is in the clouds.
35 O God, thou art terrible out of thy holy places: the God of Israel is he that giveth strength and power unto his people. Blessed be God.
