¶ To the chief Musician, A Psalm or Song of David. Let God arise², let his enemies be scattered³: let them also that hate⁴ him flee before him⁵.

As smoke⁶ is driven away, so drive them away: as wax⁷ melteth before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God.

But⁹ let the righteous be glad; let them rejoice¹⁰ before God: yea, let them exceedingly rejoice¹¹.

Sing unto God¹², sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth¹³ upon the heavens by his name¹⁴ JAH¹⁵, and rejoice before him.

A father¹⁶ of the fatherless, and a judge¹⁷ of the widows, is God in his¹⁸ holy habitation.

God¹⁹ setteth the solitary in families²⁰: he bringeth out those which are bound with chains: but the rebellious²¹ dwell in a dry land.

¶ O God²², when thou wentest forth before thy people, when thou didst²³ march through the wilderness; Selah:

The earth²⁴ shook, the heavens²⁵ also dropped at the presence of God: even Sinai²⁶ itself was moved at the presence of God, the God²⁷ of Israel.

Thou, O God, didst²⁸ send²⁹ a plentiful rain, whereby thou didst confirm thine inheritance, when it was weary.

¶ Thy congregation³⁰ hath dwelt therein: thou,³¹ O God, hast prepared of thy goodness for the poor.

The Lord³² gave the word: great was the company³³ of those that published it.

Kings³⁴ of armies did flee apace³⁵: and she that tarried at home divided the spoil.

Though³⁶ ye have³⁷ lien among the pots, yet shall ye be as the wings³⁸ of a dove covered with silver, and her feathers with yellow gold.

When³⁹ the Almighty scattered kings in it, it was⁴⁰ white as snow⁴¹ in Salmon.

¶ The hill of God⁴² is as the hill of Bashan⁴³; an high hill as the hill of Bashan.

Why⁴⁴ leap ye, ye high hills? this is the hill⁴⁵ which God desireth to dwell in; yea, the LORD will dwell in it for ever.

The chariots⁴⁶ of God are twenty thousand, even thousands⁴⁷ of angels: the Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in the holy place.

Thou hast ascended⁴⁸ on high, thou hast led⁴⁹ captivity captive: thou hast received⁵⁰ gifts for men⁵¹; yea, for the rebellious⁵² also, that⁵³ the LORD God might dwell among them.

Blessed⁵⁴ be the Lord, who daily⁵⁵ loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah.

¶ He that is our God⁵⁶ is the God of salvation; and unto⁵⁷ GOD the Lord belong the issues⁵⁸ from death.

But God⁵⁹ shall wound the head of his enemies, and the hairy⁶⁰ scalp of such⁶¹ an one as goeth on still in his trespasses.

¶ The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan⁶², I will bring my people again from the depths⁶³ of the sea:

That⁶⁴ thy foot may be dipped⁶⁵ in the blood of thine enemies, and the tongue⁶⁶ of thy dogs in the same.

They have seen thy goings, O God; even⁶⁷ the goings of my God, my King, in the sanctuary.

The singers went before, the players⁶⁸ on instruments followed after; among⁶⁹ them were the damsels playing with timbrels.

Bless⁷⁰ ye God in the congregations, even the Lord, from the fountain⁷¹ of Israel.

There is little⁷² Benjamin with their ruler, the princes⁷³ of Judah and their council⁷⁴, the princes of Zebulun, and the princes of Naphtali.

Thy God hath commanded⁷⁵ thy strength: strengthen⁷⁶, O God, that which thou hast wrought for us.

Because⁷⁷ of thy temple at Jerusalem shall⁷⁸ kings bring presents unto thee.

¶ Rebuke⁷⁹ the company of spearmen⁸⁰, the multitude⁸¹ of the bulls, with the calves of the people, till every⁸² one submit himself with pieces of silver: scatter thou⁸³ the people that delight⁸⁴ in war.

Princes⁸⁵ shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia⁸⁶ shall soon stretch⁸⁷ out her hands unto God.

¶ Sing unto God, ye kingdoms⁸⁸ of the earth; O sing praises unto the Lord; Selah:

To him that rideth⁸⁹ upon the heavens of heavens, which were of old⁹⁰; lo, he doth send out⁹¹ his voice, and that a mighty voice.

Ascribe⁹² ye strength unto God: his excellency⁹³ is over Israel, and his strength⁹⁴ is in the clouds⁹⁵.

O God, thou art terrible⁹⁶ out of thy holy places: the God of Israel is he that giveth⁹⁷ strength and power unto his people. Blessed⁹⁸ be God.
