Let them rejoice before God.
Yes, let them rejoice with gladness.
068:004 Sing to God! Sing praises to his name! Extol him who rides
on the clouds: to Yah, his name! Rejoice before him!
068:005 A father of the fatherless, and a defender of the widows,
is God in his holy habitation.
068:006 God sets the lonely in families. He brings out the prisoners
with singing, but the rebellious dwell in a sun-scorched land.
068:007 God, when you went forth before your people, when you marched
through the wilderness... Selah.
068:008 The earth trembled. The sky also poured down rain at
the presence of the God of Sinai--at the presence of God,
the God of Israel.
068:009 You, God, sent a plentiful rain. You confirmed your inheritance,
when it was weary.
068:010 Your congregation lived therein. You, God, prepared your
goodness for the poor.
068:011 The Lord announced the word. The ones who proclaim it are
a great company.
068:012 "Kings of armies flee! They flee!" She who waits at home
divides the spoil,
068:013 while you sleep among the campfires, the wings of a dove
sheathed with silver, her feathers with shining gold.
068:014 When the Almighty scattered kings in her, it snowed on Zalmon.
068:015 The mountains of Bashan are majestic mountains.
The mountains of Bashan are rugged.
068:016 Why do you look in envy, you rugged mountains, at the mountain
where God chooses to reign? Yes, Yahweh will dwell there forever.
068:017 The chariots of God are tens of thousands and thousands of thousands.
The Lord is among them, from Sinai, into the sanctuary.
068:018 You have ascended on high. You have led away captives.
You have received gifts among men, yes, among the rebellious also,
that Yah God might dwell there.
068:019 Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears our burdens, even the God
who is our salvation. Selah.
068:020 God is to us a God of deliverance. To Yahweh, the Lord,
belongs escape from death.
068:021 But God will strike through the head of his enemies, the hairy
scalp of such a one as still continues in his guiltiness.
068:022 The Lord said, "I will bring you again from Bashan, I will bring
you again from the depths of the sea;
068:023 That you may crush them, dipping your foot in blood,
that the tongues of your dogs may have their portion
from your enemies."
068:024 They have seen your processions, God, even the processions
of my God, my King, into the sanctuary.
068:025 The singers went before, the minstrels followed after,
in the midst of the ladies playing with tambourines,
068:026 "Bless God in the congregations, even the Lord in the
assembly of Israel!"
068:027 There is little Benjamin, their ruler, the princes of Judah,
their council, the princes of Zebulun, and the princes of Naphtali.
