⁰To the choirmaster. Of David. A psalm. A song.

¹May God arise, may his enemies be scattered, and may those who hate him flee from his face.

²As smoke is driven away, drive them away; as wax melts from the face of fire, may the wicked perish from the face of God.

³And may the righteous be glad; may they exult before the face of God, and rejoice with gladness.

⁴Sing to God, make music to his name; cast up a road for the rider through the desert plains; Yah is his name; and exult before his face.

⁵A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God in his holy dwelling place.

⁶God makes the solitary dwell in a house; he brings out prisoners into prosperity; but the stubborn dwell in a parched land.

⁷God, when you went out before the face of your people, when you marched through the wasteland. Selah

⁸the land shook, even the skies dripped from the face of God; this Sinai, from the face of God, the God of Israel.

⁹A rain of freewill gifts you shed abroad, God; your inheritance, when it was weary, you yourself established.

¹⁰Your living ones dwelled in it; in your goodness, you prepared for the poor, God.

¹¹The Lord gives a word; the women who bear news are a great host.

¹²Kings of armies flee, they flee; and she who dwells at home divides the plunder.

¹³If you lie down between the stalls, the wings of a dove are covered with silver, and her pinions with greenish gold.

¹⁴When the Almighty scatters kings in it, it snows on Zalmon.

¹⁵The mountain of God is the mountain of Bashan; a mountain of peaks is the mountain of Bashan.

¹⁶Why do you look askance, mountains of peaks, at the mountain that God desired to dwell in? Indeed, Yahweh will dwell there forever.

¹⁷The chariotry of God is twice ten thousand, thousands upon thousands; the Lord is among them, Sinai is in the holy place.

¹⁸You went up to the height, you took captives, you took gifts among mankind, and even the stubborn, that Yah God may dwell.

¹⁹Blessed be the Lord; day by day, he carries the load for us; the God is our deliverance. Selah

²⁰God is for us a God of saving acts; and to Yahweh the Lord belong the escapes from death.

²¹Surely God will shatter the head of his enemies, the hairy crown of the one who goes about in his guilt.

²²The Lord said, I will bring them back from Bashan; I will bring them back from the depths of the sea.

²³so that your foot may shatter in blood, and the tongue of your dogs have its share from the enemies.

²⁴They have seen your processions, God, the processions of my God, my king, in the holy place.

²⁵The singers went in front, the players after, in the midst of young women beating tambourines.

²⁶Bless God in the assemblies, Yahweh, you who are from the fountain of Israel.

²⁷There is little Benjamin ruling them, the officials of Judah, their throng, the officials of Zebulun, the officials of Naphtali.

²⁸Your God has commanded your strength; prevail, God, you who have done this for us.

²⁹From your temple over Jerusalem, to you the kings will bring tribute.

³⁰Rebuke the beast of the reeds, the assembly of the mighty among the calves of the peoples, trampling bars of silver; he has scattered the peoples who delight in battles.

³¹Nobles will come from Egypt; Cush will make its hands run to God.

³²Kingdoms of the land, sing to God; sing praises to the Lord. Selah.

³³To the one who rides in the skies, the skies of old; look, he gives his voice, a voice of strength.

³⁴Give strength to God; his majesty is over Israel, and his strength is in the clouds.

³⁵God is to be feared from your sanctuaries, the God of Israel; he gives strength and might to the people. Blessed be God.
