9You gave abundant showers, O God;

you refreshed your weary inheritance.

10Your people settled in it,

and from your bounty, O God, you provided for the poor.

11The Lord announced the word,

and great was the company of those who proclaimed it:

12“Kings and armies flee in haste;

in the camps men divide the plunder.

13Even while you sleep among the campfires,^c

the wings of [my] dove are sheathed with silver,

its feathers with shining gold.”

14When the Almighty^d scattered the kings in the land,

it was like snow fallen on Zalmon.

15The mountains of Bashan are majestic mountains;

rugged are the mountains of Bashan.

16Why gaze in envy, O rugged mountains,

at the mountain where God chooses to reign,

where the Lord himself will dwell forever?

17The chariots of God are tens of thousands

and thousands of thousands;

the Lord [has come] from Sinai into his sanctuary.

18When you ascended on high,

you led captives in your train;

you received gifts from men,

even from^e the rebellious—

that you,^f O Lord God, might dwell there.

19Praise be to the Lord, to God our Savior,

who daily bears our burdens.       Selah

20Our God is a God who saves;

from the Sovereign Lord comes escape from death.

21Surely God will crush the heads of his enemies,

the hairy crowns of those who go on in their sins.

22The Lord says, “I will bring them from Bashan;

I will bring them from the depths of the sea,

23that you may plunge your feet in the blood of your foes,

while the tongues of your dogs have their share.”

24Your procession has come into view, O God,

the procession of my God and King into the sanctuary.

25In front are the singers, after them the musicians;

with them are the maidens playing tambourines.

26Praise God in the great congregation;

praise the Lord in the assembly of Israel.

27There is the little tribe of Benjamin, leading them,

there the great throng of Judah’s princes,

and there the princes of Zebulun and of Naphtali.

28Summon your power, O God^g;

show us your strength, O God, as you have done before.

29Because of your temple at Jerusalem

kings will bring you gifts.

30Rebuke the beast among the reeds,

the herd of bulls among the calves of the nations.

Humbled, may it bring bars of silver.

Scatter the nations who delight in war.

31Envoys will come from Egypt;

Cush^h will submit herself to God.

32Sing to God, O kingdoms of the earth,

sing praise to the Lord,       Selah

33to him who rides the ancient skies above,

who thunders with mighty voice.

34Proclaim the power of God,

whose majesty is over Israel,

whose power is in the skies.

35You are awesome, O God, in your sanctuary;

the God of Israel gives power and strength to his people.

Praise be to God!
