New Testament

Psalm 68:23-35 Amplified Bible (AMP)

23. That you may crush them, dipping your foot in blood, that the tongues of your dogs may have their share from the foe.

24. They see Your goings, O God, even the [solemn processions] of my God, my King, into the sanctuary [in holiness].

25. The singers go in front, the players on instruments last; between them the maidens are playing on tambourines.

26. Bless, give thanks, and gratefully praise God in full congregations, even the Lord, O you who are from [Jacob] the fountain of Israel.

27. There is little Benjamin in the lead [in the procession], the princes of Judah and their company, the princes of Zebulun, and the princes of Naphtali.

28. Your God has commanded your strength [your might in His service and impenetrable hardness to temptation]; O God, display Your might and strengthen what You have wrought for us!

29. [Out of respect] for Your temple at Jerusalem kings shall bring gifts to You.

30. Rebuke the wild beasts dwelling among the reeds [in Egypt], the herd of bulls (the leaders) with the calves of the peoples; trample underfoot those who lust for tribute money; scatter the peoples who delight in war.

31. Princes shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall hasten to stretch out her hands [with the offerings of submission] to God.

32. Sing to God, O kingdoms of the earth, sing praises to the Lord! Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]!

33. [Sing praises] to Him Who rides upon the heavens, the ancient heavens; behold, He sends forth His voice, His mighty voice.

34. Ascribe power and strength to God; His majesty is over Israel, and His strength and might are in the skies.

35. O God, awe-inspiring, profoundly impressive, and terrible are You out of Your holy places; the God of Israel Himself gives strength and fullness of might to His people. Blessed be God!
