15. What a mighty mountain is Bashan,a mountain of many peaks!
16. Why from your mighty peaks do you look with scornon the mountain on which God chose to live?The Lord will live there for ever!
17. With his many thousands of mighty chariotsthe Lord comes from Sinai into the holy place.
18. He goes up to the heights,taking many captives with him;he receives gifts from rebellious people.The Lord God will live there.
19. Praise the Lord,who carries our burdens day after day;he is the God who saves us.
20. Our God is a God who saves;he is the Lord, our Lord,who rescues us from death.
21. God will surely break the heads of his enemies,of those who persist in their sinful ways.
22. The Lord has said, “I will bring your enemies back from Bashan;I will bring them back from the depths of the ocean,
23. so that you may wade in their blood,and your dogs may lap up as much as they want.”
24. O God, your march of triumph is seen by all,the procession of God, my king, into his sanctuary.
25. The singers are in front, the musicians are behind,in between are the young women beating the tambourines.
26. “Praise God in the meeting of his people;praise the Lord, all you descendants of Jacob!”
27. First comes Benjamin, the smallest tribe,then the leaders of Judah with their group,followed by the leaders of Zebulun and Naphtali.
28. Show your power, O God,the power you have used on our behalf
29. from your Temple in Jerusalem,where kings bring gifts to you.
30. Rebuke Egypt, that wild animal in the reeds;rebuke the nations, that herd of bulls with their calves,until they all bow down and offer you their silver.Scatter those people who love to make war!
