Psalms 68:17-34 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

17. With his millions of chariots, the Lord came from Sinai into the holy place.

18. You went up to your high place, leading a parade of captives. You received gifts from people, even those who turned against you. The Lord God went up there to live.

19. Praise the Lord! Every day he helps us with the loads we must carry. He is the God who saves us. Selah

20. He is our God, the God who saves us. My Lord GOD saves us from death.

21. God will smash the heads of his enemies. He will punish those who fight against him.

22. My Lord said, “If they run up to Bashan or down to the depths of the sea, I will bring them back.

23. So you will march through pools of their blood, and there will be plenty left for your dogs.”

24. God, everyone can see your victory parade— the victory march of my God and King into his holy place!

25. Singers come marching in front, followed by the musicians; they are surrounded by young girls playing tambourines.

26. Praise God in the meeting place. Praise the Lord, people of Israel!

27. There is the smallest tribe, Benjamin, leading them. And there comes a large group of leaders from Judah. Following them are the leaders of Zebulun and Naphtali.

28. God, show us your power! Show us the power you used for us in the past.

29. Kings will bring their wealth to you, to your Temple in Jerusalem.

30. Punish the people in Egypt. They are like cattle in the marshes, like bulls among the calves. You humiliated them. You scattered them in war. Now let them come crawling to you, bringing their pieces of silver.

31. Messengers from Egypt will come bearing gifts. Ethiopia will offer God their tribute.

32. Kings on earth, sing to God! Sing songs of praise to our Lord! Selah

33. Sing to him who rides his chariot through the ancient skies. Listen to his powerful voice!

34. Tell everyone how powerful he is! He rules over Israel. His power fills the skies.
