Psalms 68:11-31 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

11. The Lord gives the word. Great is the company of women who announce:

12. “The kings of armies flee, they flee, and she who remains at home divides the spoil.

13. Though you men lie down between the sheepfolds, you will be like the wings of a dove covered in silver and its pinions in yellow gold.”

14. When Shaddai scattered kings on it, on Zalmon it snowed.

15. A mountain of God is the mountain of Bashan; a mountain of many peaks is the mountain of Bashan.

16. Why do you look with hostility, O many-peaked mountains? This mountain God desires for his dwelling. Yes, Yahweh will abide in it forever.

17. The chariots of God are twice ten thousand, with thousands doubled. The Lord is among them at Sinai, distinctive in victory.

18. You have ascended on high; you have led away captives. You have received gifts from among humankind, and even from the rebellious, so that Yah God may dwell there.

19. Blessed be the Lord. Daily he loads us with benefits, the God of our salvation. Selah

20. Our God is a God of deliverances, and to the Yahweh the Lord belong escapes from death.

21. But God will shatter the head of his enemies, the hairy scalp of the one who continues on in his guilt.

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

23. so that your foot may shatter them bloody for the tongues of your dogs to have their share from the enemies.”

24. They have seen your processions, O God, the processions of my God, my king, distinctive in victory.

25. Singers went up front, those playing stringed instruments last, between them young women playing tambourines.

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

27. There is little Benjamin ruling them, with the princes of Judah in their throng, the princes of Zebulun and the princes of Naphtali.

28. Your God has commanded your strength. Show yourself strong, O God, by what you perform for us.

29. Because your temple is above Jerusalem, kings will bring tribute to you.

30. Rebuke the beasts in the reeds, the herd of bulls with the calves of the peoples, trampling the pieces of silver. Scatter the nations who delight in battles.

31. Ambassadors will come from Egypt; Cush will quickly stretch out her hands to God.
