New Testament

Psalms 68:11-24 New English Translation (NET)

11. The Lord speaks;many, many women spread the good news.

12. Kings leading armies run away – they run away!The lovely lady of the house divides up the loot.

13. When you lie down among the sheepfolds,the wings of the dove are covered with silverand with glittering gold.

14. When the sovereign judge scatters kings,let it snow on Zalmon!

15. The mountain of Bashan is a towering mountain;the mountain of Bashan is a mountain with many peaks.

16. Why do you look with envy, O mountains with many peaks,at the mountain where God has decided to live?Indeed the Lord will live there permanently!

17. God has countless chariots;they number in the thousands.The Lord comes from Sinai in holy splendor.

18. You ascend on high,you have taken many captives.You receive tribute from men,including even sinful rebels.Indeed the Lord God lives there!

19. The Lord deserves praise!Day after day he carries our burden,the God who delivers us. (Selah)

20. Our God is a God who delivers;the Lord, the sovereign Lord, can rescue from death.

21. Indeed God strikes the heads of his enemies,the hairy foreheads of those who persist in rebellion.

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

23. so that your feet may stomp in their blood,and your dogs may eat their portion of the enemies’ corpses.”

24. They see your processions, O God – the processions of my God, my king, who marches along in holy splendor.
