18. You have ascended on high.You have led away captives.You have received gifts amongst people,yes, amongst the rebellious also, that the Lord God might dwell there.
19. Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears our burdens,even the God who is our salvation. Selah.
20. God is to us a God of deliverance.To the Lord, the Lord, belongs escape from death.
21. But God will strike through the head of his enemies,the hairy scalp of such a one as still continues in his guiltiness.
22. The Lord said, “I will bring you again from Bashan,I will bring you again from the depths of the sea;
23. That you may crush them, dipping your foot in blood,that the tongues of your dogs may have their portion from your enemies.”
24. They have seen your processions, God,even the processions of my God, my King, into the sanctuary.
25. The singers went before, the minstrels followed after,amongst the ladies playing with tambourines,
26. “Bless God in the congregations,even the Lord in the assembly of Israel!”
27. There is little Benjamin, their ruler,the princes of Judah, their council,the princes of Zebulun, and the princes of Naphtali.
28. Your God has commanded your strength.Strengthen, God, that which you have done for us.
