Psalm 68

God’s Daily Care

¹⁹ Blessed be the Lord.
Day by day he bears our burdens.
He is the God who saves us. Interlude

God’s Future Victories

²⁰ Our God is a God who saves.
From God the Lord comes escape from death.
²¹ Surely God will crush the heads of his enemies,
the scalps of those who walk around in their guilt.
²² The Lord says, “I will bring them from Bashan.
I will bring them from the depths of the sea,
²³ so that you may stomp your foot in blood.
The tongues of your dogs get their share of the enemies’ blood.”

God’s Procession Into the Temple

²⁴ They see your processions, O God,
the processions of my God, my King, into the sanctuary.
²⁵ The singers lead the way.
After them come the musicians.
In the middle are virgins playing hand drums.
²⁶ In the assemblies bless God, the Lord,
who is the Fountain of Israel. ^[1]
27 There is little Benjamin, leading them.
The officers of Judah are their noisy crowd.
There are the officers of Zebulun and the officers of Naphtali.

Prayer for Future Victory

²⁸ Your God commands your strength.
Show strength, O God, as you have done for us before.

God Rules the Nations

²⁹ Because of your temple at Jerusalem kings will bring tribute to you.
³⁰ Threaten the beast among the reeds,
the herd of strong bulls among the calves (that is, the peoples),
until they submit with bars of silver. ^[2]
He scatters the peoples who delight in battles.
³¹ Envoys ^[3] will come from Egypt.
Cush ^[4] will run to stretch out its hands to God.
³² Sing to God, you kingdoms of the earth. Interlude
Make music to the Lord,
³³ to him who rides in the highest heavens,
in the ancient heavens.
Yes, he sends out his voice, his mighty voice.
³⁴ Proclaim God’s strength.
His majesty is over Israel,
and his power is in the skies.

Closing Praise

³⁵ You are awesome, O God, from your sanctuary.
The God of Israel, he is the one
who gives power and strength to the people.
Blessed be God!
