Psalm 68:21-35.
Psalm 68.21-35
"Our Lord and our God, your terrible enemies are ready for war, but
you will crush their skulls. You promised to bring them from Bashan
and from the deepest sea. Then we could stomp on their blood, and our
dogs could chew on their bones.
We have seen crowds marching to your place of worship, our God and
King. The singers come first, and then the musicians, surrounded by
young women playing tambourines. They come shouting, "People of
Israel, praise the Lord God!" The small tribe of Benjamin leads the
way, followed by the leaders from Judah. Then come the leaders from
Zebulun and Naphtali.
Our God, show your strength! Show us once again. Then kings will bring
gifts to your temple in Jerusalem.
Punish that animal that lives in the swamp! Punish that nation whose
leaders and people are like wild bulls. Make them come crawling with
gifts of silver. Scatter those nations that enjoy making war. Force
the Egyptians to bring gifts of bronze; make the Ethiopians hurry to
offer presents.
Now sing praises to God! Every kingdom on earth, sing to the Lord!
Praise the one who rides across the ancient skies; listen as he speaks
with a mighty voice.
Tell about God's power! He is honored in Israel, and he rules the
skies. The God of Israel is fearsome in his temple, and he makes us
strong. Let's praise our God!"
God bless you.
