11Let 2GodH430 ariseH6965, 3let His enemiesH340 be scatteredH6327, And 4let those who hateH8130 Him fleeH5127 beforeH4480H6440 Him.2As 5smokeH6227 is drivenH5086 awayH5086, so driveH5086 them awayH5086; As 6waxH1749 meltsH4549 beforeH4480H6440 the fireH784, So let the 7wickedH7563 perishH6 beforeH4480H6440 GodH430.3But let the 8righteousH6662 be gladH8055; let them exultH5970 beforeH6440 GodH430; Yes, let them rejoiceH7797 with gladnessH8057.4SingH7891 to GodH430, 9singH2167 praisesH2167 to His nameH8034; 1011LiftH5549 up a song for Him who 12ridesH7392 through the desertsH6160, Whose 13nameH8034 is 14the LordH3050, and exultH5937 beforeH6440 Him.

5A 15fatherH1 of the fatherlessH3490 and a 16judgeH1781 17for the widowsH490, Is GodH430 in His 18holyH6944 habitationH4583.6GodH430 1920makesH3427 a homeH1004 for the lonelyH3173; He 21leadsH3318 out the prisonersH615 into prosperityH3574, OnlyH389 22the rebelliousH5637 dwellH7931 in a parchedH6707 landH6707.

7O GodH430, when You 23wentH3318 forthH3318 beforeH6440 Your peopleH5971, When You 24marchedH6805 through the wildernessH3452, 25SelahH5542.8The 26earthH776 quakedH7493; The 27heavensH8064 alsoH637 droppedH5197 rain at the presenceH6440 of GodH430; 2829SinaiH5514 itselfH2088 quaked at the presenceH6440 of GodH430, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478.9You 30shedH5130 abroadH5130 a plentifulH5071 rainH1653, O GodH430; You confirmedH3559 Your inheritanceH5159 when it was 31parchedH3811.10Your creaturesH2421 settledH3427 in it; You 32providedH3559 in Your goodnessH2899 for the poorH6041, O GodH430.

11The LordH136 givesH5414 the 33commandH561; The 34women who proclaimH1319 the good tidingsH1319 are a greatH7227 hostH6635:12“35KingsH4428 of armiesH6635 fleeH5074, they fleeH5074, And she whoH5116 remainsH5116 at homeH1004 will 36divideH2505 the spoilH7998!”1337WhenH518 you lieH7901 downH7901 38amongH996 the 39sheepfoldsH8240, You are like the wingsH3671 of a doveH3123 coveredH2645 with silverH3701, And its pinionsH84 with glisteningH3422 goldH2742.14When the AlmightyH7706 40scatteredH6566 the kingsH4428 41there, It was snowingH7949 in 42ZalmonH6756.

15A 4344mountainH2022 of GodH430 is the mountainH2022 of BashanH1316; A mountainH2022 of many peaksH1386 is the mountainH2022 of BashanH1316.16WhyH4100 do you lookH7520 with envyH7520, O mountainsH2022 with many peaksH1386, At the mountainH2022 which GodH430 has 45desiredH2530 for His abodeH3427? SurelyH637 46the LordH3068 will dwellH7931 there foreverH5331.17The 47chariotsH7393 of GodH430 are 48myriadsH7239, 49thousandsH8136 upon thousandsH505; 50The LordH136 is among them as at SinaiH5514, in holinessH6944.18You have 51ascendedH5927 on highH4791, You have 52ledH7617 captiveH7617 Your captivesH7628; You have receivedH3947 giftsH4979 among menH120, Even among the rebelliousH5637 alsoH637, that 53the LordH3050 GodH430 may dwellH7931 there.

19BlessedH1288 be the LordH136, who dailyH3117 54bearsH6006 our burdenH6006, 55The GodH410 who is our salvationH3444. SelahH5542.20GodH410 is to us a 56GodH410 of deliverancesH4190; And 57to 58GodH3068 the LordH136 belong escapesH8444 59from deathH4194.21SurelyH389 GodH430 will 60shatterH4272 the headH7218 of His enemiesH340, The hairyH8181 crownH6936 of him who goesH1980 on in his guiltyH817 deedsH817.22The LordH136 61saidH559, “62I will bringH7725 them backH7725 from BashanH1316. I will bringH7725 them backH7725 from the depthsH4688 of the seaH3220;23That 6364your footH7272 may shatterH4272 them in bloodH1818, The tongueH3956 of your 65dogsH3611 may have its portionH4521 from your enemiesH340.”
