25The singers went on, the musicians after them, In the midst of the young women beating tambourines. 26Bless God in the congregations, Even the Lord, you who are of the fountain of Israel. Benjamin, the youngest, is there, ruling them, The leaders of Judah in their company, The leaders of Zebulun, the leaders of Naphtali. 28Your God has commanded your strength; Show Yourself strong, God, You who acted in our behalf. 29Because of Your temple at Jerusalem Kings will bring gifts to You.
