19 Blessed be the Lord,
Who daily loads us with benefits,
The God of our salvation! Selah
20 Our God is the God of salvation;
And (A)to God the Lord belong escapes from death.

21 But (B)God will wound the head of His enemies,
(C)The hairy scalp of the one who still goes on in his trespasses.
22 The Lord said, “I will bring (D)back from Bashan,
I will bring them back (E)from the depths of the sea,
23 (F)That [a]your foot may crush them in blood,
(G)And the tongues of your dogs may have their portion from your enemies.”

24 They have seen Your [b]procession, O God,
The procession of my God, my King, into the sanctuary.
25 (H)The singers went before, the players on instruments followed after;
Among them were the maidens playing timbrels.
26 Bless God in the congregations,
The Lord, from (I)the fountain of Israel.
27 (J)There is little Benjamin, their leader,
The princes of Judah and their [c]company,
The princes of Zebulun and the princes of Naphtali.

28 [d]Your God has (K)commanded your strength;
Strengthen, O God, what You have done for us.
29 Because of Your temple at Jerusalem,
(L)Kings will bring presents to You.
30 Rebuke the beasts of the reeds,
(M)The herd of bulls with the calves of the peoples,
Till everyone (N)submits himself with pieces of silver.
Scatter the peoples who delight in war.
31 (O)Envoys will come out of Egypt;
(P)Ethiopia will quickly (Q)stretch out her hands to God.

32 Sing to God, you (R)kingdoms of the earth;
Oh, sing praises to the Lord, Selah
33 To Him (S)who rides on the heaven of heavens, which were of old!
Indeed, He sends out His voice, a (T)mighty voice.
34 (U)Ascribe strength to God;
His excellence is over Israel,
And His strength is in the clouds.
35 O God, (V)You are more awesome than Your holy places.
The God of Israel is He who gives strength and power to His people.

Blessed be God!
