Psalm 68:29-35
Holman Christian Standard Bible
29 Because of Your temple at Jerusalem,
kings will bring tribute to You.(A)
30 Rebuke the beast[a] in the reeds,
the herd of bulls with the calves of the peoples.(B)
Trample underfoot those with bars of silver.[b]
Scatter the peoples who take pleasure in war.(C)
31 Ambassadors will come[c] from Egypt;
Cush will stretch out its hands[d] to God.(D)
32 Sing to God, you kingdoms of the earth;
sing praise to the Lord,(E)
33 to Him who rides in the ancient, highest heavens.(F)
Look, He thunders with His powerful voice!(G)
34 Ascribe power to God.
His majesty is over Israel,
His power among the clouds.(H)
35 God, You are awe-inspiring in Your sanctuaries.
The God of Israel gives power and strength to His people.
May God be praised!(I)
