¹⁹ Blessed be the Lord,
    who daily ^(A)bears us up;
    God is our salvation. Selah
²⁰ Our God is a God of salvation,
    ^(B)and to God, the Lord, belong deliverances from death.
^21 (C)But God will strike the heads of his enemies,
    the hairy crown of him who walks in his guilty ways.
²² The Lord said,
    “I will bring them back ^(D)from Bashan,
^(E)I will bring them back from the depths of the sea,
²³ that you may ^(F)strike your feet in their blood,
    that ^(G)the tongues of your dogs may have their portion from the foe.”

²⁴ Your procession is^[a] seen, O God,
    the procession of my God, my King, into the sanctuary—
^25 (H)the singers in front, ^(I)the musicians last,
    between them ^(J)virgins playing tambourines:
^26 (K)“Bless God in the great congregation,
    the Lord, O you^[b] who are of ^(L)Israel's fountain!”
²⁷ There is ^(M)Benjamin, the least of them, in the lead,
    the princes of Judah in their throng,
    the princes of ^(N)Zebulun, the princes of Naphtali.

^28 (O)Summon your power, O God,^[c]
    the power, O God, by which you have worked for us.
²⁹ Because of your temple at Jerusalem
    kings shall ^(P)bear gifts to you.
³⁰ Rebuke ^(Q)the beasts that dwell among the reeds,
    the herd of ^(R)bulls with the calves of the peoples.
^(S)Trample underfoot those who lust after tribute;
    scatter the peoples who delight in war.^[d]
31 Nobles shall come from ^(T)Egypt;
    ^(U)Cush shall hasten to ^(V)stretch out her hands to God.

^32 (W)O kingdoms of the earth, sing to God;
    sing praises to the Lord, Selah
³³ to him ^(X)who rides in ^(Y)the heavens, the ancient heavens;
    behold, he ^(Z)sends out his voice, his mighty voice.
^34 (AA)Ascribe power to God,
    whose majesty is over Israel,
    and whose ^(AB)power is in ^(AC)the skies.
^35 (AD)Awesome is God from his^{[e] (AE)}sanctuary;
    the God of Israel—he is the one who gives ^(AF)power and strength to his people.
Blessed be God!
