² You are ^(C)the most handsome of the sons of men;
    ^(D)grace is poured upon your lips;
    therefore God has blessed you forever.
^3 (E)Gird your ^(F)sword on your thigh, O ^(G)mighty one,
    in ^(H)your splendor and majesty!

⁴ In your majesty ^(I)ride out victoriously
    for the cause of truth and meekness and righteousness;
    let your right hand teach you ^(J)awesome deeds!
⁵ Your arrows are sharp
    in the heart of the king's enemies;
    the peoples fall under you.

^6 (K)Your throne, O God, is forever and ever.
    The ^(L)scepter of your kingdom is a scepter of uprightness;
^{7     (M)}you have loved righteousness and hated wickedness.
Therefore ^(N)God, your God, has ^(O)anointed you
    with the oil of ^(P)gladness ^(Q)beyond your companions;
⁸     your robes are all fragrant with ^(R)myrrh and aloes and cassia.
From ivory palaces ^(S)stringed instruments make you glad;
⁹     daughters of kings are among your ladies of honor;
    ^(T)at your right hand stands the queen in ^(U)gold of Ophir.

¹⁰ Hear, O daughter, and consider, and incline your ear:
    forget your people and your father's house,
¹¹     and the king will desire your beauty.
Since he is your ^(V)lord, ^(W)bow to him.
¹²     The people^[b] of Tyre will ^(X)seek your favor with ^(Y)gifts,
    ^(Z)the richest of the people.^[c]

¹³ All glorious is ^(AA)the princess in her chamber, with robes interwoven with gold.
^{14     (AB)}In many-colored robes ^(AC)she is led to the king,
    with her virgin companions following behind her.
¹⁵ With joy and gladness they are led along
    as they enter the palace of the king.

¹⁶ In place of your fathers shall be your sons;
    you will make them ^(AD)princes in all the earth.
^17 (AE)I will cause your name to be remembered in all generations;
    therefore nations will praise you forever and ever.

⁴ Sing to God, ^(F)sing praises to his name;
    ^(G)lift up a song to him who ^(H)rides through ^(I)the deserts;
his name is ^(J)the Lord;
    exult before him!
^5 (K)Father of the fatherless and ^(L)protector of widows
    is God in his holy habitation.
⁶ God ^(M)settles the solitary in a home;
    he ^(N)leads out the prisoners to prosperity,
    but ^(O)the rebellious dwell in ^(P)a parched land.

⁷ O God, when you ^(Q)went out before your people,
    ^(R)when you marched through ^(S)the wilderness, Selah
^8 (T)the earth quaked, the heavens poured down rain,
    before God, the One of Sinai,
    before God,^[a] the God of Israel.
^9 (U)Rain in abundance, O God, you shed abroad;
    you restored your inheritance as it languished;
¹⁰ your flock^[b] found a dwelling in it;
    in your goodness, O God, you ^(V)provided for the needy.

¹¹ The Lord gives ^(W)the word;
    ^(X)the women who announce the news are a great host:
^{12     (Y)}“The kings of the armies—they flee, they flee!”
The women at home ^(Z)divide the spoil—
¹³     though you men lie among ^(AA)the sheepfolds—
the wings of a dove covered with silver,
    its pinions with shimmering gold.
¹⁴ When the Almighty scatters kings there,
    let snow fall on ^(AB)Zalmon.

¹⁵ O mountain of God, mountain of Bashan;
    O many-peaked^[c] mountain, mountain of Bashan!
¹⁶ Why do you look with hatred, O many-peaked mountain,
    at the mount that God ^(AC)desired for his abode,
    yes, where the Lord will dwell forever?
^17 (AD)The chariots of God are twice ten thousand,
    thousands upon thousands;
    the Lord is among them; Sinai is now in the sanctuary.
^18 (AE)You ascended on high,
    ^(AF)leading a host of captives in your train
    and ^(AG)receiving gifts among men,
even among ^(AH)the rebellious, ^(AI)that the Lord God may dwell there.

¹⁹ Blessed be the Lord,
    who daily ^(AJ)bears us up;
    God is our salvation. Selah
²⁰ Our God is a God of salvation,
    ^(AK)and to God, the Lord, belong deliverances from death.
^21 (AL)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 ^(AM)from Bashan,
^(AN)I will bring them back from the depths of the sea,
²³ that you may ^(AO)strike your feet in their blood,
    that ^(AP)the tongues of your dogs may have their portion from the foe.”

²⁴ Your procession is^[d] seen, O God,
    the procession of my God, my King, into the sanctuary—
^25 (AQ)the singers in front, ^(AR)the musicians last,
    between them ^(AS)virgins playing tambourines:
^26 (AT)“Bless God in the great congregation,
    the Lord, O you^[e] who are of ^(AU)Israel's fountain!”
²⁷ There is ^(AV)Benjamin, the least of them, in the lead,
    the princes of Judah in their throng,
    the princes of ^(AW)Zebulun, the princes of Naphtali.

^28 (AX)Summon your power, O God,^[f]
    the power, O God, by which you have worked for us.
²⁹ Because of your temple at Jerusalem
    kings shall ^(AY)bear gifts to you.
³⁰ Rebuke ^(AZ)the beasts that dwell among the reeds,
    the herd of ^(BA)bulls with the calves of the peoples.
^(BB)Trample underfoot those who lust after tribute;
    scatter the peoples who delight in war.^[g]
31 Nobles shall come from ^(BC)Egypt;
    ^(BD)Cush shall hasten to ^(BE)stretch out her hands to God.

^32 (BF)O kingdoms of the earth, sing to God;
    sing praises to the Lord, Selah
³³ to him ^(BG)who rides in ^(BH)the heavens, the ancient heavens;
    behold, he ^(BI)sends out his voice, his mighty voice.
^34 (BJ)Ascribe power to God,
    whose majesty is over Israel,
    and whose ^(BK)power is in ^(BL)the skies.
^35 (BM)Awesome is God from his^{[h] (BN)}sanctuary;
    the God of Israel—he is the one who gives ^(BO)power and strength to his people.
Blessed be God!
