New King James Version
Psalm 68:28-35
New King James Version
28 [a]Your God has (A)commanded your strength;
Strengthen, O God, what You have done for us.
29 Because of Your temple at Jerusalem,
(B)Kings will bring presents to You.
30 Rebuke the beasts of the reeds,
(C)The herd of bulls with the calves of the peoples,
Till everyone (D)submits himself with pieces of silver.
Scatter the peoples who delight in war.
31 (E)Envoys will come out of Egypt;
(F)Ethiopia will quickly (G)stretch out her hands to God.
32 Sing to God, you (H)kingdoms of the earth;
Oh, sing praises to the Lord, Selah
33 To Him (I)who rides on the heaven of heavens, which were of old!
Indeed, He sends out His voice, a (J)mighty voice.
34 (K)Ascribe strength to God;
His excellence is over Israel,
And His strength is in the clouds.
35 O God, (L)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!

King James Version
28 Thy God hath commanded thy strength: strengthen, O God, that which thou hast wrought for us.
29 Because of thy temple at Jerusalem shall kings bring presents unto thee.
30 Rebuke the company of spearmen, the multitude of the bulls, with the calves of the people, till every one submit himself with pieces of silver: scatter thou the people that delight in war.
31 Princes shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall soon stretch out her hands unto God.
32 Sing unto God, ye kingdoms of the earth; O sing praises unto the Lord; Selah:
33 To him that rideth upon the heavens of heavens, which were of old; lo, he doth send out his voice, and that a mighty voice.
34 Ascribe ye strength unto God: his excellency is over Israel, and his strength is in the clouds.
35 O God, thou art terrible out of thy holy places: the God of Israel is he that giveth strength and power unto his people. Blessed be God.
