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!

⁵ May they fear you^[a] while ^(E)the sun endures,
    and as long as the moon, ^(F)throughout all generations!
⁶ May he be like ^(G)rain that falls on ^(H)the mown grass,
    like ^(I)showers that water the earth!
⁷ In his days may ^(J)the righteous flourish,
    and ^(K)peace abound, till the moon be no more!

⁸ May he have dominion from ^(L)sea to sea,
    and from ^(M)the River^[b] to the ^(N)ends of the earth!
⁹ May desert tribes ^(O)bow down before him,
    and his enemies ^(P)lick the dust!
¹⁰ May the kings of ^(Q)Tarshish and of ^(R)the coastlands
    render him ^(S)tribute;
may the kings of ^(T)Sheba and ^(U)Seba
    bring gifts!
¹¹ May all kings ^(V)fall down before him,
    all nations serve him!

¹² For he delivers ^(W)the needy when he calls,
    the poor and him who has no helper.
¹³ He has pity on the weak and the needy,
    and saves the lives of the needy.
¹⁴ From oppression and violence he redeems their life,
    and ^(X)precious is their blood in his sight.

¹⁵ Long may he live;
    may ^(Y)gold of Sheba be given to him!
May prayer be made ^(Z)for him continually,
    and blessings invoked for him all the day!
¹⁶ May there be abundance of grain in the land;
    on the tops of the mountains may it wave;
    may its fruit be like Lebanon;
and may people ^(AA)blossom in the cities
    like the ^(AB)grass of the field!
^17 (AC)May his name endure forever,
    his fame continue as long as the sun!
^(AD)May people be blessed in him,
    ^(AE)all nations call him blessed!

^18 (AF)Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel,
    who alone does ^(AG)wondrous things.
¹⁹ Blessed be his ^(AH)glorious name forever;
    may ^(AI)the whole earth be filled with his glory!
^(AJ)Amen and Amen!

^20 (AK)The prayers of ^(AL)David, the son of Jesse, are ended.

⁸ There is ^(M)none like you among the gods, O Lord,
    ^(N)nor are there any works like yours.
^9 (O)All the nations you have made shall come
    and worship before you, O Lord,
    and shall glorify your name.
¹⁰ For ^(P)you are great and ^(Q)do wondrous things;
    ^(R)you alone are God.
^11 (S)Teach me your way, O Lord,
    that I may ^(T)walk in your truth;
    ^(U)unite my heart to fear your name.
¹² I give thanks to you, O Lord my God, with my whole heart,
    and I will glorify your name forever.
^13 (V)For great is your steadfast love toward me;
    you have ^(W)delivered my soul from the depths of Sheol.

¹⁴ O God, insolent men have ^(X)risen up against me;
    a band of ruthless men seeks my life,
    and they do not set you before them.
¹⁵ But you, O Lord, are a God ^(Y)merciful and gracious,
    slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness.
^16 (Z)Turn to me and be gracious to me;
    give your strength to ^(AA)your servant,
    and save ^(AB)the son of your maidservant.
^17 (AC)Show me a sign of your ^(AD)favor,
    that those who hate me may see and be put to shame
    because you, Lord, have helped me and comforted me.
