28 (A)Summon your power, O God,[a]
    the power, O God, by which you have worked for us.
29 Because of your temple at Jerusalem
    kings shall (B)bear gifts to you.
30 Rebuke (C)the beasts that dwell among the reeds,
    the herd of (D)bulls with the calves of the peoples.
(E)Trample underfoot those who lust after tribute;
    scatter the peoples who delight in war.[b]
31 Nobles shall come from (F)Egypt;
    (G)Cush shall hasten to (H)stretch out her hands to God.

32 (I)O kingdoms of the earth, sing to God;
    sing praises to the Lord, Selah
33 to him (J)who rides in (K)the heavens, the ancient heavens;
    behold, he (L)sends out his voice, his mighty voice.
34 (M)Ascribe power to God,
    whose majesty is over Israel,
    and whose (N)power is in (O)the skies.
35 (P)Awesome is God from his[c] (Q)sanctuary;
    the God of Israel—he is the one who gives (R)power and strength to his people.
Blessed be God!
