1Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered: let them also that hate him flee before him. 2As smoke is driven away, so drive them away: as wax melteth before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God. 3But let the righteous be glad; let them rejoice before God: yea, let them exceedingly rejoice. 4Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth upon the heavens by his name JAH, and rejoice before him. 5A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God in his holy habitation. 6God setteth the solitary in families: he bringeth out those which are bound with chains: but the rebellious dwell in a dry land. 7O God, when thou wentest forth before thy people, when thou didst march through the wilderness; Selah: 8The earth shook, the heavens also dropped at the presence of God: even Sinai itself was moved at the presence of God, the God of Israel.

9Thou, O God, didst send a plentiful rain, whereby thou didst confirm thine inheritance, when it was weary. 10Thy congregation hath dwelt therein: thou, O God, hast prepared of thy goodness for the poor. 11The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that published it. 12Kings of armies did flee apace: and she that tarried at home divided the spoil. 13Though ye have lien among the pots, yet shall ye be as the wings of a dove covered with silver, and her feathers with yellow gold. 14When the Almighty scattered kings in it, it was white as snow in Salmon. 15The hill of God is as the hill of Bashan; an high hill as the hill of Bashan. 16Why leap ye, ye high hills? this is the hill which God desireth to dwell in; yea, the LORD will dwell in it for ever.
17ειϲακουϲον μου κε οτι χρηϲτον το ελεοϲ ϲου κατα το πληθοϲ των οικτειρμων ϲου επιβλεψον επ εμε 18μη αποϲτρεψηϲ το προϲωπον ϲου απο του παιδοϲ ϲου οτι θλιβομαι τα χυ επακουϲον μου 19προϲχεϲ τη ψυχη μου και λυτρωϲαι αυτην ενεκα των εχθρων μου ρυϲαι με 20ϲυ γινωϲκειϲ τον ονειδιϲμον εμου και την αιϲχυνην μου και την εντροπην μου εναντιον ϲου παντεϲ οι θλιβοντεϲ με 21ονιδιϲμον προϲεδοκηϲεν η καρδια μου και ταλαιπωριαν και ϋπεμεινα ϲυνλυπουμενον και ουχ ευρον και παρακαλουντα και ουκ υπηρχεν 22και εδωκαν ειϲ το βρωμα μου χολην και ειϲ την διψαν μου εποτιϲαν με οξοϲ 23γενηθητω η τραπεζα αυτων ενωπιον αυτων ειϲ πακιδα και ειϲ ανταποδοϲιν και ειϲ ϲκανδαλο 24ϲκοτιϲθητωϲαν οι οφθαλμοι αυτω του μη βλεπειν και τον νωτον αυτων δια παντοϲ ϲυνκαμψον
17The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands of angels: the Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in the holy place. 18Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive: thou hast received gifts for men; yea, for the rebellious also, that the LORD God might dwell among them. 19Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah. 20He that is our God is the God of salvation; and unto God the Lord belong the issues from death. 21But God shall wound the head of his enemies, and the hairy scalp of such an one as goeth on still in his trespasses. 22The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will bring my people again from the depths of the sea: 23That thy foot may be dipped in the blood of thine enemies, and the tongue of thy dogs in the same. 24They have seen thy goings, O God; even the goings of my God, my King, in the sanctuary.
25εκχεον επ αυτουϲ την οργην ϲου και ο θυμοϲ ϲου λαβοι αυτουϲ 26γενηθητω η επαυλιϲ αυτων ηρημωμενη και εν τοιϲ ϲκηνωμαϲιν αυτων μη εϲτω ο κατοικων 27οτι ον ϲυ επαταξαϲ αυτοι κατεδιωξα και επι το αλγοϲ των τραυματων μου προϲεθηκαν 28και μη ειϲελθατωϲαν εν δικαιοϲυνη ϲου 29εξαλιφθητωϲαν εκ βιβλου ζωντων και μετα δικαιων μη γραφητωϲαν 30πτωχοϲ και αλγων ειμι εγω και η ϲωτηρια του προϲωπου ϲου ο θϲ αντελαβετο μου 31αινεϲω το ονομα του θυ μετα ωδηϲ μεγαλυνω αυτον εν αινεϲει 32και αρεϲει τω θω ϋπερ μοϲχον νεον κερατα και οπλαϲ
25The singers went before, the players on instruments followed after; among them were the damsels playing with timbrels. 26Bless ye God in the congregations, even the Lord, from the fountain of Israel. 27There is little Benjamin with their ruler, the princes of Judah and their council, the princes of Zebulun, and the princes of Naphtali. 28Thy God hath commanded thy strength: strengthen, O God, that which thou hast wrought for us. 29Because of thy temple at Jerusalem shall kings bring presents unto thee. 30Rebuke 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. 31Princes shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall soon stretch out her hands unto God. 32Sing unto God, ye kingdoms of the earth; O sing praises unto the Lord; Selah:
33ϊδετωϲαν πτωχοι και ευφρανθητωϲα εκζητηϲατε τον θν και ζηϲεται η ψυχη ημων 34οτι ειϲηκουϲεν των πενητων ο κϲ και τουϲ πεπεδημενουϲ αυτου ουκ εξουδενωϲεν 35αινεϲατωϲαν αυτον οι ουρανοι και η γη θαλαϲϲα και παντα τα περατα τηϲ γηϲ 36οτι ο θϲ ϲωϲει την ϲειων και οικοδομηθηϲονται αι πολειϲ τηϲ ϊουδαιαϲ και κατοικηϲουϲιν εκει και κληρονομηϲουϲιν αυτην 37και το ϲπερμα των δουλων ϲου καθεξουϲιν αυτην και οι αγαπωντεϲ το ονομα ϲου καταϲκηνωϲουϲιν εν αυτη
33To him that rideth upon the heavens of heavens, which were of old; lo, he doth send out his voice, and that a mighty voice. 34Ascribe ye strength unto God: his excellency is over Israel, and his strength is in the clouds. 35O 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.
