PSAL. LXVIII.

[1]

Let God arise, and scattered

let all his enemies be;
And let all those that do him hate
before his presence flee.

2

As smoak is driven, so drive thou them:

as fire melts wax away,
Before Gods face let wicked men
so perish and decay.

3

But let the righteous be glad,

let them before Gods sight
Be very joyful, yea let them
rejoyce with all their might.


4

To God sing, to his Name sing praise,

extol him with your voice,
That rides on heav'n by his Name I AH,
before his face rejoyce.

5

Because the Lord a Father is

unto the fatherlesse:
God is the widows judge, within
his place of holinesse.

6

God doth the solitary set

in families; and from bands
The chain'd doth free, but rebels do
inhabit parched lands.

7

O God, what time thou didst go forth

before thy peoples face;
And when, through the great wildernesse,
thy glorious marching was;

8

Then at Gods presence shook the earth

then drops from heaven fel;
This Sinai shook before the Lord,
the God of Israel.

9

O God, thou to thine heritage

did send a plenteous rain;
Whereby thou, when it weary was,
didst it refresh again.

10

Thy congregation then did make

their habitation there:
Of thine own goodnesse for the poor,
O God, thou didst prepare.

11

The Lord himself did give the word

the word abroad did spread;
Great was the company of them
the same who published.

12

Kings of great armies foiled were,

and forc'd to flee away,
And women who remain'd at home,
did distribute the prey.

13

Though ye have lyen among the pots,

like doves ye shal appear;
Whose wings with silver, & with gold
whose feathers covered are.

14

when there th'almighty scatt'red Kings

like Salmons snow 'twas white.

15

Gods hil is like to Bashan hil,

like Bashan hil for hight.

16

Why do ye leap ye mountains high?

this is the hil where God
Desires to dwel, yea God in it
for ay wil make abode.

17

Gods chariots twenty thousand are,

thousands of Angels strong;
In's holy place God is, as in
mount Sinai, them among.

18

Thou hast, O Lord, most glorious

ascended up on hie,
And in triumph victorious led
captive captivitie:
Thou hast received gifts for men,
for such as did rebell,
Yea, ev'n for them; that God the Lord
in midst of them might dwell.

19

Blest be the Lord, who is to us

of our salvation God,
Who daily with his benefits
us plenteously doth load.

20

He, of salvation is the God,

who is our God most strong;
And, unto God the Lord from death
the issues do belong.

21

But surely, God shal wound the head

of those that are his foes;
The hairy scalp of him that still
on in his trespasse goes.

22

God said, my people I will bring

again from Bashan hill;
Yea, from the seas devouring deeps,
them bring again I will.

23

That in the bloud of enemies

thy foot inbru'd may be;
And, of thy dogs dipt in the same,
the tongues thou mayest see.

24

Thy goings they have seen, O God,

the steps of Majesty
Of my God, and my mighty King,
within the sanctuary.

25

Before went singers, players next

on instruments took way;
And them among the damsels were
that did on timbrels play.

26

Within the congregations

blesse God with one accord;
From Isra'ls fountain do ye blesse
and praise the mighty Lord.

27

With their Prince little Benjamin,

Princes and counsell there
Of Judah were, there Zabulons
and Naphtalies Princes were.

28

Thy God commands thy strength: make strong

what thou wrought'st for us, Lord.

29

For thy house at Jerusalem

Kings shall thee gifts afford.

30

The spear-mens host, the multitude

of bulls which fiercely look,
Those calves which people have forth sent,
O Lord our God rebuke.
Till every one submit himself,
and silver pieces bring:
The people that delight in war
disperse, O God, and King.

31

Those that be Princes great, shal then

come out of Egypt lands,
And Æthiopia to God
shal soon stretch out her hands.

32

O all ye Kingdoms of the earth,

sing praises to this King;
For he is Lord that ruleth all,
unto him praises sing.

33

To him that rides on heav'ns of heav'ns,

wch he of old did found;
Lo, he sends out his voyce, a voice
in might that doth abound.

34

Strength unto God do ye ascribe;

for his excellencie
Is over Israel, his strength
is in the clouds most hie.

35

Thou'rt from thy Temple dreadful Lord;

Isra'ls own God is he
Who gives his people strēgth, & pow'r
O let God blessed be.
