¹ [(0)] For the leader. A psalm of David. A song:

² [(1)] Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered; let those who hate him flee from his presence.

³ [(2)] Drive them away as smoke is driven away; like wax melting in the presence of a fire, let the wicked perish in the presence of God.

⁴ [(3)] But let the righteous rejoice and be glad in God’s presence; yes, let them exult and rejoice.

⁵ [(4)] Sing to God, sing praises to his name; extol him who rides on the clouds by his name, Yah; and be glad in his presence.

⁶ [(5)] God in his holy dwelling, is a father to orphans and defender of widows.

⁷ [(6)] God gives homes to those who are alone and leads prisoners out into prosperity. But rebels must live in a parched wasteland.

⁸ [(7)] God, when you went out at the head of your people, when you marched out through the wilderness, (Selah)

⁹ [(8)] the earth quaked, and rain poured from the sky, at the presence of God. Even Sinai [shook] at the presence of God, the God of Isra’el.

¹⁰ [(9)] You rained down showers in plenty, God; when your heritage was weary, you restored it.

¹⁴ [(13)] Even if you lie among the animal stalls, there are wings of a dove covered with silver and its plumes with green gold.

¹⁵ [(14)] When Shaddai scatters kings there, snow falls on Tzalmon.

¹⁶ [(15)] You mighty mountain, Mount Bashan! You rugged mountain, Mount Bashan!

¹⁷ [(16)] You rugged mountain, why look with envy at the mountain God wants for his place to live? Truly, ADONAI will live there forever.

¹⁸ [(17)] God’s chariots are myriads, repeated thousands; Adonai is among them as in Sinai, in holiness.

¹⁹ [(18)] After you went up into the heights, you led captivity captive, you took gifts among mankind, yes, even among the rebels, so that Yah, God, might live there.

²⁰ [(19)] Blessed be Adonai! Every day he bears our burden, does God, our salvation. (Selah)

²¹ [(20)] Our God is a God who saves; from ADONAI Adonai comes escape from death.

²² [(21)] God will surely crush the heads of his enemies, the hairy crowns of those who continue in their guilt.

²³ [(22)] Adonai said, “I will bring them back from Bashan, I will fetch [those rebels] even from the depths of the sea;

³⁰ [(29)] from your temple in Yerushalayim, where kings will bring tribute to you.

³¹ [(30)] Rebuke the wild beast of the reeds, that herd of bulls with their calves, the peoples, who ingratiate themselves with bars of silver; let him scatter the peoples who take pleasure in fighting.

³³ [(32)] Sing to God, kingdoms of the earth! Sing praises to Adonai, (Selah)
