⁶ God sets the lonely^(A) in families,^[a](B)
    he leads out the prisoners^(C) with singing;
    but the rebellious live in a sun-scorched land.^(D)

⁷ When you, God, went out^(E) before your people,
    when you marched through the wilderness,^[b](F)
8 the earth shook,^(G) the heavens poured down rain,^(H)
    before God, the One of Sinai,^(I)
    before God, the God of Israel.^(J)
9 You gave abundant showers,^(K) O God;
    you refreshed your weary inheritance.
¹⁰ Your people settled in it,
    and from your bounty,^(L) God, you provided^(M) for the poor.

¹¹ The Lord announces the word,
    and the women who proclaim it are a mighty throng:^(N)
12 “Kings and armies flee^(O) in haste;
    the women at home divide the plunder.^(P)
13 Even while you sleep among the sheep pens,^[c](Q)
    the wings of my dove are sheathed with silver,
    its feathers with shining gold.”
¹⁴ When the Almighty^[d] scattered^(R) the kings in the land,
    it was like snow fallen on Mount Zalmon.^(S)

¹⁵ Mount Bashan,^(T) majestic mountain,^(U)
    Mount Bashan, rugged mountain,
¹⁶ why gaze in envy, you rugged mountain,
    at the mountain where God chooses^(V) to reign,
    where the Lord himself will dwell forever?^(W)
17 The chariots^(X) of God are tens of thousands
    and thousands of thousands;^(Y)
    the Lord has come from Sinai into his sanctuary.^[e]
18 When you ascended^(Z) on high,^(AA)
    you took many captives;^(AB)
    you received gifts from people,^(AC)
even from^[f] the rebellious^(AD)—
    that you,^[g] Lord God, might dwell there.

¹⁹ Praise be to the Lord, to God our Savior,^(AE)
    who daily bears our burdens.^(AF)
20 Our God is a God who saves;^(AG)
    from the Sovereign Lord comes escape from death.^(AH)
21 Surely God will crush the heads^(AI) of his enemies,
    the hairy crowns of those who go on in their sins.
²² The Lord says, “I will bring them from Bashan;
    I will bring them from the depths of the sea,^(AJ)
23 that your feet may wade in the blood of your foes,^(AK)
    while the tongues of your dogs^(AL) have their share.”

²⁴ Your procession, God, has come into view,
    the procession of my God and King into the sanctuary.^(AM)
25 In front are the singers,^(AN) after them the musicians;^(AO)
    with them are the young women playing the timbrels.^(AP)
26 Praise God in the great congregation;^(AQ)
    praise the Lord in the assembly of Israel.^(AR)
27 There is the little tribe^(AS) of Benjamin,^(AT) leading them,
    there the great throng of Judah’s princes,
    and there the princes of Zebulun and of Naphtali.^(AU)

²⁸ Summon your power,^(AV) God^[h];
    show us your strength,^(AW) our God, as you have done^(AX) before.
²⁹ Because of your temple at Jerusalem
    kings will bring you gifts.^(AY)
30 Rebuke the beast^(AZ) among the reeds,^(BA)
    the herd of bulls^(BB) among the calves of the nations.
Humbled, may the beast bring bars of silver.
    Scatter the nations^(BC) who delight in war.^(BD)
31 Envoys will come from Egypt;^(BE)
    Cush^[i](BF) will submit herself to God.

³² Sing to God, you kingdoms of the earth,^(BG)
    sing praise^(BH) to the Lord,
³³ to him who rides^(BI) across the highest heavens, the ancient heavens,
    who thunders^(BJ) with mighty voice.^(BK)
34 Proclaim the power^(BL) of God,
    whose majesty^(BM) is over Israel,
    whose power is in the heavens.
³⁵ You, God, are awesome^(BN) in your sanctuary;^(BO)
    the God of Israel gives power and strength^(BP) to his people.^(BQ)

Praise be to God!^(BR)
