13 In your unfailing love you will lead(A)
    the people you have redeemed.(B)
In your strength you will guide them
    to your holy dwelling.(C)
14 The nations will hear and tremble;(D)
    anguish(E) will grip the people of Philistia.(F)
15 The chiefs(G) of Edom(H) will be terrified,
    the leaders of Moab will be seized with trembling,(I)
the people[a] of Canaan will melt(J) away;
16     terror(K) and dread will fall on them.
By the power of your arm
    they will be as still as a stone(L)
until your people pass by, Lord,
    until the people you bought[b](M) pass by.(N)
17 You will bring(O) them in and plant(P) them
    on the mountain(Q) of your inheritance—
the place, Lord, you made for your dwelling,(R)
    the sanctuary,(S) Lord, your hands established.

18 “The Lord reigns
    for ever and ever.”(T)

13 Thou in thy mercy hast led forth the people which thou hast redeemed: thou hast guided them in thy strength unto thy holy habitation.

14 The people shall hear, and be afraid: sorrow shall take hold on the inhabitants of Palestina.

15 Then the dukes of Edom shall be amazed; the mighty men of Moab, trembling shall take hold upon them; all the inhabitants of Canaan shall melt away.

16 Fear and dread shall fall upon them; by the greatness of thine arm they shall be as still as a stone; till thy people pass over, O Lord, till the people pass over, which thou hast purchased.

17 Thou shalt bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of thine inheritance, in the place, O Lord, which thou hast made for thee to dwell in, in the Sanctuary, O Lord, which thy hands have established.

18 The Lord shall reign for ever and ever.

18 When you ascended(C) on high,(D)
    you took many captives;(E)
    you received gifts from people,(F)
even from[b] the rebellious(G)
    that you,[c] Lord God, might dwell there.

19 Praise be to the Lord, to God our Savior,(H)
    who daily bears our burdens.(I)
20 Our God is a God who saves;(J)
    from the Sovereign Lord comes escape from death.(K)
21 Surely God will crush the heads(L) of his enemies,
    the hairy crowns of those who go on in their sins.

    I will bring them from the depths of the sea,(M)
23 that your feet may wade in the blood of your foes,(N)
    while the tongues of your dogs(O) have their share.”

  2. Psalm 68:18 Or gifts for people, / even
  3. Psalm 68:18 Or they

17 The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands of angels: the Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in the holy place.

18 Thou 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.

19 Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah.

20 He that is our God is the God of salvation; and unto God the Lord belong the issues from death.

21 But God shall wound the head of his enemies, and the hairy scalp of such an one as goeth on still in his trespasses.

22 The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will bring my people again from the depths of the sea:

23 That thy foot may be dipped in the blood of thine enemies, and the tongue of thy dogs in the same.

24 They have seen thy goings, O God; even the goings of my God, my King, in the sanctuary.

“Let us go to his dwelling place,(A)
    let us worship at his footstool,(B) saying,
‘Arise, Lord,(C) and come to your resting place,
    you and the ark of your might.
May your priests be clothed with your righteousness;(D)
    may your faithful people(E) sing for joy.’”

10 For the sake of your servant David,
    do not reject your anointed one.

11 The Lord swore an oath to David,(F)
    a sure oath he will not revoke:
“One of your own descendants(G)
    I will place on your throne.
12 If your sons keep my covenant(H)
    and the statutes I teach them,
then their sons will sit
    on your throne(I) for ever and ever.”

13 For the Lord has chosen Zion,(J)
    he has desired it for his dwelling,(K) saying,
14 “This is my resting place for ever and ever;(L)
    here I will sit enthroned,(M) for I have desired it.

We will go into his tabernacles: we will worship at his footstool.

Arise, O Lord, into thy rest; thou, and the ark of thy strength.

Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and let thy saints shout for joy.

10 For thy servant David's sake turn not away the face of thine anointed.

11 The Lord hath sworn in truth unto David; he will not turn from it; Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne.

12 If thy children will keep my covenant and my testimony that I shall teach them, their children shall also sit upon thy throne for evermore.

13 For the Lord hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his habitation.

14 This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it.
