66:20 Blessed be G.o.d, which hath not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me.

67:1 G.o.d be merciful unto us, and bless us; and cause his face to shine upon us; Selah.

67:2 That thy way may be known upon earth, thy saving health among all nations.

67:3 Let the people praise thee, O G.o.d; let all the people praise thee.

67:4 O let the nations be glad and sing for joy: for thou shalt judge the people righteously, and govern the nations upon earth. Selah.

67:5 Let the people praise thee, O G.o.d; let all the people praise thee.

67:6 Then shall the earth yield her increase; and G.o.d, even our own G.o.d, shall bless us.

67:7 G.o.d shall bless us; and all the ends of the earth shall fear him.

68:1 Let G.o.d arise, let his enemies be scattered: let them also that hate him flee before him.

68:2 As smoke is driven away, so drive them away: as wax melteth before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of G.o.d.

68:3 But let the righteous be glad; let them rejoice before G.o.d: yea, let them exceedingly rejoice.

68:4 Sing unto G.o.d, sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth upon the heavens by his name JAH, and rejoice before him.

68:5 A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is G.o.d in his holy habitation.

68:6 G.o.d setteth the solitary in families: he bringeth out those which are bound with chains: but the rebellious dwell in a dry land.

68:7 O G.o.d, when thou wentest forth before thy people, when thou didst march through the wilderness; Selah:

68:8 The earth shook, the heavens also dropped at the presence of G.o.d: even Sinai itself was moved at the presence of G.o.d, the G.o.d of Israel.

68:9 Thou, O G.o.d, didst send a plentiful rain, whereby thou didst confirm thine inheritance, when it was weary.

68:10 Thy congregation hath dwelt therein: thou, O G.o.d, hast prepared of thy goodness for the poor.

68:11 The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that published it.

68:12 Kings of armies did flee apace: and she that tarried at home divided the spoil.

68:13 Though 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.

68:14 When the Almighty scattered kings in it, it was white as snow in Salmon.

68:15 The hill of G.o.d is as the hill of Bashan; an high hill as the hill of Bashan.

68:16 Why leap ye, ye high hills? this is the hill which G.o.d desireth to dwell in; yea, the LORD will dwell in it for ever.

68:17 The chariots of G.o.d are twenty thousand, even thousands of angels: the Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in the holy place.

68:18 Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive: thou hast received gifts for men; yea, for the rebellious also, that the LORD G.o.d might dwell among them.

68:19 Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the G.o.d of our salvation. Selah.

68:20 He that is our G.o.d is the G.o.d of salvation; and unto G.o.d the Lord belong the issues from death.

68:21 But G.o.d shall wound the head of his enemies, and the hairy scalp of such an one as goeth on still in his trespa.s.ses.

68:22 The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will bring my people again from the depths of the sea:

68:23 That thy foot may be dipped in the blood of thine enemies, and the tongue of thy dogs in the same.

68:24 They have seen thy goings, O G.o.d; even the goings of my G.o.d, my King, in the sanctuary.

68:25 The singers went before, the players on instruments followed after; among them were the damsels playing with timbrels.

68:26 Bless ye G.o.d in the congregations, even the Lord, from the fountain of Israel.

68:27 There is little Benjamin with their ruler, the princes of Judah and their council, the princes of Zebulun, and the princes of Naphtali.

68:28 Thy G.o.d hath commanded thy strength: strengthen, O G.o.d, that which thou hast wrought for us.

68:29 Because of thy temple at Jerusalem shall kings bring presents unto thee.

68:30 Rebuke the company of spearmen, the mult.i.tude 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.

68:31 Princes shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall soon stretch out her hands unto G.o.d.

68:32 Sing unto G.o.d, ye kingdoms of the earth; O sing praises unto the Lord; Selah:

68:33 To him that rideth upon the heavens of heavens, which were of old; lo, he doth send out his voice, and that a mighty voice.

68:34 Ascribe ye strength unto G.o.d: his excellency is over Israel, and his strength is in the clouds.

68:35 O G.o.d, thou art terrible out of thy holy places: the G.o.d of Israel is he that giveth strength and power unto his people. Blessed be G.o.d.

69:1 Save me, O G.o.d; for the waters are come in unto my soul.

69:2 I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing: I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.

69:3 I am weary of my crying: my throat is dried: mine eyes fail while I wait for my G.o.d.

69:4 They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of mine head: they that would destroy me, being mine enemies wrongfully, are mighty: then I restored that which I took not away.

69:5 O G.o.d, thou knowest my foolishness; and my sins are not hid from thee.

69:6 Let not them that wait on thee, O Lord G.o.d of hosts, be ashamed for my sake: let not those that seek thee be confounded for my sake, O G.o.d of Israel.

69:7 Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; shame hath covered my face.
