¹ Blessed be the Lord, who bears our burden day by day, The God who is our salvation! Selah.

² God is to us a God of acts of salvation; And to[4] GOD the Lord belong escapes from death [setting us free].

³ Surely God will shatter the head of His enemies, The hairy scalp of one who goes on in his guilty ways.

⁴ The Lord said, "I will bring your enemies back from Bashan; I will bring them back from the depths of the [Red] Sea,

⁵ That your foot may crush them in blood, That the tongue of your dogs may have its share from your enemies."

⁶ They have seen Your [solemn][5] procession, O God, The procession of my God, my King, into the sanctuary [in holiness].

⁷ The singers go in front, the players of instruments last; Between them the maidens playing on tambourines.

⁸ Bless God in the congregations, [give thanks, gratefully praise Him], The LORD, you who are from [Jacob] the fountain of Israel.

⁹ The youngest is there, Benjamin, ruling them, The princes of Judah and their company [the southern tribes], The princes of Zebulun and the princes of Naphtali [the northern tribes].

¹⁰ Your God has commanded your strength [your power in His service and your resistance to temptation]; Show Yourself strong, O God, who acted on our behalf.

¹¹ Because of Your temple at Jerusalem [Pagan] kings will bring gifts to You [out of respect].

¹² Rebuke the beasts [living] among the reeds [in Egypt], The herd of bulls (the leaders) with the calves of the peoples; Trampling underfoot the pieces of silver; He has scattered the peoples who delight in war.

¹³ Princes and envoys shall come from Egypt; Ethiopia will quickly stretch out her hands [with the offerings of submission] to God.

¹⁴ Sing to God, O kingdoms of the earth, Sing praises to the Lord! Selah.

¹⁵ To Him who rides in the highest heavens, the ancient heavens, Behold, He sends out His voice, a mighty and majestic voice.

¹⁶ Ascribe strength to God; His majesty is over Israel And His strength is in the skies.

¹⁷ O God, You are awesome and profoundly majestic from Your sanctuary; The God of Israel gives strength and power to His people. Blessed be God!
