Psalm 67:
1 God be gracious and kind-hearted to us and bless us, And make His face shine [with favor] on us— Selah.
[2] That Your way may be known on earth, Your salvation and deliverance among all nations.
[3] Let the peoples praise You, O God; Let all the peoples praise You.
[4] Let the nations be glad and sing for joy, For You will judge the people fairly And guide the nations on earth. Selah.
[5] Let the peoples praise You, O God; Let all the peoples praise You.
[6] The earth has yielded its harvest [as evidence of His approval]; God, our God, blesses us.
[7] God blesses us, And all the ends of the earth shall fear Him [with awe-inspired reverence and submissive wonder].
Psalm 68:
1 Let God arise, and His enemies be scattered; Let those who hate Him flee before Him.
[2] As smoke is driven away, so drive them away; As wax melts before the fire, So let the wicked and guilty perish before [the presence of] God.
[3] But let the righteous be glad; let them be in good spirits before God, Yes, let them rejoice with delight.
[4] Sing to God, sing praises to His name; Lift up a song for Him who rides through the desert—His name is the LORD—be in good spirits before Him.
[5] A father of the fatherless and a judge and protector of the widows, Is God in His holy habitation.
[6] God makes a home for the lonely; He leads the prisoners into prosperity, Only the stubborn and rebellious dwell in a parched land.
[7] O God, when You went out before Your people, When You marched through the wilderness, Selah.
[8] The earth trembled; The heavens also poured down rain at the presence of God; Sinai itself trembled at the presence of God, the God of Israel.
[9] You, O God, sent abroad plentiful rain; You confirmed Your inheritance when it was parched and weary.
[10] Your flock found a dwelling place in it; O God, in Your goodness You provided for the poor.
[11] The Lord gives the command [to take Canaan]; The women who proclaim the good news are a great host (army);
[12] “The kings of the [enemies’] armies flee, they flee, And the beautiful woman who remains at home divides the spoil [left behind].”
[13] When you lie down [to rest] among the sheepfolds, You [Israel] are like the wings of a dove [of victory] overlaid with silver, Its feathers glistening with gold [trophies taken from the enemy].
[14] When the Almighty scattered [the Canaanite] kings in the land of Canaan, It was snowing on Zalmon.
[15] A mountain of God is the mountain of Bashan; A [high] mountain of many summits is Mount Bashan [rising east of the Jordan].
[16] Why do you look with envy, mountains with many peaks, At the mountain [of the city of Zion] which God has desired for His dwelling place? Yes, the LORD will dwell there forever.
[17] The chariots of God are myriads, thousands upon thousands; The Lord is among them as He was at Sinai, in holiness.
[18] You have ascended on high, You have led away captive Your captives; You have received gifts among men, Even from the rebellious also, that the LORD God may dwell there.
[19] Blessed be the Lord, who bears our burden day by day, The God who is our salvation! Selah.
[20] God is to us a God of acts of salvation; And to GOD the Lord belong escapes from death [setting us free].
