18You have ascended on high, You have led captive Your captives;
         You have received gifts among men,
         Even among the rebellious also, that the LORD God may dwell there.

19Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears our burden,
         The God who is our salvation.

20God is to us a God of deliverances;
         And to GOD the Lord belong escapes from death.

21Surely God will shatter the head of His enemies,
         The hairy crown of him who goes on in his guilty deeds.

22The Lord said, “I will bring them back from Bashan.
         I will bring them back from the depths of the sea;

23That your foot may shatter them in blood,
         The tongue of your dogs may have its portion from your enemies.”

24They have seen Your procession, O God,
         The procession of my God, my King, into the sanctuary.

25The singers went on, the musicians after them,
         In the midst of the maidens beating tambourines.

26Bless God in the congregations,
         Even the LORD, you who are of the fountain of Israel.

27There is Benjamin, the youngest, ruling them,
         The princes of Judah in their throng,
         The princes of Zebulun, the princes of Naphtali.

28Your God has commanded your strength;
         Show Yourself strong, O God, who have acted on our behalf.

29Because of Your temple at Jerusalem
         Kings will bring gifts to You.

30Rebuke the beasts in the reeds,
         The herd of bulls with the calves of the peoples,
         Trampling under foot the pieces of silver;
         He has scattered the peoples who delight in war.

31Envoys will come out of Egypt;
         Ethiopia will quickly stretch out her hands to God.

32Sing to God, O kingdoms of the earth,
         Sing praises to the Lord,

33To Him who rides upon the highest heavens, which are from ancient times;
         Behold, He speaks forth with His voice, a mighty voice.

34Ascribe strength to God;
         His majesty is over Israel
         And His strength is in the skies.

35O God, You are awesome from Your sanctuary.
         The God of Israel Himself gives strength and power to the people.
         Blessed be God!
