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

That your foot may be dipped in blood, * the tongues of your dogs in the blood of your enemies.”

They see your procession, O God, * your procession into the sanctuary, my God and my King.

The singers go before, musicians follow after, * in the midst of maidens playing upon the hand&#8209;drums.

Bless God in the congregation; * bless the, you that are of the fountain of Israel.

There is Benjamin, least of the tribes, at the head; the princes of Judah in a company; * and the princes of Zebulon and Naphtali.

Send forth your strength, O God; * establish, O God, what you have wrought for us.

Kings shall bring gifts to you, * for your temple’s sake at Jerusalem.

Rebuke the wild beast of the reeds, * and the peoples, a herd of wild bulls with its calves.

Trample down those who lust after silver; * scatter the peoples that delight in war.

Let tribute be brought out of Egypt; * let Ethiopia stretch out her hands to God.

Sing to God, O kingdoms of the earth; * sing praises to the Lord.

He rides in the heavens, the ancient heavens; * he sends forth his voice, his mighty voice.
