22 The Lord says, “I will bring them from Bashan;
    I will bring them from the depths of the sea,(A)
23 that your feet may wade in the blood of your foes,(B)
    while the tongues of your dogs(C) have their share.”

24 Your procession, God, has come into view,
    the procession of my God and King into the sanctuary.(D)
25 In front are the singers,(E) after them the musicians;(F)
    with them are the young women playing the timbrels.(G)
26 Praise God in the great congregation;(H)
    praise the Lord in the assembly of Israel.(I)
27 There is the little tribe(J) of Benjamin,(K) leading them,
    there the great throng of Judah’s princes,
    and there the princes of Zebulun and of Naphtali.(L)

28 Summon your power,(M) God[a];
    show us your strength,(N) our God, as you have done(O) before.

  1. Psalm 68:28 Many Hebrew manuscripts, Septuagint and Syriac; most Hebrew manuscripts Your God has summoned power for you

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

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

24 They have seen thy goings, O God; even the goings of my God, my King, in the sanctuary.

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

26 Bless ye God in the congregations, even the Lord, from the fountain of Israel.

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

28 Thy God hath commanded thy strength: strengthen, O God, that which thou hast wrought for us.
