^(F1)May ^(C1)God arise, ^(F2)may His enemies be scattered, And ^(F3)may those who hate Him flee from His presence.

As ^(C1)smoke is driven away, so drive them away; As ^(C2)wax melts before a fire, So the ^(C3)wicked will perish before God.

But the ^(C1)righteous will be joyful; they will rejoice before God; Yes, they will rejoice with gladness.

Sing to God, ^(C1)sing praises to His name; ^(F1)(C2)Exalt Him who ^(C3)rides through the deserts, Whose ^(C4)name is ^(F2)the LORD, and be jubilant before Him.

A ^(C1)father of the fatherless and a ^(C2)judge ^(F1)for the widows, Is God in His ^(C3)holy dwelling.

God ^(F1)(C1)makes a home for the lonely; He ^(C2)leads out the prisoners into prosperity, Only ^(C3)the rebellious live in parched lands.

God, when You ^(C1)went forth before Your people, When You ^(C2)marched through the desert, Selah

The ^(C1)earth quaked; The ^(C2)heavens also dropped rain at the presence of God; ^(F1)(C3)Sinai itself quaked at the presence of God, the God of Israel.

You ^(C1)made plentiful rain fall, God; You confirmed Your inheritance when it was ^(F1)parched.

Your creatures settled in it; In Your kindness You ^(C1)provided for the poor, God.

The Lord gives the ^(F1)command; The ^(C1)women who proclaim good news are a great army:

"^(C1)Kings of armies flee, they flee, And she who remains at home will ^(C2)divide the spoils!"

^(F1)When you lie down ^(C1)among the sheepfolds, You are like the wings of a dove covered with silver, And its pinions with ^(F2)glistening gold.

When the Almighty ^(C1)scattered the kings ^(F1)there, It was snowing in ^(C2)Zalmon.

^(C1)The mountain of Bashan is a ^(F1)mountain of God; The mountain of Bashan is a mountain of many peaks.

Why do you look with envy, you mountains of many peaks, At the mountain God has ^(C1)desired as His dwelling? Indeed, ^(C2)the LORD will dwell there forever.

The ^(C1)chariots of God are ^(F1)myriads, ^(C2)thousands upon thousands; ^(F2)The Lord is among them as at Sinai, in holiness.

You have ^(C1)ascended on high, You have ^(C2)led captive Your captives; You have received gifts among people, Even among the rebellious as well, that ^(F1)the LORD God may dwell there.

Blessed be the Lord, who daily ^(C1)bears our burden, ^(C2)The God who is our salvation. Selah

God is to us a ^(C1)God of salvation; And ^(C2)to ^(F1)GOD the Lord belong ways of escape ^(F2)from death.

God certainly will ^(C1)shatter the heads of His enemies, The hairy ^(F1)head of one who goes about in his guilt.

The Lord ^(F1)said, "^(C1)I will bring them back from Bashan. I will bring them back from the depths of the sea,

So that ^(F1)(C1)your foot may shatter them in blood, And the tongue of your ^(C2)dogs may have its portion from your enemies."

They have seen ^(C1)Your procession, God, The procession of my God, my King, ^(F1)(C2)into the sanctuary.
