【Psalm 146:1-2】

1. Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord,

O my soul, O my soul,

Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord,

O my soul, O my soul, Praise the Lord!

2. I will praise the Lord

as long as I live;

I will sing praises to my God

while I have my being.

【Psalm‬ ‭68‬:‭1‬-‭18】‬

To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. A Song.

1 God shall arise, his enemies shall be scattered; and those who hate him shall flee before him!

2 As smoke is driven away, so you shall drive them away; as wax melts before fire, so the wicked shall perish before God!

3 But the righteous shall be glad; they shall exult before God; they shall be

jubilant (猪-bull-lant) with joy!

4 Sing to God, sing praises to his name; lift up a song to him who rides through the deserts; his name is the Lord; exult before him!

5 Father of the fatherless and protector of widows is God in his holy habitation.

6 God settles the solitary (SOLID-ta-ry) in a home; he leads out the prisoners to prosperity, but the rebellious dwell in a parched (PART-ch) land.

7 O God, when you went out before your people, when you marched through the wilderness, Selah

8 the earth quaked, the heavens poured down rain, before God, the One of Sinai, before God, the God of Israel.

9 Rain in abundance, O God, you shed abroad; you restored your inheritance as it languished; (LAND-glish)

10 your flock found a dwelling in it; in your goodness, O God, you provided for the needy.

11 The Lord gives the word; the women who announce the news are a great host:

12 “The kings of the armies—they flee, they flee!” The women at home divide the spoil— though you men lie among the sheepfolds—

13 the wings of a dove covered with silver, its pinions with shimmering gold.

14 When the Almighty scatters kings there, let snow fall on Zalmon.

15 O mountain of God, mountain of Bashan; O many-peaked mountain, mountain of Bashan!

16 Why do you look with hatred, O many-peaked mountain, at the mount that God desired for his abode, yes, where the Lord will dwell forever?

17 The chariots of God are twice ten thousand, thousands upon thousands; the Lord is among them; Sinai is now in the sanctuary.

18 You ascended on high, leading a host of captives in your train and receiving gifts among men, even among the rebellious, that the Lord God may dwell there.
