God’s Enemies Are Scattered
For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. A song.
God arises. His enemies are scattered, Num 10:35Isa 51:9-10Isa 42:13-14Psa 44:26Psa 89:10Ezk 12:14-15Psa 132:8-9Isa 33:3
and those who hate Him flee His presence.
As smoke is blown away, Mic 1:4Hos 13:3Psa 37:20Isa 9:18Psa 97:5Rev 6:16-17Psa 80:162Th 1:8-9
You will drive them out;
as wax melts before the fire,
the wicked will perish in the presence of God.
But the righteous will be glad Psa 64:101Th 5:16Psa 100:1-2Rev 18:201Pe 1:8Psa 95:1-2Deu 12:12Psa 43:4
and rejoice before God;
they will celebrate with joy.
Sing to God! Deu 33:26Isa 12:4-6Psa 66:4Psa 104:3Psa 66:2Psa 68:33Exo 6:3Isa 40:3
Sing praises to His name.
Exalt Him who rides on the clouds 1—
His name is the LORD—
and rejoice before Him.
A father of the fatherless, Jer 49:11Psa 10:14Deu 10:18Psa 82:3-4Psa 146:9Jer 5:28Luk 18:2-7Psa 72:4
and a defender of the widows,
is God in His holy habitation.
God settles the lonely in families; Psa 113:9Psa 69:33Psa 107:10Isa 61:1Psa 107:14Psa 146:7Psa 107:40-41Gal 4:27
He leads the prisoners out to prosperity,
but the rebellious dwell in a sun-scorched land.
O God, when You went out before Your people, Exo 13:21Jdg 5:4Jdg 4:14Hab 3:12-13Deu 4:34Mic 2:13Psa 114:1-8
when You marched through the wasteland,
Selah
the earth shook and the heavens poured down rain Exo 19:18Exo 19:16Deu 5:23-25Jdg 5:4-5Heb 12:26Isa 45:3Psa 41:13Psa 68:35
before God, the One on Sinai,
before God, the God of Israel.
You sent abundant rain, O God; Deu 11:14Ezk 34:26Psa 65:9-13Psa 78:24-27Deu 11:10-12Psa 77:16-17
You refreshed Your weary inheritance.
Your flock settled therein; Deu 26:9-10Psa 74:191Sa 2:8Luk 1:53Mat 11:51Pe 5:3Deu 26:5Deu 32:8-14
O God, from Your bounty You provided for the poor.
The Lord gives the command; Exo 15:20Psa 40:3Psa 68:25Exo 17:9-16Exo 14:15Jdg 4:6Rev 19:13Eph 4:11
a great company of women proclaim it:
“Kings and their armies flee in haste; Jos 10:16Jdg 5:191Sa 30:24Jos 12:7-24Rev 19:17-20Exo 14:25Jdg 5:30Jos 10:42
she who waits at home divides the plunder.
Though you lie down among the sheepfolds, Gen 49:14Psa 105:371Co 6:9-11Eph 2:1-3Jdg 5:16Rev 1:5-6Tit 3:31Ki 4:20-21
the wings of the dove are covered with silver,
and her feathers with shimmering gold.”
When the Almighty 2scattered the kings in the land, Isa 1:18Jdg 2:7Jdg 9:48Jos 10:10-43Psa 51:7Rev 19:14-21Jer 2:3Jos 12:1-24
it was like the snow falling on Zalmon.
A mountain of God is Mount Bashan; Psa 87:1-2Deu 3:10Isa 2:2-3Mic 7:14Psa 2:6Psa 78:68-69
a mountain of many peaks is Mount Bashan.
Why do you gaze in envy, O mountains of many peaks? Deu 12:5Psa 132:13-14Rev 21:2-3Heb 12:22-231Ki 9:3Deu 12:11Isa 2:2Psa 114:4
This is the mountain God chose for His dwelling,
where the LORD will surely dwell forever.
The chariots of God are tens of thousands— Deu 33:2Dan 7:10Rev 5:11Rev 9:16Hab 3:8Mat 26:532Ki 6:16-17Exo 19:22-23
thousands of thousands are they;
the Lord is in His sanctuary
as He was at Sinai. 3
You have ascended on high; Eph 4:8-102Co 6:16Rev 21:31Pe 3:22Col 1:18-19Psa 110:1Act 1:2-9Act 2:4
You have led captives away.
You have received gifts from men, 4
even from the rebellious,
that the LORD God may dwell there.
Blessed be the Lord, Isa 46:4Lam 3:23Eph 1:3Psa 55:22Psa 103:1-22Psa 32:7Psa 65:5Psa 139:17
who daily bears our burden,
the God of our salvation.

the hairy crowns of those who persist in guilty ways.
The Lord said, “I will retrieve them from Bashan, Num 21:33Ezk 36:24Amo 9:2-3Exo 14:22Exo 14:29Isa 11:11-16Isa 51:10-11Hos 1:10-11

the herd of bulls among the calves of the nations,
until it submits, bringing bars of silver.
Scatter the nations who delight in war.
