68.9

With the sweet smoke of rams;
I will offer bullocks with goats. Selah
16Come, and hearken, all ye that fear God,
And I will declare what He hath done for my soul.
17I cried unto Him with my mouth,
And He was extolled with my tongue.
18If I had regarded iniquity in my heart,
The Lord would not hear;
19But verily God hath heard;
He hath attended to the voice of my prayer.
20Blessed be God,
Who hath not turned away my prayer, nor His mercy from me.


67 For the Leader; with string-music. A Psalm, a Song.


2God be gracious unto us, and bless us;
May He cause His face to shine toward us; Selah
3That Thy way may be known upon earth,
Thy salvation among all nations.
4Let the peoples give thanks unto Thee, O God;
Let the peoples give thanks unto Thee, all of them.
5O let the nations be glad and sing for joy;
For Thou wilt judge the peoples with equity,
And lead the nations upon earth. Selah
6Let the peoples give thanks unto Thee, O God;
Let the peoples give thanks unto Thee, all of them.
7The earth hath yielded her increase;
May God, our own God, bless us.
8May God bless us;
And let all the ends of the earth fear Him.


68 For the Leader. A Psalm of David, a Song.


2Let God arise, let His enemies be scattered;
And let them that hate Him flee before Him.
3As smoke is driven away, so drive them away;
As wax melteth before the fire,
So let the wicked perish at the presence of God.
4But let the righteous be glad, let them exult before God;
Yea, let them rejoice with gladness.
5Sing unto God, sing praises to His name;
Extol Him that rideth upon the skies, whose name is the Lord;
And exult ye before Him.
6A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows,
Is God in His holy habitation.
7God maketh the solitary to dwell in a house;
He bringeth out the prisoners into prosperity;
The rebellious dwell but in a parched land.
8O God, when Thou wentest forth before Thy people,
When Thou didst march through the wilderness; Selah
9The earth trembled, the heavens also dropped at the presence of God;
Even yon Sinai trembled at the presence of God, the God of Israel.
