JESUS MAKES OUR ENEMIES OUR FOOTSTOOL

 Surely God will crush the heads of His enemies,

the hairy crowns of those who persist in guilty ways.

22The Lord said, “I will retrieve them from Bashan,

I will bring them up from the depths of the sea,

23that your foot may be dipped

in the blood of your foes—

the tongues of your dogs in the same.”

24They have seen Your procession, O God—

the march of my God and King into the sanctuary.

25The singers lead the way,

the musicians follow after,

among the maidens playing tambourines.

26Bless God in the great congregation;

bless the LORD from the fountain of Israel.

27There is Benjamin, the youngest, ruling them,

the princes of Judah in their company,

the princes of Zebulun and of Naphtali.

28Summon Your power, O God;e

show Your strength, O God,

which You have exerted on our behalf.

29Because of Your temple at Jerusalem

kings will bring You gifts.

30Rebuke the beast in the reeds,

the herd of bulls among the calves of the nations,

until it submits, bringing bars of silver.

Scatter the nations who delight in war.

31Envoys will arrive from Egypt;

Cushf will stretch out her hands to God.



JESUS IS THE CENTER OF MY JOY PSALMS 68

 Though you lie down among the sheepfolds,

the wings of the dove are covered with silver,

and her feathers with shimmering gold.”

14When the Almightyb scattered the kings in the land,

it was like the snow falling on Zalmon.

15A mountain of God is Mount Bashan;

a mountain of many peaks is Mount Bashan.

16Why do you gaze in envy, O mountains of many peaks?

This is the mountain God chose for His dwelling,

where the LORD will surely dwell forever.

17The chariots of God are tens of thousands—

thousands of thousands are they;

the Lord is in His sanctuary

as He was at Sinai.c

18You have ascended on high;

You have led captives away.

You have received gifts from men,d

even from the rebellious,

that the LORD God may dwell there.

19Blessed be the Lord,

who daily bears our burden,

the God of our salvation.

Selah

20Our God is a God of deliverance; the Lord GOD is our rescuer from death



ONE GOD WHO IS GOD ALONE NOT AN IDOL ISAIAH 44
