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.
