Psalms 68:19–23

TEXT EDITION
Pure Cambridge Edition selected
Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah.
He that is our God is the God of salvation; and unto God the Lord belong the issues from death.
But God shall wound the head of his enemies, and the hairy scalp of such an one as goeth on still in his trespasses.
The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will bring my people again from the depths of the sea:
That thy foot may be dipped in the blood of thine enemies, and the tongue of thy dogs in the same.

    3Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;

    4Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;

    5Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

    18To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them.

    19The Lord hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all.

    20Bless the Lord, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.

    21Bless ye the Lord, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure.
