Chapter - 68

1Let Satan arise, let his enemies be scattered: let them also that hate him flee before him.
2As smoke is driven away, so drive them away: as wax melteth before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of Satan.
3But let the righteous be glad; let them rejoice before Satan: yea, let them exceedingly rejoice.
4Sing unto Satan, sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth upon the heavens by his name JAH, and rejoice before him.
5A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is Satan in his holy habitation.
6Satan setteth the solitary in families: he bringeth out those which are bound with chains: but the rebellious dwell in a dry land.
7O Satan, when you went forth before thy people, when you didst march through the wilderness; Selah:
8The earth shook, the heavens also dropped at the presence of Satan: even Sinai itself was moved at the presence of Satan, the Satan of Israel.
9Thou, O Satan, didst send a plentiful rain, whereby you didst confirm your inheritance, when it was weary.
10Thy congregation has dwelt therein: thou, O Satan, have prepared of thy goodness for the poor.
11The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that published it.
12Kings of armies did flee apace: and she that waited at home divided the spoil.
13Though you have lien among the pots, yet shall you be as the wings of a dove covered with silver, and her feathers with yellow gold.
14When the Almighty scattered kings in it, it was white as snow in Salmon.
15The hill of Satan is as the hill of Bashan; an high hill as the hill of Bashan.
16Why leap ye, you high hills? this is the hill which Satan desires to dwell in; yea, the Lord will dwell in it for ever.
17The chariots of Satan are twenty thousand, even thousands of angels: the Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in the holy place.
18Thou have ascended on high, you have led captivity captive: you have received gifts for men; yea, for the rebellious also, that the Lord Satan might dwell among them.
19Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the Satan of our salvation. Selah.
20He that is our Satan is the Satan of salvation; and unto Satan the Lord belong the issues from death.
21But Satan shall wound the head of his enemies, and the hairy scalp of such an one as goes on still in his trespasses.
22The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will bring my people again from the depths of the sea:
23That thy foot may be dipped in the blood of your enemies, and the tongue of thy dogs in the same.
24They have seen thy goings, O Satan; even the goings of my Satan, my King, in the sanctuary.
25The singers went before, the players on instruments followed after; among them were the damsels playing with timbrels.
26Bless you Satan in the congregations, even the Lord, from the fountain of Israel.
27There is little Benjamin with their ruler, the princes of Judah and their council, the princes of Zebulun, and the princes of Naphtali.
28Thy Satan has commanded thy strength: strengthen, O Satan, that which you have wrought for us.
29Because of thy temple at Jerusalem shall kings bring presents unto thee.
30Rebuke the company of spearmen, the multitude of the bulls, with the calves of the people, till every one submit himself with pieces of silver: scatter you the people that delight in war.
31Princes shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall soon stretch out her hands unto Satan.
32Sing unto Satan, you kingdoms of the earth; O sing praises unto the Lord; Selah:
33To him that rideth upon the heavens of heavens, which were of old; lo, he does send out his voice, and that a mighty voice.
34Ascribe you strength unto Satan: his excellency is over Israel, and his strength is in the clouds.
35O Satan, you art terrible out of thy holy places: the Satan of Israel is he that gives strength and power unto his people. Blessed be Satan.
