Psalm 68
<\/strong>The Lord\u2019s triumphant entrance into his sanctuary<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ascending on high he led captivity captive, and gave gifts to men<\/em> (Ephesians 4:10).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let God arise, let his foes be scattered. *
Let those who hate him flee before him.
As smoke is blown away so will they be blown away; \u2020
like wax that melts before the fire, *
so the wicked shall perish at the presence of God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the just shall rejoice at the presence of God, *
they shall exult and dance for joy.
O sing to the Lord, make music to his name; \u2020
make a highway for him who rides on the clouds. *
Rejoice in the Lord, exult at his presence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Father of the orphan, defender of the widow, *
such is God in his holy place.
God gives the lonely a home to live in; \u2020
he leads the prisoners forth into freedom: *
but rebels must dwell in a parched land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you went forth, O God, at the head of your people, *
when you marched across the desert, the earth trembled:
the heavens melted at the presence of God, *
at the presence of God, Israel\u2019s God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You poured down, O God, a generous rain: *
when your people were starved you gave them new life.
It was there that your people found a home, *
prepared in your goodness, O God, for the poor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, *
and to the Holy Spirit:
as it was in the beginning, is now, *
and will be for ever. Amen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ant. Let God arise, let his enemies flee before him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ant. 2 Our God is a saving God; he, the Lord, holds the keys of death.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":12261,"template":"","rizors":[],"yoast_head":"\nat the presence of God, Israel\u2019s God - Behold<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/behold.mt\/en\/talba-bis-salmi\/at-the-presence-of-god-israels-god\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"at the presence of God, Israel\u2019s God - Behold\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Office of the Reading, Tuesday 17 December 2024 Psalm 68The Lord\u2019s triumphant entrance into his sanctuary Ascending on high he led captivity captive, and gave gifts to men (Ephesians 4:10).
