17. God's chariots twenty thousand are,thousands of angels strong;In's holy place God is, as inmount Sinai, them among.

18. Thou hast, O Lord, most glorious,ascended up on high;And in triumph victorious ledcaptive captivity:Thou hast received gifts for men,for such as did rebel;Yea, ev'n for them, that God the Lordin midst of them might dwell.

19. Blessed be the Lord, who is to usof our salvation God;Who daily with his benefitsus plenteously doth load.

20. He of salvation is the God,who is our God most strong;And unto God the Lord from deaththe issues do belong.

21. But surely God shall wound the headof those that are his foes;The hairy scalp of him that stillon in his trespass goes.

22. God said, My people I will bringagain from Bashan hill;Yea, from the sea's devouring depthsthem bring again I will;

23. That in the blood of enemiesthy foot imbrued may be,And of thy dogs dipped in the samethe tongues thou mayest see.

24. Thy goings they have seen, O God;the steps of majestyOf my God, and my mighty King,within the sanctuary.

25. Before went singers, players nexton instruments took way;And them among the damsels werethat did on timbrels play.

26. Within the congregationsbless God with one accord:From Isr'el's fountain do ye blessand praise the mighty Lord.
