The wicked will perish |a|before God.

The princes of |3c|Zebulun, the princes of |4d|Naphtali.

Psa.|68:29|-|Because of Your temple at Jerusalem,|1|Kings will bring a |a|gift to You.
Psa.|68:30|-|Rebuke the |1|animals of the reeds,The herd of the bulls among the calves of the peoples,
Trampling on those who lust after silver;Scatter the |2|peoples who take delight in war.
Psa.|68:31|-|Nobles will come out of |a|Egypt;|1b|Cush will quickly stretch out its hands to God.
Psa.|68:32|-|O |a|kingdoms of the |b|earth,Sing to God,
Sing psalms to the Lord, Selah
Psa.|68:33|-|To Him who rides upon the ancient |a|heaven of heavens.Behold, He utters His voice, a mighty voice.

And His strength is in the skies.

Blessed be God!
