  • Psalm 68:1–19

    God Shall Scatter His Enemies

    To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. A Song.

    68:1   God shall arise, his enemies shall be scattered;
        and those who hate him shall flee before him!
    2   As smoke is driven away, so you shall drive them away;
        as wax melts before fire,
        so the wicked shall perish before God!
    3   But the righteous shall be glad;
        they shall exult before God;
        they shall be jubilant with joy!
    4   Sing to God, sing praises to his name;
        lift up a song to him who rides through the deserts;
      his name is the LORD;
        exult before him!
    5   Father of the fatherless and protector of widows
        is God in his holy habitation.
    6   God settles the solitary in a home;
        he leads out the prisoners to prosperity,
        but the rebellious dwell in a parched land.
    7   O God, when you went out before your people,
        when you marched through the wilderness, Selah
    8   the earth quaked, the heavens poured down rain,
        before God, the One of Sinai,
        before God, the God of Israel.
    9   Rain in abundance, O God, you shed abroad;
        you restored your inheritance as it languished;
    10   your flock found a dwelling in it;
        in your goodness, O God, you provided for the needy.
    11   The Lord gives the word;
        the women who announce the news are a great host:
    12     “The kings of the armies—they flee, they flee!”
      The women at home divide the spoil—
    13     though you men lie among the sheepfolds—
      the wings of a dove covered with silver,
        its pinions with shimmering gold.
    14   When the Almighty scatters kings there,
        let snow fall on Zalmon.
    15   O mountain of God, mountain of Bashan;
        O many-peaked mountain, mountain of Bashan!
    16   Why do you look with hatred, O many-peaked mountain,
        at the mount that God desired for his abode,
        yes, where the LORD will dwell forever?
    17   The chariots of God are twice ten thousand,
        thousands upon thousands;
        the Lord is among them; Sinai is now in the sanctuary.
    18   You ascended on high,
        leading a host of captives in your train
        and receiving gifts among men,
      even among the rebellious, that the LORD God may dwell there.
    19   Blessed be the Lord,
        who daily bears us up;
        God is our salvation. Selah

    Ephesians 4:1–8

    Unity in the Body of Christ

    4:1 I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, 2 with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, 3 eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. 4 There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call—5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6 one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. 7 But grace was given to each one of us according to the measure of Christ’s gift. 8 Therefore it says,

      “When he ascended on high he led a host of captives,
        and he gave gifts to men.”
