Psalm 68:30-32
Contemporary English Version
Psalm 68:30-32
Contemporary English Version
30 Punish that animal
that lives in the swamp![a]
Punish that nation
whose leaders and people
are like wild bulls.
Make them come crawling
with gifts of silver.
Scatter those nations
that enjoy making war.[b]
31 Force the Egyptians to bring
gifts of bronze;
make the Ethiopians[c] hurry
to offer presents.[d]
32 Now sing praises to God!
Every kingdom on earth,
sing to the Lord!
