Psalms 68:21–25 · Berean Standard Bible

21 Surely God will crush the heads of His enemies, the hairy crowns of those who persist in guilty ways.

22 The Lord said, “I will retrieve them from Bashan, I will bring them up from the depths of the sea,

23 that your foot may be dipped in the blood of your foes— the tongues of your dogs in the same.”

24 They have seen Your procession, O God— the march of my God and King into the sanctuary.

25 The singers lead the way, the musicians follow after, among the maidens playing tambourines.
