24 We have seen crowds marchingto your place of worship,our God and King.
25 The singers come first,and then the musicians,surrounded by young womenplaying tambourines.
26 They come shouting,“People of Israel,praise the Lord God!”
27 The small tribe of Benjaminleads the way,followed by the leadersfrom Judah.Then come the leadersfrom Zebulun and Naphtali.
28 Our God, show your strength!Show us once again.
29 Then kings will bring giftsto your templein Jerusalem.
30 Punish that animalthat lives in the swamp!Punish that nationwhose leaders and peopleare like wild bulls.Make them come crawlingwith gifts of silver.Scatter those nationsthat enjoy making war.
