36 Brenton verses
Let God arise, and let his enemies be scattered; and let them that hate him flee from before him.
Αναστήτω ὁ Θεὸς, καὶ διασκορπισθήτωσαν οἱ ἐχθροὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ φυγέτωσαν οἱ μισοῦντες αὐτὸν ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτοῦ.
As smoke vanishes, let them vanish: as wax melts before the fire, so let the sinners perish from before God.
Ὡς ἐκλείπει καπνὸς, ἐκλιπέτωσαν· ὡς τήκεται κηρὸς ἀπὸ προσώπου πυρὸς, οὕτως ἀπόλοιντο οἱ ἁμαρτωλοὶ ἀπὸ προσώπου τοῦ Θεοῦ.
But let the righteous rejoice; let them exult before God: let them be delighted with joy.
Καὶ οἱ δίκαιοι εὐφρανθήτωσαν· ἀγαλλιάσθωσαν ἐνώπιον τοῦ Θεοῦ, τερφθήτωσαν ἐν εὐφροσύνῃ.
Sing to God, sing praises to his name: make a way for him that rides upon the west (the Lord is his name) and exult before him. They shall be troubled before the face of him,
Ἄσατε τῷ Θεῷ, ψάλατε τῷ ὀνόματι αὐτοῦ, ὁδοποιήσατε τῷ ἐπιβεβηκότι ἐπὶ δυσμῶν, Κύριος ὄνομα αὐτῷ, καὶ ἀγαλλιᾶσθε ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ.
who is the father of the orphans, and judge of the widows: such is God in his holy place.

God settles the solitary in a house; leading forth prisoners mightily, also them that act provokingly, even them that dwell in tombs.

O God, when thou wentest forth before thy people, when thou wentest through the wilderness; Pause:
Ὁ Θεὸς, ἐν τῷ ἐκπορεύεσθαί σε ἐνώπιον τοῦ λαοῦ σου, ἐν τῷ διαβαίνειν σε τὴν ἔρημον· διάψαλμα·
the earth quaked, yea, the heavens dropped water at the presence of the God of Sina, at the presence of the God of Israel.
Γῆ ἐσείσθη, καὶ γὰρ οἱ οὐρανοὶ ἔσταξαν ἀπὸ προσώπου τοῦ Θεοῦ τοῦ Σινὰ, ἀπὸ προσώπου τοῦ Θεοῦ Ἰσραήλ.
O God, thou wilt grant to thine inheritance a gracious rain; for it was weary, but thou didst refresh it.
Βροχὴν ἑκούσιον ἀφοριεῖς ὁ Θεὸς τῇ κληρονομίᾳ σου· καὶ ἠσθένησε, σὺ δὲ κατηρτίσω αὐτήν.
Thy creatures dwell in it: thou hast in thy goodness prepared for the poor.
