68:32 Sing unto G.o.d, ye kingdoms of the earth; O sing praises unto the Lord; Selah:

68:33 To him that rideth upon the heavens of heavens, which were of old; lo, he doth send out his voice, and that a mighty voice.

68:34 Ascribe ye strength unto G.o.d: his excellency is over Israel, and his strength is in the clouds.

69:6 Let not them that wait on thee, O Lord G.o.d of hosts, be ashamed for my sake: let not those that seek thee be confounded for my sake, O G.o.d of Israel.

69:7 Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; shame hath covered my face.
