Psalms 68:28
26 Bless God in the great congregation; bless the LORD from the fountain of Israel.
27 There is Benjamin, the youngest, ruling them, the princes of Judah in their company, the princes of Zebulun and of Naphtali.
Summon Your power, O God; show Your strength, O God, which You have exerted on our behalf.
29 Because of Your temple at Jerusalem kings will bring You gifts.
30 Rebuke the beast in the reeds, the herd of bulls among the calves of the nations, until it submits, bringing bars of silver. Scatter the nations who delight in war.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
