Song Lyrics

Biblical Reference

Be still, all ye enemies of Jah
And know that the Lord God Jah the Almighty
Shall wound the head of his enemies
Psalm 46:10 - Be still, and know that I am God:
I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be
exalted in the earth.
Psalm 68:21 - But God shall wound the head of his
enemies, and the hairy scalp of such an one as
goeth on still in his trespasses.
JAH Rastafari Haile Selassie the First
 
Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered
Let them also that hate him flee before him
As smoke is driven away, so drive them away
As wax melteth before the fire
So let the wicked perish at the presence of God
O, let the righteous be glad
Let them rejoice before God yea
Let them exceedingly rejoice
Sing unto God, sing praises to his Name
Extol him that rideth upon the heavens
By his Name JAH Rastafari Haile Selassie the First
Our Father, strength and redeemer
Who lives and rules and reigns over all things
A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows
Is God in his holy habitation
Psalm 68:1-5 - Let God arise, let his enemies be
scattered: let them also that hate him flee before
him. As smoke is driven away, so drive them away:
as wax melteth before the fire, so let the wicked
perish at the presence of God. But let the righteous
be glad; let them rejoice before God: yea, let them
exceedingly rejoice. Sing unto God, sing praises to
his name: extol him that rideth upon the heavens by
his name JAH, and rejoice before him. A father of
the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God
in his holy habitation.
God setteth the solitary in families
He bringeth out those which are bound with chains
For the rebellious dwell in Jah land
O God JAH Rastafari Haile Selassie
Our Father, strength and redeemer
When thou wentest forth before thy people
When thou did march through the wilderness, Selah
The earth shook, the heavens also dropped
At the presence of God
Even Sinai itself was moved at the presence of God
Jah Rastafari Haile Selassie the First
The God of Israel
Thou, O God Jah Rastafari Haile Selassie
Our Father strength and redeemer
Didst send a plentiful rain
Whereby thou didst confirm thy inheritance
When it was weary
Thy congregation hath dwelt therein
Thou, O God Jah Rastafari Haile Selassie
Our Father strength and redeemer
Hast prepared of thy goodness for the poor
Psalm 68:6-10 - God setteth the solitary in
families: he bringeth out those which are bound
with chains: but the rebellious dwell in a dry
land. O God, when thou wentest forth before thy
people, when thou didst march through the
wilderness; Selah: The earth shook, the heavens
also dropped at the presence of God: even Sinai
itself was moved at the presence of God, the God
of Israel. Thou, O God, didst send a plentiful
rain, whereby thou didst confirm thine
inheritance, when it was weary. Thy congregation
hath dwelt therein: thou, O God, hast prepared of
thy goodness for the poor.
The Lord God Jah the Almighty
Our Father strength and redeemer
Gave the word; great was the company
Of those that published it
Kings of armies did flee apace
And she that tarried at home divided the spoil
Though ye have lien among the pots, yet shall ye be
As the wings of a dove covered with silver
And her feathers with yellow gold.
When the Almighty God Jah Rastafari
Our Father strength and redeemer
Scattered kings in it, it was white as snow in Salmon.
The hill of God Jah Rastafari Haile Selassie
Our Father stremgth and redeemer, is as the hill of Bashan
Why leap ye, ye high hills? this is the hill
Which God Jah Rastafari Haile Selassie the First
Desireth to dwell in. Yea, the LORD God Jah the Almighty
Our Father strength and redeemer will dwell in it for Iver
Psalm 68:11-16 - The Lord gave the word: great was the
company of those that published it. Kings of armies did
flee apace: and she that tarried at home divided the spoil.
Though ye have lien among the pots, yet shall ye be as the
wings of a dove covered with silver, and her feathers with
yellow gold. When the Almighty scattered kings in it, it
was white as snow in Salmon. The hill of God is as the hill
of Bashan; an high hill as the hill of Bashan. Why leap ye,
ye high hills? this is the hill which God desireth to dwell
in; yea, the LORD will dwell in it for ever.
The chariots of God are twenty thousand
Even thousands of angels:
The Lord God Jah the Almighty Haile Selassie
Our Father strength and redeemer
Is among them, as in Sinai, in the holy place
Thou hast ascended on high
Thou hast led captivity captive:
Thou hast received gifts for men
Yea, for the rebellious also,]
That the LORD God Jah the Almighty Haile Selassie
Our Father strength and redeemer might dwell among them
Blessed be the Almighty God Jah Rastafari Haile Selassie
Our Father strength and redeemer
Who daily loadeth us with benefits
Even the God of our salvation. Selah
He that is our God is the God of salvation
And unto GOD Jah Rastafari Haile Selassie
Our Father strength and redeemer the Lord
Belong the issues from death
But God Jah Rastafari Haile Selassie
Our Father strength and redeemer shall wound the head
Of his enemies and the hairy scalp of such an one
As goeth on still in his trespasses
Psalm 68:17-21 - The chariots of God are twenty
thousand, even thousands of angels: the Lord is among
them, as in Sinai, in the holy place. Thou hast ascended
on high, thou hast led captivity captive: thou hast
received gifts for men; yea, for the rebellious also,
that the LORD God might dwell among them. Blessed be the
Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God
of our salvation. Selah. He that is our God is the God
of salvation; and unto GOD the Lord belong the issues
from death. But God shall wound the head of his enemies,
and the hairy scalp of such an one as goeth on still in
his trespasses.
