# Chapter 68
|
|
1 Let God arise,
|
|
Let His enemies be scattered;
|
|
Let those also who hate Him flee before Him.
|
|
2 As smoke is driven away,
|
|
So drive them away;
|
|
As wax melts before the fire,
|
|
So let the wicked perish at the presence of God.
|
|
3 But let the righteous be glad;
|
|
Let them rejoice before God;
|
|
Yes, let them rejoice exceedingly.
|
|
4 Sing to God, sing praises to His name;
|
|
Extol Him who rides on the clouds,
|
|
By His name Yah,
|
|
And rejoice before Him.
|
|
5 A father of the fatherless, a defender of widows,
|
|
Is God in His holy habitation.
|
|
6 God sets the solitary in families;
|
|
He brings out those who are bound into prosperity;
|
|
But the rebellious dwell in a dry land.
|
|
7 O God, when You went out before Your people,
|
|
When You marched through the wilderness, Selah
|
|
8 The earth shook;
|
|
The heavens also dropped rain at the presence of God;
|
|
Sinai itself was moved at the presence of God, the God of Israel.
|
|
9 You, O God, sent a plentiful rain,
|
|
Whereby You confirmed Your inheritance,
|
|
When it was weary.
|
|
10 Your congregation dwelt in it;
|
|
You, O God, provided from Your goodness for the poor.
|
|
11 The Lord gave the word;
|
|
Great was the company of those who proclaimed it:
|
|
12 “Kings of armies flee, they flee,
|
|
And she who remains at home divides the spoil.
|
|
13 Though you lie down among the sheepfolds,
|
|
You will be like the wings of a dove covered with silver,
|
|
And her feathers with yellow gold.”
|
|
14 When the Almighty scattered kings in it,
|
|
It was white as snow in Zalmon.
|
|
15 A mountain of God is the mountain of Bashan;
|
|
A mountain of many peaks is the mountain of Bashan.
|
|
16 Why do you fume with envy, you mountains of many peaks?
|
|
This is the mountain which God desires to dwell in;
|
|
Yes, the Lord will dwell in it forever.
|
|
17 The chariots of God are twenty thousand,
|
|
Even thousands of thousands;
|
|
The Lord is among them as in Sinai, in the Holy Place.
|
|
18 You have ascended on high,
|
|
You have led captivity captive;
|
|
You have received gifts among men,
|
|
Even from the rebellious,
|
|
That the Lord God might dwell there.
|
|
19 Blessed be the Lord,
|
|
Who daily loads us with benefits,
|
|
The God of our salvation! Selah
|
|
20 Our God is the God of salvation;
|
|
And to God the Lord belong escapes from death.
|
|
21 But God will wound the head of His enemies,
|
|
The hairy scalp of the one who still goes on in his trespasses.
|
|
22 The Lord said, “I will bring back from Bashan,
|
|
I will bring them back from the depths of the sea,
|
|
23 That your foot may crush them in blood,
|
|
And the tongues of your dogs may have their portion from your enemies.”
|
|
24 They have seen Your procession, O God,
|
|
The procession of my God, my King, into the sanctuary.
|
|
25 The singers went before, the players on instruments followed after;
|
|
Among them were the maidens playing timbrels.
|
|
26 Bless God in the congregations,
|
|
The Lord, from the fountain of Israel.
|
|
27 There is little Benjamin, their leader,
|
|
The princes of Judah and their company,
|
|
The princes of Zebulun and the princes of Naphtali.
|
|
28 Your God has commanded your strength;
|
|
Strengthen, O God, what You have done for us.
|
|
29 Because of Your temple at Jerusalem,
|
|
Kings will bring presents to You.
|
|
30 Rebuke the beasts of the reeds,
|
|
The herd of bulls with the calves of the peoples,
|
|
Till everyone submits himself with pieces of silver.
|
|
Scatter the peoples who delight in war.
|
|
31 Envoys will come out of Egypt;
|
|
Ethiopia will quickly stretch out her hands to God.
|
|
32 Sing to God, you kingdoms of the earth;
|
|
Oh, sing praises to the Lord, Selah
|
|
33 To Him who rides on the heaven of heavens, which were of old!
|
|
Indeed, He sends out His voice, a mighty voice.
|
|
34 Ascribe strength to God;
|
|
His excellence is over Israel,
|
|
And His strength is in the clouds.
|
|
35 O God, You are more awesome than Your holy places.
|
|
The God of Israel is He who gives strength and power to His people.
|
|
Blessed be God! |
