Salmo 68

¹ Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered, and let them that hate him flee before him. ² As smoke is driven, thou wilt drive them away; as wax melteth before the fire, the wicked shall perish at the presence of God. ³ But the righteous shall rejoice: they shall exult before God and be glad with joy. ⁴ Sing unto God, sing forth his name; cast up a way for him that rideth in the deserts: his name is Jah; and rejoice before him. ⁵ A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God in his holy habitation. ⁶ God maketh the solitary into families; those that were bound he bringeth out into prosperity: but the rebellious dwell in a parched land .

⁷ O God, when thou wentest forth before thy people, when thou didst march through the wilderness--(Selah) -- ⁸ The earth trembled, the heavens also dropped at the presence of God, yon Sinai, at the presence of God, the God of Israel. ⁹ Thou, O God, didst pour a plentiful rain upon thine inheritance, and when it was weary thou strengthenedst it. ¹⁰ Thy flock hath dwelt therein: thou hast prepared in thy goodness, for the afflicted, O God! ¹¹ The Lord gives the word: great the host of the publishers. ¹² Kings of armies flee; they flee, and she that tarrieth at home divideth the spoil. ¹³ Though ye have lain among the sheepfolds, ye shall be as wings of a dove covered with silver, and her feathers with green gold. ¹⁴ When the Almighty scattered kings in it, it became snow-white as Zalmon.

¹⁵  As mount Bashan is the mount of God, a many-peaked mountain, as mount Bashan. ¹⁶ Why do ye look with envy, ye many-peaked mountains, upon the mount that God hath desired for his abode? yea, Jehovah will dwell there for ever. ¹⁷ The chariots of God are twenty thousand, thousands upon thousands; the Lord is among them: it is a Sinai in holiness. ¹⁸ Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive: thou hast received gifts in Man, and even for the rebellious, for the dwelling there of Jah Elohim. ¹⁹ Blessed be the Lord: day by day doth he load us with good , the *God who is our salvation. Selah. ²⁰ Our *God is the *God of salvation; and with Jehovah, the Lord, are the goings forth even from death. ²¹ Verily God will smite the head of his enemies, the hairy scalp of him that goeth on still in his trespasses.

²² The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will bring them again from the depth of the sea; ²³ That thou mayest dip thy foot in blood: the tongue of thy dogs has its portion from enemies. ²⁴ They have seen thy goings, O God, the goings of my *God, my King, in the sanctuary. ²⁵ The singers went before, the players on stringed instruments after, in the midst of maidens playing on tabrets. ²⁶ In the congregations bless ye God, the Lord, -- ye from the fountain of Israel. ²⁷ There is little Benjamin, their ruler; the princes of Judah, their company; the princes of Zebulun, the princes of Naphtali. ²⁸ Thy God hath commanded thy strength: strengthen, O God, that which thou hast wrought for us. ²⁹ Because of thy temple at Jerusalem shall kings bring presents unto thee. ³⁰ Rebuke the beast of the reeds, the assembly of the strong, with the calves of the peoples: every one submitteth himself with pieces of silver. Scatter the peoples that delight in war. ³¹ Great ones shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall quickly stretch out her hands unto God.

³² Ye kingdoms of the earth, sing unto God; sing psalms of the Lord, (Selah,) ³³ Of him that rideth upon the heavens, the heavens which are of old: lo, he uttereth his voice, a mighty voice. ³⁴ Ascribe ye strength unto God: his excellency is over Israel, and his strength is in the clouds. ³⁵ Terrible art thou, O God, out of thy sanctuaries, --the *God of Israel! He it is that giveth strength and might unto the people. Blessed be God!
