Ps 68

TTo the chief Musician, A Psalm or Song of David. Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered: let them also that hate him flee before him. (MT 68:2; LXX 67:1; LXX 67:2; Rahlfs 67:1; Rahlfs 67:2) לַמְנַצֵּ֥חַ לְדָוִ֗ד מִזְמ֥וֹר שִֽׁיר׃ 2As smoke is driven away, so drive them away: as wax melteth before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God. (MT 68:3; LXX 67:3; Rahlfs 67:3) יָק֣וּם אֱ֭לֹהִים יָפ֣וּצוּ אוֹיְבָ֑יו וְיָנ֥וּסוּ מְ֝שַׂנְאָ֗יו מִפָּנָֽיו׃ 3But let the righteous be glad; let them rejoice before God: yea, let them exceedingly rejoice. (MT 68:4; LXX 67:4; Rahlfs 67:4) כְּהִנְדֹּ֥ף עָשָׁ֗ן תִּ֫נְדֹּ֥ף כְּהִמֵּ֣ס דּ֭וֹנַג מִפְּנֵי־אֵ֑שׁ יֹאבְד֥וּ רְ֝שָׁעִ֗ים מִפְּנֵ֥י אֱלֹהִֽים׃ 4Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth upon the heavens by his name Jah, and rejoice before him. (MT 68:5; LXX 67:5; Rahlfs 67:5) וְֽצַדִּיקִ֗ים יִשְׂמְח֣וּ יַֽ֭עַלְצוּ לִפְנֵ֥י אֱלֹהִ֗ים וְיָשִׂ֥ישׂוּ בְשִׂמְחָֽה׃ 5A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God in his holy habitation. (MT 68:6; LXX 67:6; Rahlfs 67:6) שִׁ֤ירוּ ׀ לֵֽאלֹהִים֮ זַמְּר֪וּ שְׁ֫מ֥וֹ סֹ֡לּוּ לָרֹכֵ֣ב בָּ֭עֲרָבוֹת בְּיָ֥הּ שְׁמ֗וֹ וְעִלְז֥וּ לְפָנָֽיו׃ 6God setteth the solitary in families: he bringeth out those which are bound with chains: but the rebellious dwell in a dry land. (MT 68:7; LXX 67:7; Rahlfs 67:7) אֲבִ֣י יְ֭תוֹמִים וְדַיַּ֣ן אַלְמָנ֑וֹת אֱ֝לֹהִ֗ים בִּמְע֥וֹן קָדְשֽׁוֹ׃ 7O God, when thou wentest forth before thy people, when thou didst march through the wilderness; Selah: (MT 68:8; LXX 67:8; Rahlfs 67:8) אֱלֹהִ֤ים ׀ מ֘וֹשִׁ֤יב יְחִידִ֨ים ׀ בַּ֗יְתָה מוֹצִ֣יא אֲ֭סִירִים בַּכּוֹשָׁר֑וֹת אַ֥ךְ ס֝וֹרֲרִ֗ים שָׁכְנ֥וּ צְחִיחָֽה׃ 8The 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. (MT 68:9; LXX 67:9; Rahlfs 67:9) אֱֽלֹהִ֗ים בְּ֭צֵאתְךָ לִפְנֵ֣י עַמֶּ֑ךָ בְּצַעְדְּךָ֖ בִֽישִׁימ֣וֹן סֶֽלָה׃ 9Thou, O God, didst send a plentiful rain, whereby thou didst confirm thine inheritance, when it was weary. (MT 68:10; LXX 67:10; Rahlfs 67:10) אֶ֤רֶץ רָעָ֨שָׁה ׀ אַף־שָׁמַ֣יִם נָטְפוּ֮ מִפְּנֵ֪י אֱלֹ֫הִ֥ים זֶ֥ה סִינַ֑י מִפְּנֵ֥י אֱ֝לֹהִ֗ים אֱלֹהֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ 10Thy congregation hath dwelt therein: thou, O God, hast prepared of thy goodness for the poor. (MT 68:11; LXX 67:11; Rahlfs 67:11) גֶּ֣שֶׁם נְ֭דָבוֹת תָּנִ֣יף אֱלֹהִ֑ים נַחֲלָתְךָ֥ וְ֝נִלְאָ֗ה אַתָּ֥ה כֽוֹנַנְתָּֽהּ׃ 11The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that published it. (MT 68:12; LXX 67:12; Rahlfs 67:12) חַיָּתְךָ֥ יָֽשְׁבוּ־בָ֑הּ תָּ֤כִ֥ין בְּטוֹבָתְךָ֖ לֶעָנִ֣י אֱלֹהִֽים׃ 12Kings of armies did flee apace: and she that tarried at home divided the spoil. (MT 68:13; LXX 67:13; Rahlfs 67:13) אֲדֹנָ֥י יִתֶּן־אֹ֑מֶר הַֽ֝מְבַשְּׂר֗וֹת צָבָ֥א רָֽב׃ 13Though 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. (MT 68:14; LXX 67:14; Rahlfs 67:14) מַלְכֵ֣י צְ֭בָאוֹת יִדֹּד֣וּן יִדֹּד֑וּן וּנְוַת בַּ֝֗יִת תְּחַלֵּ֥ק שָׁלָֽל׃ 14When the Almighty scattered kings in it, it was white as snow in Salmon. (MT 68:15; LXX 67:15; Rahlfs 67:15) אִֽם־תִּשְׁכְּבוּן֮ בֵּ֪ין שְׁפַ֫תָּ֥יִם כַּנְפֵ֣י י֭וֹנָה נֶחְפָּ֣ה בַכֶּ֑סֶף וְ֝אֶבְרוֹתֶ֗יהָ בִּֽירַקְרַ֥ק חָרֽוּץ׃ 15The hill of God is as the hill of Bashan; an high hill as the hill of Bashan. (MT 68:16; LXX 67:16; Rahlfs 67:16) בְּפָ֘רֵ֤שׂ שַׁדַּ֓י מְלָ֘כִ֤ים בָּ֗הּ תַּשְׁלֵ֥ג בְּצַלְמֽוֹן׃ 16Why leap ye, ye high hills? this is the hill which God desireth to dwell in; yea, the Lord will dwell in it for ever. (MT 68:17; LXX 67:17; Rahlfs 67:17) הַר־אֱ֭לֹהִים הַר־בָּשָׁ֑ן הַ֥ר גַּ֝בְנֻנִּ֗ים הַר־בָּשָֽׁן׃ 17The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands of angels: the Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in the holy place. (MT 68:18; LXX 67:18; Rahlfs 67:18) לָ֤מָּה ׀ תְּֽרַצְּדוּן֮ הָרִ֪ים גַּבְנֻ֫נִּ֥ים הָהָ֗ר חָמַ֣ד אֱלֹהִ֣ים לְשִׁבְתּ֑וֹ אַף־יְ֝הוָ֗ה יִשְׁכֹּ֥ן לָנֶֽצַח׃ 18Thou 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. (MT 68:19; LXX 67:19; Rahlfs 67:19) רֶ֤כֶב אֱלֹהִ֗ים רִבֹּתַ֣יִם אַלְפֵ֣י שִׁנְאָ֑ן אֲדֹנָ֥י בָ֝֗ם סִינַ֥י בַּקֹּֽדֶשׁ׃ 19Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah. (MT 68:20; LXX 67:20; Rahlfs 67:20) עָ֘לִ֤יתָ לַמָּר֨וֹם ׀ שָׁ֘בִ֤יתָ שֶּׁ֗בִי לָקַ֣חְתָּ מַ֭תָּנוֹת בָּאָדָ֑ם וְאַ֥ף ס֝וֹרְרִ֗ים לִשְׁכֹּ֤ן ׀ יָ֬הּ אֱלֹהִֽים׃ 20He that is our God is the God of salvation; and unto GOD the Lord belong the issues from death. (MT 68:21; LXX 67:21; Rahlfs 67:21) בָּ֤ר֣וּךְ אֲדֹנָי֮ י֤וֹם ׀ י֥וֹם יַֽעֲמָס־לָ֗נוּ הָ֘אֵ֤ל יְֽשׁוּעָתֵ֬נוּ סֶֽלָה׃ 21But God shall wound the head of his enemies, and the hairy scalp of such an one as goeth on still in his trespasses. (MT 68:22; LXX 67:22; Rahlfs 67:22) הָ֤אֵ֣ל ׀ לָנוּ֮ אֵ֤ל לְֽמוֹשָׁ֫ע֥וֹת וְלֵיהוִ֥ה אֲדֹנָ֑י לַ֝מָּ֗וֶת תּוֹצָאֽוֹת׃ 22The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will bring my people again from the depths of the sea: (MT 68:23; LXX 67:23; Rahlfs 67:23) אַךְ־אֱלֹהִ֗ים יִמְחַץ֮ רֹ֤אשׁ אֹ֫יְבָ֥יו קָדְקֹ֥ד שֵׂעָ֑ר מִ֝תְהַלֵּ֗ךְ בַּאֲשָׁמָֽיו׃ 23That thy foot may be dipped in the blood of thine enemies, and the tongue of thy dogs in the same. (MT 68:24; LXX 67:24; Rahlfs 67:24) אָמַ֣ר אֲ֭דֹנָי מִבָּשָׁ֣ן אָשִׁ֑יב אָ֝שִׁ֗יב מִֽמְּצֻל֥וֹת יָֽם׃ 24They have seen thy goings, O God; even the goings of my God, my King, in the sanctuary. (MT 68:25; LXX 67:25; Rahlfs 67:25) לְמַ֤עַן ׀ תִּֽמְחַ֥ץ רַגְלְךָ֗ בְּ֫דָ֥ם לְשׁ֥וֹן כְּלָבֶ֑יךָ מֵאֹיְבִ֥ים מִנֵּֽהוּ׃ 25The singers went before, the players on instruments followed after; among them were the damsels playing with timbrels. (MT 68:26; LXX 67:26; Rahlfs 67:26) רָא֣וּ הֲלִיכוֹתֶ֣יךָ אֱלֹהִ֑ים הֲלִ֘יכ֤וֹת אֵלִ֖י מַלְכִּ֣י בַקֹּֽדֶשׁ׃ 26Bless ye God in the congregations, even the Lord, from the fountain of Israel. (MT 68:27; LXX 67:27; Rahlfs 67:27) קִדְּמ֣וּ שָׁ֭רִים אַחַ֣ר נֹגְנִ֑ים בְּת֥וֹךְ עֲ֝לָמ֗וֹת תּוֹפֵפֽוֹת׃ 27There is little Benjamin with their ruler, the princes of Judah and their council, the princes of Zebulun, and the princes of Naphtali. (MT 68:28; LXX 67:28; Rahlfs 67:28) בְּֽ֭מַקְהֵלוֹת בָּרְכ֣וּ אֱלֹהִ֑ים יְ֝הוָ֗ה מִמְּק֥וֹר יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ 28Thy God hath commanded thy strength: strengthen, O God, that which thou hast wrought for us. (MT 68:29; LXX 67:29; Rahlfs 67:29) שָׁ֤ם בִּנְיָמִ֨ן ׀ צָעִ֡יר רֹדֵ֗ם שָׂרֵ֣י יְ֭הוּדָה רִגְמָתָ֑ם שָׂרֵ֥י זְ֝בֻל֗וּן שָׂרֵ֥י נַפְתָּלִֽי׃ 29Because of thy temple at Jerusalem shall kings bring presents unto thee. (MT 68:30; LXX 67:30; Rahlfs 67:30) צִוָּ֥ה אֱלֹהֶ֗יךָ עֻ֫זֶּ֥ךָ עוּזָּ֥ה אֱלֹהִ֑ים ז֝֗וּ פָּעַ֥לְתָּ לָּֽנוּ׃ 30Rebuke the company of spearmen, the multitude of the bulls, with the calves of the people, till every one submit himself with pieces of silver: scatter thou the people that delight in war. (MT 68:31; LXX 67:31; Rahlfs 67:31) מֵֽ֭הֵיכָלֶךָ עַל־יְרוּשָׁלִָ֑ם לְךָ֤ יוֹבִ֖ילוּ מְלָכִ֣ים שָֽׁי׃ 31Princes shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall soon stretch out her hands unto God. (MT 68:32; LXX 67:32; Rahlfs 67:32) גְּעַ֨ר חַיַּ֪ת קָנֶ֡ה עֲדַ֤ת אַבִּירִ֨ים ׀ בְּעֶגְלֵ֬י עַמִּ֗ים מִתְרַפֵּ֥ס בְּרַצֵּי־כָ֑סֶף בִּזַּ֥ר עַ֝מִּ֗ים קְרָב֥וֹת יֶחְפָּֽצוּ׃ 32Sing unto God, ye kingdoms of the earth; O sing praises unto the Lord; Selah: (MT 68:33; LXX 67:33; Rahlfs 67:33) יֶאֱתָ֣יוּ חַ֭שְׁמַנִּים מִנִּ֣י מִצְרָ֑יִם כּ֥וּשׁ תָּרִ֥יץ יָ֝דָ֗יו לֵאלֹהִֽים׃ 33To him that rideth upon the heavens of heavens, which were of old; lo, he doth send out his voice, and that a mighty voice. (MT 68:34; LXX 67:34; Rahlfs 67:34) מַמְלְכ֣וֹת הָ֭אָרֶץ שִׁ֣ירוּ לֵאלֹהִ֑ים זַמְּר֖וּ אֲדֹנָ֣י סֶֽלָה׃ 34Ascribe ye strength unto God: his excellency is over Israel, and his strength is in the clouds. (MT 68:35; LXX 67:35; Rahlfs 67:35) לָ֭רֹכֵב בִּשְׁמֵ֣י שְׁמֵי־קֶ֑דֶם הֵ֥ן יִתֵּ֥ן בְּ֝קוֹלוֹ ק֣וֹל עֹֽז׃ 35O God, thou art terrible out of thy holy places: the God of Israel is he that giveth strength and power unto his people. Blessed be God. (MT 68:36; LXX 67:36; Rahlfs 67:36) תְּנ֥וּ עֹ֗ז לֵֽאלֹ֫הִ֥ים עַֽל־יִשְׂרָאֵ֥ל גַּאֲוָת֑וֹ וְ֝עֻזּ֗וֹ בַּשְּׁחָקִֽים׃
