Psalms 68

1Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered: let them also that hate him flee before him.

יָקוּם אֱלֹהִים יָפוּצוּ אֹויְבָיו וְיָנוּסוּ מְשַׂנְאָיו מִפָּנָיו׃ (1200)

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.

כְּהִנְדֹּף עָשָׁן תִּנְדֹּף כְּהִמֵּס דֹּונַג מִפְּנֵי־אֵשׁ יֹאבְדוּ רְשָׁעִים מִפְּנֵי אֱלֹהִים׃ (2691)

3But let the righteous be glad; let them rejoice before God: yea, let them exceedingly rejoice.

וְצַדִּיקִים יִשְׂמְחוּ יַעַלְצוּ לִפְנֵי אֱלֹהִים וְיָשִׂישׂוּ בְשִׂמְחָה׃ (2073)

4Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth upon the heavens by his name JAH, and rejoice before him.

שִׁירוּ ׀ לֵאלֹהִים זַמְּרוּ שְׁמֹו סֹלּוּ לָרֹכֵב בָּעֲרָבֹות בְּיָהּ שְׁמֹו וְעִלְזוּ לְפָנָיו׃ (2917)

5A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God in his holy habitation.

אֲבִי יְתֹומִים וְדַיַּן אַלְמָנֹות אֱלֹהִים בִּמְעֹון קָדְשֹׁו׃ (1780)

6God setteth the solitary in families: he bringeth out those which are bound with chains: but the rebellious dwell in a dry land.

אֱלֹהִים ׀ מֹושִׁיב יְחִידִים ׀ בַּיְתָה מֹוצִיא אֲסִירִים בַּכֹּושָׁרֹות אַךְ סֹורֲרִים שָׁכְנוּ צְחִיחָה׃ (3379)

7O God, when thou wentest forth before thy people, when thou didst march through the wilderness; Selah:

אֱ‍לֹהִים בְּצֵאתְךָ לִפְנֵי עַמֶּךָ בְּצַעְדְּךָ בִישִׁימֹון סֶלָה׃ (1598)

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.

אֶרֶץ רָעָשָׁה ׀ אַף־שָׁמַיִם נָטְפוּ מִפְּנֵי אֱלֹהִים זֶה סִינַי מִפְּנֵי אֱלֹהִים אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל׃ (2743)

9Thou, O God, didst send a plentiful rain, whereby thou didst confirm thine inheritance, when it was weary.

גֶּשֶׁם נְדָבֹות תָּנִיף אֱלֹהִים נַחֲלָתְךָ וְנִלְאָה אַתָּה כֹונַנְתָּהּ׃ (2968)

10Thy congregation hath dwelt therein: thou, O God, hast prepared of thy goodness for the poor.

חַיָּתְךָ יָשְׁבוּ־בָהּ תָּכִין בְּטֹובָתְךָ לֶעָנִי אֱלֹהִים׃ (1928)

11The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that published it.

אֲדֹנָי יִתֶּן־אֹמֶר הַמְבַשְּׂרֹות צָבָא רָב׃ (2014)

12Kings of armies did flee apace: and she that tarried at home divided the spoil.

מַלְכֵי צְבָאֹות יִדֹּדוּן יִדֹּדוּן וּנְוַת בַּיִת תְּחַלֵּק שָׁלָל׃ (2519)

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.

אִם־תִּשְׁכְּבוּן בֵּין שְׁפַתָּיִם כַּנְפֵי יֹונָה נֶחְפָּה בַכֶּסֶף וְאֶבְרֹותֶיהָ בִּירַקְרַק חָרוּץ׃ (3793)

14When the Almighty scattered kings in it, it was white as snow in Salmon.

בְּפָרֵשׂ שַׁדַּי מְלָכִים בָּהּ תַּשְׁלֵג בְּצַלְמֹון׃ (1994)

15The hill of God is as the hill of Bashan; an high hill as the hill of Bashan.

הַר־אֱלֹהִים הַר־בָּשָׁן הַר גַּבְנֻנִּים הַר־בָּשָׁן׃ (1765)

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.

לָמָּה ׀ תְּרַצְּדוּן הָרִים גַּבְנֻנִּים הָהָר חָמַד אֱלֹהִים לְשִׁבְתֹּו אַף־יְהוָה יִשְׁכֹּן לָנֶצַח׃ (2986)

17The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands of angels: the Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in the holy place.

רֶכֶב אֱלֹהִים רִבֹּתַיִם אַלְפֵי שִׁנְאָן אֲדֹנָי בָם סִינַי בַּקֹּדֶשׁ׃ (2125)

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.

עָלִיתָ לַמָּרֹום ׀ שָׁבִיתָ שֶּׁבִי לָקַחְתָּ מַתָּנֹות בָּאָדָם וְאַף סֹורְרִים לִשְׁכֹּן ׀ יָהּ אֱלֹהִים׃ (4435)

19Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah.

בָּרוּךְ אֲדֹנָי יֹום ׀ יֹום יַעֲמָס־לָנוּ הָאֵל יְשׁוּעָתֵנוּ סֶלָה׃ (1644)

20He that is our God is the God of salvation; and unto GOD the Lord belong the issues from death.

הָאֵל ׀ לָנוּ אֵל לְמֹושָׁעֹות וְלֵיהוִה אֲדֹנָי לַמָּוֶת תֹּוצָאֹות׃ (2511)

21But God shall wound the head of his enemies, and the hairy scalp of such an one as goeth on still in his trespasses.

אַךְ־אֱלֹהִים יִמְחַץ רֹאשׁ אֹיְבָיו קָדְקֹד שֵׂעָר מִתְהַלֵּךְ בַּאֲשָׁמָיו׃ (2417)

22The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will bring my people again from the depths of the sea:

אָמַר אֲדֹנָי מִבָּשָׁן אָשִׁיב אָשִׁיב מִמְּצֻלֹות יָם׃ (1980)

23That thy foot may be dipped in the blood of thine enemies, and the tongue of thy dogs in the same.

לְמַעַן ׀ תִּמְחַץ רַגְלְךָ בְּדָם לְשֹׁון כְּלָבֶיךָ מֵאֹיְבִים מִנֵּהוּ׃ (1699)

24They have seen thy goings, O God; even the goings of my God, my King, in the sanctuary.

רָאוּ הֲלִיכֹותֶיךָ אֱלֹהִים הֲלִיכֹות אֵלִי מַלְכִּי בַקֹּדֶשׁ׃ (1812)

25The singers went before, the players on instruments followed after; among them were the damsels playing with timbrels.

קִדְּמוּ רִים אַחַר נֹגְנִים בְּתֹוךְ עֲלָמֹות תֹּופֵפֹות׃ (2708)

26Bless ye God in the congregations, even the Lord, from the fountain of Israel.

בְּמַקְהֵלֹות בָּרְכוּ אֱלֹהִים יְהוָה מִמְּקֹור יִשְׂרָאֵל׃ (1850)

27There is little Benjamin with their ruler, the princes of Judah and their council, the princes of Zebulun, and the princes of Naphtali.

שָׁם בִּנְיָמִן ׀ צָעִיר רֹדֵם שָׂרֵי יְהוּדָה רִגְמָתָם שָׂרֵי זְבֻלוּן שָׂרֵי נַפְתָּלִי׃ (4014)

28Thy God hath commanded thy strength: strengthen, O God, that which thou hast wrought for us.

צִוָּה אֱלֹהֶיךָ עֻזֶּךָ עוּזָּה אֱלֹהִים זוּ פָּעַלְתָּ לָּנוּ׃ (1117)

29Because of thy temple at Jerusalem shall kings bring presents unto thee.

מֵהֵיכָלֶךָ עַל־יְרוּשָׁלִָם לְךָ יֹובִילוּ מְלָכִים שָׁי׃ (1375)

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.

גְּעַר חַיַּת קָנֶה עֲדַת אַבִּירִים ׀ בְּעֶגְלֵי עַמִּים מִתְרַפֵּס בְּרַצֵּי־כָסֶף בִּזַּר עַמִּים קְרָבֹות יֶחְפָּצוּ׃ (4371)

31Princes shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall soon stretch out her hands unto God.

יֶאֱתָיוּ חַשְׁמַנִּים מִנִּי מִצְרָיִם כּוּשׁ תָּרִיץ יָדָיו לֵאלֹהִים׃ (2527)

32Sing unto God, ye kingdoms of the earth; O sing praises unto the Lord; Selah:

מַמְלְכֹות הָאָרֶץ שִׁירוּ לֵאלֹהִים זַמְּרוּ אֲדֹנָי סֶלָה׃ (1877)

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.

לָרֹכֵב בִּשְׁמֵי שְׁמֵי־קֶדֶם הֵן יִתֵּן בְּקֹולֹו קֹול עֹז׃ (1970)

34Ascribe ye strength unto God: his excellency is over Israel, and his strength is in the clouds.

תְּנוּ עֹז לֵאלֹהִים עַל־יִשְׂרָאֵל גַּאֲוָתֹו וְעֻזֹּו בַּשְּׁחָקִים׃ (2255)

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.

נֹורָא אֱלֹהִים מִמִּקְדָּשֶׁיךָ אֵל יִשְׂרָאֵל הוּא נֹתֵן ׀ עֹז וְתַעֲצֻמֹות לָעָם בָּרוּךְ אֱלֹהִים׃ (3484)
