YLT - Psalms - 68

68:1  To the Overseer. --A Psalm, a song of David. Rise doth God--scattered are His enemies! And those hating Him flee from His face.

68:2  As the driving away of smoke Thou drivest away, As the melting of wax before fire, The wicked perish at the presence of God.

68:3  And the righteous rejoice, they exult before God, And they joy with gladness.

68:4  Sing ye to God--praise His name, Raise up a highway for Him who is riding in deserts, In Jah is His name, and exult before Him.

68:5  Father of the fatherless, and judge of the widows, Is God in His holy habitation.

68:6  God--causing the lonely to dwell at home, Bringing out bound ones into prosperity, Only--the refractory have inhabited a dry place.

68:7  O God, in Thy going forth before Thy people, In Thy stepping through the wilderness, Selah.

68:8  The earth hath shaken, Yea, the heavens have dropped before God, This Sinai--before God, the God of Israel.

68:9  A shower of free-will gifts thou shakest out, O God. Thine inheritance, when it hath been weary, Thou hast established it.

68:10  Thy company have dwelt in it, Thou preparest in Thy goodness for the poor, O God.

68:11  The Lord doth give the saying, The female proclaimers are a numerous host.

68:12  Kings of hosts flee utterly away, And a female inhabitant of the house apportioneth spoil.

68:13  Though ye do lie between two boundaries, Wings of a dove covered with silver, And her pinions with yellow gold.

68:14  When the Mighty spreadeth kings in it, It doth snow in Salmon.

68:15  A hill of God is the hill of Bashan, A hill of heights is the hill of Bashan.

68:16  Why do ye envy, O high hills, The hill God hath desired for His seat? Jehovah also doth tabernacle for ever.

68:17  The chariots of God are myriads, thousands of changes, The Lord is among them, in Sinai, in the sanctuary.

68:18  Thou hast ascended on high, Thou hast taken captive captivity, Thou hast taken gifts for men, That even the refractory may rest, O Jah God.

68:19  Blessed is the Lord, day by day He layeth on us. God Himself is our salvation. Selah.

68:20  God Himself is to us a God for deliverances, And Jehovah Lord hath the outgoings of death.

68:21  Only--God doth smite The head of His enemies, The hairy crown of a habitual walker in his guilt.

68:22  The Lord said: `From Bashan I bring back, I bring back from the depths of the sea.

68:23  So that thou dashest thy foot in blood, In the blood of enemies--the tongue of Thy dogs.'

68:24  They have seen Thy goings, O God, Goings of my God, my king, in the sanctuary.

68:25  Singers have been before, Behind are players on instruments, In the midst virgins playing with timbrels.

68:26  In assemblies bless ye God, The Lord--from the fountain of Israel.

68:27  There is little Benjamin their ruler, Heads of Judah their defence, Heads of Zebulun--heads of Naphtali.

68:28  Thy God hath commanded thy strength, Be strong, O God, this Thou hast wrought for us.

68:29  Because of Thy temple at Jerusalem, To Thee do kings bring a present.

68:30  Rebuke a beast of the reeds, a company of bulls, With calves of the peoples, Each humbling himself with pieces of silver, Scatter Thou peoples delighting in conflicts.

68:31  Come do fat ones out of Egypt, Cush causeth her hands to run to God.

68:32  Kingdoms of the earth, sing ye to God, Praise ye the Lord. Selah.

68:33  To him who is riding on the heavens of the heavens of old, Lo, He giveth with His voice a strong voice.

68:34  Ascribe ye strength to God, Over Israel is His excellency, and His strength in the clouds.

68:35  Fearful, O God, out of Thy sanctuaries, The God of Israel Himself, Giving strength and might to the people. Blessed is God!
