Psalms 68:1 (NET) New English Translation

1 For the music director; by David, a psalm, a song. God springs into action! His enemies scatter; his adversaries run from him.
2 As smoke is driven away by the wind, so you drive them away. As wax melts before fire, so the wicked are destroyed before God.
3 But the godly are happy; they rejoice before God and are overcome with joy.
4 Sing to God! Sing praises to his name! Exalt the one who rides on the clouds! For the LORD is his name! Rejoice before him!
5 He is a father to the fatherless and an advocate for widows. God rules from his holy palace.
6 God settles those who have been deserted in their own homes; he frees prisoners and grants them prosperity. But sinful rebels live in the desert.
7 O God, when you lead your people into battle, when you march through the desert, (Selah)
8 the earth shakes, yes, the heavens pour down rain before God, the God of Sinai, before God, the God of Israel.
9 O God, you cause abundant showers to fall on your chosen people. When they are tired, you sustain them,
10 for you live among them. You sustain the oppressed with your good blessings, O God.
11 The Lord speaks; many, many women spread the good news.
12 Kings leading armies run away� they run away! The lovely lady of the house divides up the loot.
13 When you lie down among the sheepfolds, the wings of the dove are covered with silver and with glittering gold.
14 When the sovereign judge scatters kings, let it snow on Zalmon!
15 The mountain of Bashan is a towering mountain; the mountain of Bashan is a mountain with many peaks.
16 Why do you look with envy, O mountains with many peaks, at the mountain where God has decided to live? Indeed the LORD will live there permanently!
17 God has countless chariots; they number in the thousands. The Lord comes from Sinai in holy splendor.
18 You ascend on high, you have taken many captives. You receive tribute from men, including even sinful rebels. Indeed the LORD God lives there!
19 The Lord deserves praise! Day after day he carries our burden, the God who delivers us. (Selah)
20 Our God is a God who delivers; the LORD, the sovereign Lord, can rescue from death.
21 Indeed God strikes the heads of his enemies, the hairy foreheads of those who persist in rebellion.
22 The Lord says, "I will retrieve them from Bashan, I will bring them back from the depths of the sea,
23 so that your feet may stomp in their blood, and your dogs may eat their portion of the enemies' corpses."
24 They see your processions, O God� the processions of my God, my king, who marches along in holy splendor.
25 Singers walk in front; musicians follow playing their stringed instruments, in the midst of young women playing tambourines.
26 In your large assemblies praise God, the LORD, in the assemblies of Israel!
27 There is little Benjamin, their ruler, and the princes of Judah in their robes, along with the princes of Zebulun and the princes of Naphtali.
28 God has decreed that you will be powerful. O God, you who have acted on our behalf, demonstrate your power,
29 as you come out of your temple in Jerusalem! Kings bring tribute to you.
30 Sound your battle cry against the wild beast of the reeds, and the nations that assemble like a herd of calves led by bulls! They humble themselves and offer gold and silver as tribute. God scatters the nations that like to do battle.
31 They come with red cloth from Egypt, Ethiopia voluntarily offers tribute to God.
32 O kingdoms of the earth, sing to God! Sing praises to the Lord, (Selah)
33 to the one who rides through the sky from ancient times! Look! He thunders loudly.
34 Acknowledge God's power, his sovereignty over Israel, and the power he reveals in the skies!
35 You are awe-inspiring, O God, as you emerge from your holy temple! It is the God of Israel who gives the people power and strength. God deserves praise!
1 To the chief Musician, H5329 A Psalm H4210 or Song H7892 of David. H1732 Let God H430 arise, H6965 let his enemies H341 be scattered: H6327 let them also that hate H8130 him flee H5127 before H4480 H6440 him.
2 As smoke H6227 is driven away, H5086 so drive them away: H5086 as wax H1749 melteth H4549 before H4480 H6440 the fire, H784 so let the wicked H7563 perish H6 at the presence H4480 H6440 of God. H430
3 But let the righteous H6662 be glad; H8055 let them rejoice H5970 before H6440 God: H430 yea , let them exceedingly H8057 rejoice. H7797
4 Sing H7891 unto God, H430 sing praises H2167 to his name: H8034 extol H5549 him that rideth H7392 upon the heavens H6160 by his name H8034 JAH, H3050 and rejoice H5937 before H6440 him.
5 A father H1 of the fatherless, H3490 and a judge H1781 of the widows, H490 is God H430 in his holy H6944 habitation. H4583
6 God H430 setteth H3427 the solitary H3173 in families: H1004 he bringeth out H3318 those which are bound H615 with chains: H3574 but H389 the rebellious H5637 dwell H7931 in a dry H6707 land .
7 O God, H430 when thou wentest forth H3318 before H6440 thy people, H5971 when thou didst march H6805 through the wilderness; H3452 Selah: H5542
8 The earth H776 shook, H7493 the heavens H8064 also H637 dropped H5197 at the presence H4480 H6440 of God: H430 even Sinai H5514 itself H2088 was moved at the presence H4480 H6440 of God, H430 the God H430 of Israel. H3478
9 Thou , O God, H430 didst send H5130 a plentiful H5071 rain, H1653 whereby thou H859 didst confirm H3559 thine inheritance, H5159 when it was weary. H3811
10 Thy congregation H2416 hath dwelt H3427 therein: thou , O God, H430 hast prepared H3559 of thy goodness H2896 for the poor. H6041
11 The Lord H136 gave H5414 the word: H562 great H7227 was the company H6635 of those that published H1319 it .
12 Kings H4428 of armies H6635 did flee apace H5074 H5074 : and she that tarried H5116 at home H1004 divided H2505 the spoil. H7998
13 Though H518 ye have lain H7901 among H996 the pots, H8240 yet shall ye be as the wings H3671 of a dove H3123 covered H2645 with silver, H3701 and her feathers H84 with yellow H3422 gold. H2742
14 When the Almighty H7706 scattered H6566 kings H4428 in it , it was white as snow H7949 in Salmon. H6756
15 The hill H2022 of God H430 is as the hill H2022 of Bashan; H1316 a high H1386 hill H2022 as the hill H2022 of Bashan. H1316
16 Why H4100 leap H7520 ye , ye high H1386 hills H2022 ? this is the hill H2022 which God H430 desireth H2530 to dwell H3427 in; yea, H637 the LORD H3068 will dwell H7931 in it forever. H5331
17 The chariots H7393 of God H430 are twenty thousand, H7239 even thousands H505 of angels: H8136 the Lord H136 is among them, as in Sinai, H5514 in the holy H6944 place .
18 Thou hast ascended H5927 on high, H4791 thou hast led captivity captive H7617 H7628 : thou hast received H3947 gifts H4979 for men; H120 yea, for the rebellious H5637 also, H637 that the LORD H3050 God H430 might dwell H7931 among them .
19 Blessed H1288 be the Lord, H136 who daily H3117 H3117 loadeth H6006 us with benefits, even the God H410 of our salvation. H3444 Selah. H5542
20 He that is our God H410 is the God H410 of salvation; H4190 and unto GOD H3069 the Lord H136 belong the issues H8444 from death. H4194
21 But H389 God H430 shall wound H4272 the head H7218 of his enemies, H341 and the hairy H8181 scalp H6936 of such a one as goeth on still H1980 in his trespasses. H817
22 The Lord H136 said, H559 I will bring again H7725 from Bashan H4480 H1316 , I will bring my people again H7725 from the depths H4480 H4688 of the sea: H3220
23 That H4616 thy foot H7272 may be dipped H4272 in the blood H1818 of thine enemies H4480 H341 , and the tongue H3956 of thy dogs H3611 in the same. H4482
24 They have seen H7200 thy goings, H1979 O God; H430 even the goings H1979 of my God, H410 my King, H4428 in the sanctuary. H6944
25 The singers H7891 went before, H6923 the players on instruments H5059 followed after; H310 among H8432 them were the damsels H5959 playing with timbrels. H8608
26 Bless H1288 ye God H430 in the congregations, H4721 even the Lord, H3068 from the fountain H4480 H4726 of Israel. H3478
27 There H8033 is little H6810 Benjamin H1144 with their ruler, H7287 the princes H8269 of Judah H3063 and their council, H7277 the princes H8269 of Zebulun, H2074 and the princes H8269 of Naphtali. H5321
28 Thy God H430 hath commanded H6680 thy strength: H5797 strengthen, H5810 O God, H430 that which H2098 thou hast wrought H6466 for us.
29 Because of thy temple H4480 H1964 at H5921 Jerusalem H3389 shall kings H4428 bring H2986 presents H7862 unto thee.
30 Rebuke H1605 the company H2416 of spearmen, H7070 the multitude H5712 of the bulls, H47 with the calves H5695 of the people, H5971 till every one submit himself H7511 with pieces H7518 of silver: H3701 scatter H967 thou the people H5971 that delight H2654 in war. H7128
31 Princes H2831 shall come out H857 of H4480 Egypt; H4714 Ethiopia H3568 shall soon stretch out H7323 her hands H3027 unto God. H430
32 Sing H7891 unto God, H430 ye kingdoms H4467 of the earth; H776 O sing praises H2167 unto the Lord; H136 Selah: H5542
33 To him that rideth H7392 upon the heavens H8064 of heavens, H8064 which were of old; H6924 lo, H2005 he doth send out H5414 his voice, H6963 and that a mighty H5797 voice. H6963
34 Ascribe H5414 ye strength H5797 unto God: H430 his excellency H1346 is over H5921 Israel, H3478 and his strength H5797 is in the clouds. H7834
35 O God, H430 thou art terrible H3372 out of thy holy places H4480 H4720 : the God H410 of Israel H3478 is he H1931 that giveth H5414 strength H5797 and power H8592 unto his people. H5971 Blessed H1288 be God. H430
