Psalms 68
1 [For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. A song.] Let God arise. Let his enemies be scattered, and let them who hate him flee before him.
| לַמְנַצֵּחַ לְדָוִד מִזְמוֹר שִֽׁיר׃ יָקוּם אֱלֹהִים יָפוּצוּ אוֹיְבָיו וְיָנוּסוּ מְשַׂנְאָיו מִפָּנָֽיו׃ |
2 As smoke is driven away, so drive them away. As wax melts before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God.
| כְּהִנְדֹּף עָשָׁן תִּנְדֹּף כְּהִמֵּס דּוֹנַג מִפְּנֵי־אֵשׁ יֹאבְדוּ רְשָׁעִים מִפְּנֵי אֱלֹהִֽים׃ |
3 But let the righteous be glad. Let them rejoice before God. Yes, let them rejoice with gladness.
| וְֽצַדִּיקִים יִשְׂמְחוּ יַעַלְצוּ לִפְנֵי אֱלֹהִים וְיָשִׂישׂוּ בְשִׂמְחָֽה׃ |
4 Sing to God. Sing praises to his name. Extol him who rides on the clouds: to the LORD, his name. Rejoice before him.
| שִׁירוּ ׀ לֵאלֹהִים זַמְּרוּ שְׁמוֹ סֹלּוּ לָרֹכֵב בָּעֲרָבוֹת בְּיָהּ שְׁמוֹ וְעִלְזוּ לְפָנָֽיו׃ |
5 A father of the fatherless, and a defender of the widows, is God in his holy habitation.
| אֲבִי יְתוֹמִים וְדַיַּן אַלְמָנוֹת אֱלֹהִים בִּמְעוֹן קׇדְשֽׁוֹ׃ |
6 God sets the lonely in families. He brings out the prisoners with singing, but the rebellious dwell in a sun-scorched land.
| אֱלֹהִים ׀ מוֹשִׁיב יְחִידִים ׀ בַּיְתָה מוֹצִיא אֲסִירִים בַּכּוֹשָׁרוֹת אַךְ סוֹרְרִים שָׁכְנוּ צְחִיחָֽה׃ |
7 God, when you went forth before your people, when you marched through the wilderness... (Selah)
| אֱֽלֹהִים בְּצֵאתְךָ לִפְנֵי עַמֶּךָ בְּצַעְדְּךָ בִישִׁימוֹן סֶֽלָה׃ |
8 The earth trembled. The sky also poured down rain at the presence of the God of Sinai—at the presence of God, the God of Israel.
| אֶרֶץ רָעָשָׁה ׀ אַף־שָׁמַיִם נָטְפוּ מִפְּנֵי אֱלֹהִים זֶה סִינַי מִפְּנֵי אֱלֹהִים אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ |
9 You, God, sent a plentiful rain. You confirmed your inheritance, when it was weary.
| גֶּשֶׁם נְדָבוֹת תָּנִיף אֱלֹהִים נַחֲלָתְךָ וְנִלְאָה אַתָּה כוֹנַנְתָּֽהּ׃ |
10 Your congregation lived in it. You, God, prepared your goodness for the poor.
| חַיָּתְךָ יָשְׁבוּ־בָהּ תָּכִֽין בְּטוֹבָתְךָ לֶֽעָנִי אֱלֹהִֽים׃ |
11 The LORD announced the word; a great company of women proclaim the good news.
| אֲדֹנָי יִתֶּן־אֹמֶר הַמְבַשְּׂרוֹת צָבָא רָֽב׃ |
12 "Kings of armies flee. They flee." She who waits at home divides the spoil,
| מַלְכֵי צְבָאוֹת יִדֹּדוּן יִדֹּדוּן וּנְוַת־בַּיִת תְּחַלֵּק שָׁלָֽל׃ |
13 while you sleep among the campfires, the wings of a dove sheathed with silver, her feathers with shining gold.
| אִֽם־תִּשְׁכְּבוּן בֵּין שְׁפַתָּיִם כַּנְפֵי יוֹנָה נֶחְפָּה בַכֶּסֶף וְאֶבְרוֹתֶיהָ בִּירַקְרַק חָרֽוּץ׃ |
14 When Shaddai scattered kings in her, it snowed on Zalmon.
| בְּפָרֵשׂ שַׁדַּי מְלָכִים בָּהּ תַּשְׁלֵג בְּצַלְמֽוֹן׃ |
15 The mountains of Bashan are majestic mountains. The mountains of Bashan are rugged.
| הַר־אֱלֹהִים הַר־בָּשָׁן הַר גַּבְנֻנִּים הַר־בָּשָֽׁן׃ |
16 Why do you look in envy, you rugged mountains, at the mountain where God chooses to reign? Yes, the LORD will dwell there forever.
| לָמָּה ׀ תְּֽרַצְּדוּן הָרִים גַּבְנֻנִּים הָהָר חָמַד אֱלֹהִים לְשִׁבְתּוֹ אַף־יְהֹוָה יִשְׁכֹּן לָנֶֽצַח׃ |
17 The chariots of God are tens of thousands and thousands of thousands. The LORD is among them, from Sinai, in holiness.
| רֶכֶב אֱלֹהִים רִבֹּתַיִם אַלְפֵי שִׁנְאָן אֲדֹנָי בָֿם סִינַי בַּקֹּֽדֶשׁ׃ |
18 You have ascended on high. You have taken captivity captive. And you gave gifts to people; but the rebellious will not dwell in the presence of God.
| עָלִיתָ לַמָּרוֹם ׀ שָׁבִיתָ שֶּׁבִי לָקַחְתָּ מַתָּנוֹת בָּאָדָם וְאַף סוֹרְרִים לִשְׁכֹּן ׀ יָהּ אֱלֹהִֽים׃ |
19 Blessed be the LORD, who daily bears our burdens, even the God who is our salvation. (Selah)
| בָּרוּךְ אֲדֹנָי יוֹם ׀ יוֹם יַעֲמׇס־לָנוּ הָאֵל יְֽשׁוּעָתֵנוּ סֶֽלָה׃ |
20 God is to us a God of deliverance. To the LORD belongs escape from death.
| הָאֵל ׀ לָנוּ אֵל לְֽמוֹשָׁעוֹת וְלֵיהֹוִה אֲדֹנָי לַמָּוֶת תֹּצָאֽוֹת׃ |
21 But God will strike through the head of his enemies, the hairy scalp of such a one as still continues in his guiltiness.
| אַךְ־אֱלֹהִים יִמְחַץ רֹאשׁ אֹיְבָיו קׇדְקֹד שֵׂעָר מִתְהַלֵּךְ בַּאֲשָׁמָֽיו׃ |
22 The LORD said, "I will bring you again from Bashan, I will bring you again from the depths of the sea;
| אָמַר אֲדֹנָי מִבָּשָׁן אָשִׁיב אָשִׁיב מִֽמְּצֻלוֹת יָֽם׃ |
23 That you may crush them, dipping your foot in blood, that the tongues of your dogs may have their portion from your enemies."
| לְמַעַן ׀ תִּמְחַץ רַגְלְךָ בְּדָם לְשׁוֹן כְּלָבֶיךָ מֵאֹיְבִים מִנֵּֽהוּ׃ |
24 They have seen your processions, God, even the processions of my God, my King, into the sanctuary.
| רָאוּ הֲלִיכוֹתֶיךָ אֱלֹהִים הֲלִיכוֹת אֵלִי מַלְכִּי בַקֹּֽדֶשׁ׃ |
25 The singers went before, the minstrels followed after, in the midst of the ladies playing with tambourines,
| קִדְּמוּ שָׁרִים אַחַר נֹגְנִים בְּתוֹךְ עֲלָמוֹת תּוֹפֵפֽוֹת׃ |
26 "Bless God in the congregations, even the LORD from the fountain of Israel."
| בְּֽמַקְהֵלוֹת בָּרְכוּ אֱלֹהִים אֲדֹנָי מִמְּקוֹר יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ |
27 There is little Benjamin, their ruler, the princes of Judah, their council, the princes of Zebulun, and the princes of Naphtali.
| שָׁם בִּנְיָמִן ׀ צָעִיר רֹדֵם שָׂרֵי יְהוּדָה רִגְמָתָם שָׂרֵי זְבֻלוּן שָׂרֵי נַפְתָּלִֽי׃ |
28 Your God has commanded your strength. Strengthen, God, that which you have done for us.
| צִוָּה אֱלֹהֶיךָ עֻזֶּךָ עוּזָּה אֱלֹהִים זוּ פָּעַלְתָּ לָּֽנוּ׃ |
29 Because of your temple at Jerusalem, kings shall bring presents to you.
| מֵהֵיכָלֶךָ עַל־יְרוּשָׁלָ͏ִם לְךָ יוֹבִילוּ מְלָכִים שָֽׁי׃ |
30 Rebuke the wild animal of the reeds, the multitude of the bulls, with the calves of the peoples. Being humbled, may it bring bars of silver. Scatter the nations that delight in war.
| גְּעַר חַיַּת קָנֶה עֲדַת אַבִּירִים ׀ בְּעֶגְלֵי עַמִּים מִתְרַפֵּס בְּרַצֵּי־כָסֶף בִּזַּר עַמִּים קְרָבוֹת יֶחְפָּֽצוּ׃ |
31 Envoys shall come out of Egypt. Ethiopia shall hurry to stretch out her hands to God.
| יֶאֱתָיוּ חַשְׁמַנִּים מִנִּי מִצְרָיִם כּוּשׁ תָּרִיץ יָדָיו לֵאלֹהִֽים׃ |
32 Sing to God, you kingdoms of the earth. Sing praises to the LORD. (Selah)
| מַמְלְכוֹת הָאָרֶץ שִׁירוּ לֵאלֹהִים זַמְּרוּ אֲדֹנָי סֶֽלָה׃ |
33 To him who rides on the heaven of heavens, which are of old; look, he utters his voice, a mighty voice.
| לָרֹכֵב בִּשְׁמֵי שְׁמֵי־קֶדֶם הֵן יִתֵּן בְּקוֹלוֹ קוֹל עֹֽז׃ |
34 Ascribe strength to God. His excellency is over Israel, his strength is in the skies.
| תְּנוּ עֹז לֵאלֹהִים עַֽל־יִשְׂרָאֵל גַּאֲוָתוֹ וְעֻזּוֹ בַּשְּׁחָקִֽים׃ |
35 You are awesome, God, in your sanctuaries. The God of Israel gives strength and power to his people. Praise be to God.
| נוֹרָא אֱלֹהִים מִֽמִּקְדָּשֶׁיךָ אֵל יִשְׂרָאֵל הוּא נֹתֵן ׀ עֹז וְתַעֲצֻמוֹת לָעָם בָּרוּךְ אֱלֹהִֽים׃ |
