Psalms 68
1 “For the leader of the music. A psalm of David.” Let God arise, and his enemies are scattered, And they who hate him flee before him!
in finem David psalmus cantici exsurgat Deus et dissipentur inimici eius et fugiant qui oderunt eum a facie eius
2 As smoke is dispersed, so thou dispersest them; As wax melteth before the fire, So perish the wicked before the face of God.
sicut deficit fumus deficiant sicut fluit cera a facie ignis sic pereant peccatores a facie Dei
3 But the righteous are glad and rejoice in his presence, Yea, they exult exceedingly.
et iusti epulentur exultent in conspectu Dei delectentur in laetitia
4 Sing unto God; sing praises to his name! Prepare a way for him who rideth through the desert! Jehovah is his name; be joyful in his presence!
cantate Deo psalmum dicite nomini eius iter facite ei qui ascendit super occasum Dominus nomen illi et exultate in conspectu eius turbabuntur a facie eius
5 The father of the fatherless, and the protector of the widow, Is God in his holy habitation.
patris orfanorum et iudicis viduarum Deus in loco sancto suo
6 God causeth the forsaken to dwell in houses; He leadeth forth to prosperity them that are bound; But the rebellious shall dwell in a barren land.
Deus inhabitare facit unius moris in domo qui educit vinctos in fortitudine similiter eos qui exasperant qui habitant in sepulchris
7 O God! when thou didst go before thy people, When thou didst march through the wilderness. (Pause)
Deus cum egredereris in conspectu populi tui cum pertransieris in deserto diapsalma
8 The earth quaked, and the heavens dropped at the presence of God; This Sinai trembled at the presence of God, the God of Israel.
terra mota est etenim caeli distillaverunt a facie Dei Sinai a facie Dei Israhel
9 Thou, O God! didst send a plentiful rain; Thou didst strengthen thy wearied inheritance.
pluviam voluntariam segregabis Deus hereditati tuae et infirmata est tu vero perfecisti eam
10 Thy people established themselves in the land; Thou, O God! in thy goodness, didst prepare it for the needy!
animalia tua habitant in ea parasti in dulcedine tua pauperi Deus
11 The Lord gave the song of victory Of the maidens publishing glad tidings to the mighty host.
Dominus dabit verbum evangelizantibus virtute multa
12 “The kings with their armies have fled, —have fled! And the matron at home divideth the spoil.
rex virtutum dilecti dilecti; et speciei domus dividere spolia
13 Truly ye may repose yourselves in the stalls, Like the wings of a dove covered with silver, And her feathers with shining gold.”
si dormiatis inter medios cleros pinnae columbae deargentatae et posteriora dorsi eius in pallore auri
14 When the Most High destroyed the kings in the land, It was white [[with their bones]] like Salmon.
dum discernit Caelestis reges super eam nive dealbabuntur in Selmon
15 Ye lofty hills, ye hills of Bashan, Ye many-topped hills, ye hills of Bashan,
mons Dei mons pinguis mons coagulatus mons pinguis
16 Why frown ye, ye many-topped hills, At the hill in which God is pleased to dwell, In which Jehovah will dwell for ever?
ut quid suspicamini montes coagulatos mons in quo beneplacitum est Deo habitare in eo etenim Dominus habitabit in finem
17 The chariots of God are myriads, yea, thousands of thousands; The Lord is in the midst of them, as upon Sinai, in the sanctuary.
currus Dei decem milibus multiplex milia laetantium Dominus in eis in Sina in sancto
18 Thou hast ascended on high, Thou hast led captive the vanquished, Thou hast received gifts among men, Even the rebellious, that here thou mightst dwell, O LORD God!
ascendisti in altum cepisti captivitatem accepisti dona in hominibus etenim non credentes inhabitare Dominum Deus
19 Praised be the Lord daily! When we are heavy-laden, the Mighty One is our help.
benedictus Dominus die cotidie prosperum iter faciet nobis Deus salutarium nostrorum diapsalma
20 Our God is a God of salvation; From the Lord Jehovah cometh deliverance from death.
Deus noster Deus salvos faciendi et Domini Domini exitus mortis
21 But God smiteth the head of his enemies, Even the hairy crowns of those who go on in their iniquity.
verumtamen Deus confringet capita inimicorum suorum verticem capilli perambulantium in delictis suis
22 “I will bring them back,” saith the Lord, “from Bashan; I will bring them back from the deep sea;
dixit Dominus ex Basan convertam convertam in profundis maris
23 That thy foot may be dipped in their blood, That thy dogs may drink the blood of thine enemies.”
ut intinguatur pes tuus in sanguine lingua canum tuorum ex inimicis ab ipso
24 We have seen thy procession, O God! The procession of my God, my king, to his sanctuary!
viderunt ingressus tui Deus ingressus Dei mei regis mei qui est in sancto
25 The singers go before, the minstrels follow, Amidst damsels playing on timbrels.
praevenerunt principes coniuncti psallentibus in medio iuvencularum tympanistriarum
26 Praise ye God in your assemblies; Praise the Lord, all ye from the fountain of Israel!
in ecclesiis benedicite Deum Dominum de fontibus Israhel
27 Here is Benjamin, the youngest, and his leaders; The chiefs of Judah, and their band; The chiefs of Zebulon, and the chiefs of Naphtali.
ibi Beniamin adulescentulus in mentis excessu principes Iuda duces eorum principes Zabulon principes Nepthali
28 Thy God has ordained thy strength, [[O Israel!]] Show forth thy might, O God! thou who hast wrought for us!
manda Deus virtutem tuam confirma Deus hoc quod operatus es nobis
29 Because of thy temple in Jerusalem Shall kings bring presents to thee.
a templo tuo in Hierusalem tibi adferent reges munera
30 Rebuke the wild beast of the reeds, The multitude of bulls with the calves of the nations, So that they shall cast themselves down with masses of silver; Scatter thou the nations that delight in war!
increpa feras harundinis congregatio taurorum in vaccis populorum ut excludant eos qui probati sunt argento dissipa gentes quae bella volunt
31 Princes shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall haste with outstretched hands to God.
venient legati ex Aegypto Aethiopia praeveniet manus eius Deo
32 Ye kingdoms of the earth, sing unto God; Sing praises to Jehovah;
regna terrae cantate Deo psallite Domino diapsalma psallite Deo
33 To him who rideth upon the ancient heaven of heavens! Behold, he uttereth his voice, his mighty voice!
qui ascendit super caelum caeli ad orientem ecce dabit voci suae vocem virtutis
34 Give glory to God, Whose majesty is in Israel, and whose might is in the clouds!
date gloriam Deo super Israhel magnificentia eius et virtus eius in nubibus
35 Terrible art thou, O God! from thy sanctuary! The God of Israel giveth strength and power to his people. Praised be God!
mirabilis Deus in sanctis suis Deus Israhel ipse dabit virtutem et fortitudinem plebi suae benedictus Deus
