Psalms 68
1 God, arise and scatter your enemies, and cause those who hate you to run away from you.
Para el músico principal. Un salmo de David. Una canción. ¡Que se levante Dios! ¡Que se dispersen sus enemigos! Que los que lo odian también huyan ante él.
2 Like [wind] blows smoke away, chase your enemies away. Like wax melts when it is near a fire, cause wicked people to (disappear/be destroyed).
Como el humo se aleja, así que ahuyéntalos. Como la cera se derrite ante el fuego, que los malvados perezcan ante la presencia de Dios.
3 But righteous people should be joyful; they should rejoice when they are in God’s presence; they should be happy, and be very joyful.
Pero que los justos se alegren. Que se alegren ante Dios. Sí, que se regocijen con alegría.
4 Sing to God; sing to praise him; sing a song (OR, make a road) for him who rides on the clouds; his name is Yahweh; be glad when you are in his presence.
¡Cantad a Dios! ¡Cantad alabanzas a su nombre! Exalta al que cabalga sobre las nubes: ¡a Yah, su nombre! Alégrate ante él.
5 God, who lives in his sacred temple, is [like] [MET] a father to [those who are] orphans, and he is the one who protects widows.
Padre de los huérfanos y defensor de las viudas, es Dios en su santa morada.
6 For those who have no one to live with, he provides families [to live with]. He frees prisoners and enables them to be successful, but those who rebel [against him] will be forced to live in a very hot and dry land.
Dios pone a los solitarios en las familias. Saca a los prisioneros con el canto, pero los rebeldes habitan en una tierra quemada por el sol.
7 God, you led your people out [of Egypt], and then you marched with them through the desert.
Dios, cuando saliste ante tu pueblo, cuando marchaste por el desierto... (Selah)
8 After you did that, because when you, the God [worshiped by us] Israeli people, appeared to us at Sinai [Mountain], the earth shook, and rain poured down from the sky.
La tierra tembló. El cielo también derramó lluvia ante la presencia del Dios del Sinaí — ante la presencia de Dios, el Dios de Israel.
9 You caused plenty of rain to fall [on your land], [and so] you enabled good crops to grow again on the land that you gave [to us Israelis].
Tú, Dios, enviaste una lluvia abundante. Has confirmado tu herencia cuando estaba agotada.
10 Your people built homes there; and because you were good to them, you provided [food] for those who were poor.
Su congregación vivía en ella. Tú, Dios, preparaste tu bondad para los pobres.
11 The Lord gave a message, and many women took that message to other places.
El Señor anunció la palabra. Los que lo proclaman son una gran empresa.
12 [They proclaimed], “Many kings and their armies are running away [from our army]!” [When our army brought back to their homes] the things that they captured, the women who were at home divided up those things [among themselves and among their families].
“¡Reyes de los ejércitos huyen! Huyen!” La que espera en casa reparte el botín,
13 Even those women who were in the pens [taking care of] the sheep [received some of those things]; they got statues of doves whose wings were covered with silver and whose feathers were covered with pure yellow gold.
mientras duermes entre las hogueras, las alas de una paloma enfundadas en plata, sus plumas con oro brillante.
14 When Almighty [God] scattered the [enemy] kings [and their armies], [the number of weapons that they abandoned there] seemed like there had been a snowstorm on Zalmon (OR, a black) [Mountain].
Cuando el Todopoderoso dispersó a los reyes en ella, nevó en Zalmon.
15 There is a very high mountain in the Bashan [region], a mountain which has many peaks.
Las montañas de Basán son montañas majestuosas. Las montañas de Basán son escarpadas.
16 But the [people who live near] that mountain should not [RHQ] envy those who live near [Zion], the mountain on which God chose to live! Yahweh will live there forever!
¿Por qué miráis con envidia, montañas escarpadas, en la montaña donde Dios decide reinar? Sí, Yahvé morará allí para siempre.
17 [After we defeated all our enemies], [it was as though] the Lord, surrounded by many thousands of strong chariots, descended from Sinai [Mountain] and came into the sacred temple [in Jerusalem].
Los carros de Dios son decenas de miles y miles de miles. El Señor está entre ellos, desde el Sinaí, en el santuario.
18 He ascended the sacred mountain [where his temple is], and took with him many people who had been captured [in battles]; and received gifts from the enemies [whom he had defeated]. He received gifts even from those who had rebelled against him, and Yahweh our God will live there [in his sacred temple] forever.
Has subido a lo alto. Has llevado a los cautivos. Has recibido regalos entre la gente, sí, también entre los rebeldes, para que Yah Dios habite allí.
19 Praise the Lord, who [helps us] carry our heavy loads every day; he is the one who saves/rescues us.
Bendito sea el Señor, que cada día soporta nuestras cargas, el Dios que es nuestra salvación. (Selah)
20 Our God is the God who saves us; He is Yahweh, our Lord, the one who (allows us to escape/prevents us) from being killed [in battles].
Dios es para nosotros un Dios de liberación. A Yahvé, el Señor, le corresponde escapar de la muerte.
21 But God will smash the heads of his enemies, the skulls of those who continue to behave sinfully.
Pero Dios atravesará la cabeza de sus enemigos, el cuero cabelludo de aquel que aún continúa en su culpabilidad.
22 The Lord said, “I will bring back the [corpses of those who were killed in] Bashan, and I will bring back those who sank deep in the ocean [and drowned].
El Señor dijo: “Te traeré de nuevo desde Basán, Te traeré de nuevo desde las profundidades del mar,
23 I will do that in order that you may wash your feet in their blood, and your dogs can [also] lap up some of your enemies’ blood.”
para que los aplastes, mojando tu pie en la sangre, para que las lenguas de tus perros tengan su parte de tus enemigos”.
24 God, many people see you march triumphantly into your sacred temple, [celebrating that you have defeated your enemies]. You [march like] a king does, and a large crowd walks with you.
Han visto tus procesiones, Dios, hasta las procesiones de mi Dios, mi Rey, en el santuario.
25 The singers are in front, and the people who play stringed instruments are at the rear, and young women who are beating their tambourines are between them.
Los cantantes iban delante, los juglares les seguían, entre las damas tocando con panderetas,
26 [They are all singing], “You Israeli people, praise God when you gather together; praise Yahweh, all you who are descendants of Jacob!”
“Bendecid a Dios en las congregaciones, el Señor en la asamblea de Israel”.
27 First come [the people of the tribe of] Benjamin, the smallest [tribe], and following them come the leaders of [the tribe of] Judah and their group, and following them come the leaders of [the tribes of] Zebulun and Naphtali.
Allí está el pequeño Benjamín, su gobernante, los príncipes de Judá, su consejo, los príncipes de Zabulón y los príncipes de Neftalí.
28 God, show people that you are very powerful; show people the power with which you have helped us previously.
Tu Dios ha ordenado tu fuerza. Fortalece, Dios, lo que has hecho por nosotros.
29 Show that power from your temple in Jerusalem, where kings bring gifts to you.
Por tu templo en Jerusalén, los reyes te traerán regalos.
30 Rebuke [your enemies, such as those in Egypt who are like] wild hippopotamuses/animals that live in the reeds; and [powerful nations that are like] bulls that are among their calves [MET]; rebuke/trample them until they bow down and give you gifts of silver. Scatter the people who enjoy making wars.
Reprende al animal salvaje de las cañas, la multitud de los toros con los becerros de los pueblos. Pisotea las barras de plata. Dispersa a las naciones que se deleitan en la guerra.
31 Then people will bring gifts of bronze (OR, of cloth) to you from Egypt; the people in Ethiopia will lift up their hands [to praise you].
Los príncipes saldrán de Egipto. Etiopía se apresurará a extender sus manos a Dios.
32 [You people who are citizens of] kingdoms/countries all over the world, sing to God! Sing praises to the Lord!
¡Cantad a Dios, reinos de la tierra! Canten alabanzas al Señor (Selah)
33 Sing to the God, the one who rides across the sky, the sky that [he created] long ago. Listen as he shouts with a very powerful voice.
al que cabalga sobre el cielo de los cielos, que son de la antigüedad; He aquí que él emite su voz, una voz poderosa.
34 Proclaim that God is very powerful; he is the king that rules over Israel, and in the skies [he also shows that] he is powerful.
¡Asume la fuerza de Dios! Su excelencia está sobre Israel, su fuerza está en los cielos.
35 God is awesome as he comes out of his sacred temple; he is the God whom [we] Israeli people [worship]. He makes [DOU] his people very powerful. Praise God!
Eres impresionante, Dios, en tus santuarios. El Dios de Israel da fuerza y poder a su pueblo. Alabado sea Dios.
