Psalms 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.
| לַמְנַצֵּחַ לְדָוִד מִזְמוֹר שִֽׁיר׃ יָקוּם אֱלֹהִים יָפוּצוּ אוֹיְבָיו וְיָנוּסוּ מְשַׂנְאָיו מִפָּנָֽיו׃ |
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.
| כְּהִנְדֹּף עָשָׁן תִּנְדֹּף כְּהִמֵּס דּוֹנַג מִפְּנֵי־אֵשׁ יֹאבְדוּ רְשָׁעִים מִפְּנֵי אֱלֹהִֽים׃ |
3 And the righteous rejoice, they exult before God, And they joy with gladness.
| וְֽצַדִּיקִים יִשְׂמְחוּ יַעַלְצוּ לִפְנֵי אֱלֹהִים וְיָשִׂישׂוּ בְשִׂמְחָֽה׃ |
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.
| שִׁירוּ ׀ לֵאלֹהִים זַמְּרוּ שְׁמוֹ סֹלּוּ לָרֹכֵב בָּעֲרָבוֹת בְּיָהּ שְׁמוֹ וְעִלְזוּ לְפָנָֽיו׃ |
5 Father of the fatherless, and judge of the widows, [Is] God in His holy habitation.
| אֲבִי יְתוֹמִים וְדַיַּן אַלְמָנוֹת אֱלֹהִים בִּמְעוֹן קׇדְשֽׁוֹ׃ |
6 God — causing the lonely to dwell at home, Bringing out bound ones into prosperity, Only — the refractory have inhabited a dry place.
| אֱלֹהִים ׀ מוֹשִׁיב יְחִידִים ׀ בַּיְתָה מוֹצִיא אֲסִירִים בַּכּוֹשָׁרוֹת אַךְ סוֹרְרִים שָׁכְנוּ צְחִיחָֽה׃ |
7 O God, in Thy going forth before Thy people, In Thy stepping through the wilderness, (Selah)
| אֱֽלֹהִים בְּצֵאתְךָ לִפְנֵי עַמֶּךָ בְּצַעְדְּךָ בִישִׁימוֹן סֶֽלָה׃ |
8 The earth hath shaken, Yea, the heavens have dropped before God, This Sinai — before God, the God of Israel.
| אֶרֶץ רָעָשָׁה ׀ אַף־שָׁמַיִם נָטְפוּ מִפְּנֵי אֱלֹהִים זֶה סִינַי מִפְּנֵי אֱלֹהִים אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ |
9 A shower of free-will gifts thou shakest out, O God. Thine inheritance, when it hath been weary, Thou hast established it.
| גֶּשֶׁם נְדָבוֹת תָּנִיף אֱלֹהִים נַחֲלָתְךָ וְנִלְאָה אַתָּה כוֹנַנְתָּֽהּ׃ |
10 Thy company have dwelt in it, Thou preparest in Thy goodness for the poor, O God.
| חַיָּתְךָ יָשְׁבוּ־בָהּ תָּכִֽין בְּטוֹבָתְךָ לֶֽעָנִי אֱלֹהִֽים׃ |
11 The Lord doth give the saying, The female proclaimers [are] a numerous host.
| אֲדֹנָי יִתֶּן־אֹמֶר הַמְבַשְּׂרוֹת צָבָא רָֽב׃ |
12 Kings of hosts flee utterly away, And a female inhabitant of the house apportioneth spoil.
| מַלְכֵי צְבָאוֹת יִדֹּדוּן יִדֹּדוּן וּנְוַת־בַּיִת תְּחַלֵּק שָׁלָֽל׃ |
13 Though ye do lie between two boundaries, Wings of a dove covered with silver, And her pinions with yellow gold.
| אִֽם־תִּשְׁכְּבוּן בֵּין שְׁפַתָּיִם כַּנְפֵי יוֹנָה נֶחְפָּה בַכֶּסֶף וְאֶבְרוֹתֶיהָ בִּירַקְרַק חָרֽוּץ׃ |
14 When the Mighty spreadeth kings in it, It doth snow in Salmon.
| בְּפָרֵשׂ שַׁדַּי מְלָכִים בָּהּ תַּשְׁלֵג בְּצַלְמֽוֹן׃ |
15 A hill of God [is] the hill of Bashan, A hill of heights [is] the hill of Bashan.
| הַר־אֱלֹהִים הַר־בָּשָׁן הַר גַּבְנֻנִּים הַר־בָּשָֽׁן׃ |
16 Why do ye envy, O high hills, The hill God hath desired for His seat? Jehovah also doth tabernacle for ever.
| לָמָּה ׀ תְּֽרַצְּדוּן הָרִים גַּבְנֻנִּים הָהָר חָמַד אֱלֹהִים לְשִׁבְתּוֹ אַף־יְהֹוָה יִשְׁכֹּן לָנֶֽצַח׃ |
17 The chariots of God [are] myriads, thousands of changes, The Lord [is] among them, in Sinai, in the sanctuary.
| רֶכֶב אֱלֹהִים רִבֹּתַיִם אַלְפֵי שִׁנְאָן אֲדֹנָי בָֿם סִינַי בַּקֹּֽדֶשׁ׃ |
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.
| עָלִיתָ לַמָּרוֹם ׀ שָׁבִיתָ שֶּׁבִי לָקַחְתָּ מַתָּנוֹת בָּאָדָם וְאַף סוֹרְרִים לִשְׁכֹּן ׀ יָהּ אֱלֹהִֽים׃ |
19 Blessed [is] the Lord, day by day He layeth on us. God Himself [is] our salvation. (Selah)
| בָּרוּךְ אֲדֹנָי יוֹם ׀ יוֹם יַעֲמׇס־לָנוּ הָאֵל יְֽשׁוּעָתֵנוּ סֶֽלָה׃ |
20 God Himself [is] to us a God for deliverances, And Jehovah Lord hath the outgoings of death.
| הָאֵל ׀ לָנוּ אֵל לְֽמוֹשָׁעוֹת וְלֵיהֹוִה אֲדֹנָי לַמָּוֶת תֹּצָאֽוֹת׃ |
21 Only — God doth smite The head of His enemies, The hairy crown of a habitual walker in his guilt.
| אַךְ־אֱלֹהִים יִמְחַץ רֹאשׁ אֹיְבָיו קׇדְקֹד שֵׂעָר מִתְהַלֵּךְ בַּאֲשָׁמָֽיו׃ |
22 The Lord said: 'From Bashan I bring back, I bring back from the depths of the sea.
| אָמַר אֲדֹנָי מִבָּשָׁן אָשִׁיב אָשִׁיב מִֽמְּצֻלוֹת יָֽם׃ |
23 So that thou dashest thy foot in blood, [In the blood of] enemies — the tongue of Thy dogs.'
| לְמַעַן ׀ תִּמְחַץ רַגְלְךָ בְּדָם לְשׁוֹן כְּלָבֶיךָ מֵאֹיְבִים מִנֵּֽהוּ׃ |
24 They have seen Thy goings, O God, Goings of my God, my king, in the sanctuary.
| רָאוּ הֲלִיכוֹתֶיךָ אֱלֹהִים הֲלִיכוֹת אֵלִי מַלְכִּי בַקֹּֽדֶשׁ׃ |
25 Singers have been before, Behind [are] players on instruments, In the midst virgins playing with timbrels.
| קִדְּמוּ שָׁרִים אַחַר נֹגְנִים בְּתוֹךְ עֲלָמוֹת תּוֹפֵפֽוֹת׃ |
26 In assemblies bless ye God, The Lord — from the fountain of Israel.
| בְּֽמַקְהֵלוֹת בָּרְכוּ אֱלֹהִים אֲדֹנָי מִמְּקוֹר יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ |
27 There [is] little Benjamin their ruler, Heads of Judah their defence, Heads of Zebulun — heads of Naphtali.
| שָׁם בִּנְיָמִן ׀ צָעִיר רֹדֵם שָׂרֵי יְהוּדָה רִגְמָתָם שָׂרֵי זְבֻלוּן שָׂרֵי נַפְתָּלִֽי׃ |
28 Thy God hath commanded thy strength, Be strong, O God, this Thou hast wrought for us.
| צִוָּה אֱלֹהֶיךָ עֻזֶּךָ עוּזָּה אֱלֹהִים זוּ פָּעַלְתָּ לָּֽנוּ׃ |
29 Because of Thy temple at Jerusalem, To Thee do kings bring a present.
| מֵהֵיכָלֶךָ עַל־יְרוּשָׁלָ͏ִם לְךָ יוֹבִילוּ מְלָכִים שָֽׁי׃ |
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.
| גְּעַר חַיַּת קָנֶה עֲדַת אַבִּירִים ׀ בְּעֶגְלֵי עַמִּים מִתְרַפֵּס בְּרַצֵּי־כָסֶף בִּזַּר עַמִּים קְרָבוֹת יֶחְפָּֽצוּ׃ |
31 Come do fat ones out of Egypt, Cush causeth her hands to run to God.
| יֶאֱתָיוּ חַשְׁמַנִּים מִנִּי מִצְרָיִם כּוּשׁ תָּרִיץ יָדָיו לֵאלֹהִֽים׃ |
32 Kingdoms of the earth, sing ye to God, Praise ye the Lord. (Selah)
| מַמְלְכוֹת הָאָרֶץ שִׁירוּ לֵאלֹהִים זַמְּרוּ אֲדֹנָי סֶֽלָה׃ |
33 To him who is riding on the heavens of the heavens of old, Lo, He giveth with His voice a strong voice.
| לָרֹכֵב בִּשְׁמֵי שְׁמֵי־קֶדֶם הֵן יִתֵּן בְּקוֹלוֹ קוֹל עֹֽז׃ |
34 Ascribe ye strength to God, Over Israel [is] His excellency, and His strength in the clouds.
| תְּנוּ עֹז לֵאלֹהִים עַֽל־יִשְׂרָאֵל גַּאֲוָתוֹ וְעֻזּוֹ בַּשְּׁחָקִֽים׃ |
35 Fearful, O God, out of Thy sanctuaries, The God of Israel Himself, Giving strength and might to the people. Blessed [is] God!
| נוֹרָא אֱלֹהִים מִֽמִּקְדָּשֶׁיךָ אֵל יִשְׂרָאֵל הוּא נֹתֵן ׀ עֹז וְתַעֲצֻמוֹת לָעָם בָּרוּךְ אֱלֹהִֽים׃ |
