Mazmur 68
1 Untuk pemimpin kor. Mazmur Daud. Allah bangkit menceraiberaikan musuh-Nya, orang yang membenci Dia lari dari hadapan-Nya.
To the chief Musician, A Psalm [or] Song of David. Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered: let them also that hate him flee before him.
2 Allah mengusir mereka pergi, seperti asap yang ditiup dan menghilang. Seperti lilin meleleh di dalam api, begitulah orang jahat lenyap dari hadapan Allah.
As smoke is driven away, [so] drive [them] away: as wax melteth before the fire, [so] let the wicked perish at the presence of God.
3 Tetapi orang saleh bersukacita dan riang gembira, mereka bersorak-sorak kesukaan di hadapan Allah.
But let the righteous be glad; let them rejoice before God: yes, let them exceedingly rejoice.

God setteth the solitary in families: he bringeth out those who are bound with chains: but the rebellious dwell in a dry [land].
7 Ya Allah, ketika Engkau membimbing umat-Mu berjalan melewati padang yang kering,
O God, when thou wentest forth before thy people, when thou didst march through the wilderness; (Selah)
8 bumi bergetar, hujan tercurah di hadapan-Mu, karena kedatangan Allah Sinai, Allah Israel.
The earth shook, the heavens also dropped at the presence of God: [even] Sinai itself [was moved] at the presence of God, the God of Israel.
9 Dengan limpah Engkau menurunkan hujan, dan memulihkan tanah-Mu yang gersang.
Thou, O God, didst send a plentiful rain, by which thou didst confirm thy inheritance, when it was weary.
10 Lalu umat-Mu berdiam di sana; dalam kebaikan-Mu, ya Allah, Engkau memelihara orang miskin.
Thy congregation hath dwelt therein: thou, O God, hast prepared of thy goodness for the poor.
11 TUHAN memberi perintah, lalu para wanita membawa berita:
The LORD gave the word: great [was] the company of those that published [it].
12 "Raja-raja dan pasukannya sudah lari!" Mereka lari seperti merpati yang terbang pergi. Para wanita di rumah membagi-bagikan, perak dan emas yang ditinggalkan. Sekalipun banyak yang tidak ikut berperang, umat Allah telah memperoleh kemenangan.
Kings of armies fled apace: and she that tarried at home divided the spoil.

Why leap ye, ye lofty hills? [this is] the hill [which] God desireth to dwell in; yes, the LORD will dwell [in it] for ever.
17 Dengan puluhan ribu kereta kuat Allah tampil di antara mereka dalam keagungan-Nya.
The chariots of God [are] twenty thousand, [even] thousands of angels: the LORD [is] among them, [as in] Sinai, in the holy [place].
18 TUHAN naik ke tempat yang tinggi; banyak tawanan dibawa-Nya serta. Ia menerima persembahan dari antara manusia bahkan dari antara kaum pemberontak; supaya mereka berdiam bersama TUHAN Allah.
Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive: thou hast received gifts for men; yes, [for] the rebellious also, that the LORD God might dwell [among them].

23 supaya kamu membasuh kakimu dengan darah mereka, dan anjing-anjingmu menjilatnya sepuas-puasnya."
That thy foot may be dipped in the blood of thy enemies, [and] the tongue of thy dogs in the same.
24 Semua melihat pawai kemenangan-Mu, ya Allah, Allahku, Rajaku, diarak ke tempat kediaman-Nya.
They have seen thy goings, O God; [even] the goings of my God, my King, in the sanctuary.

Rebuke the company of spearmen, the multitude of the bulls, with the calves of the people, [till every one shall] submit himself with pieces of silver: scatter thou the people [that] delight in war.
