Salmos 68
1 Levante-se Deus, e sejam dissipados os seus inimigos; fugirão de diante dele os que o aborrecem.
God, arise and scatter your enemies, and cause those who hate you to run away from you.
2 Como se impele o fumo assim tu os impeles; assim como a cera se derrete diante do fogo, assim pereçam os ímpios diante de Deus.
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).
3 Mas alegrem-se os justos, e se regozijem na presença de Deus, e folguem de alegria.
But righteous people should be joyful; they should rejoice when they are in God’s presence; they should be happy, and be very joyful.
4 Cantai a Deus, cantai louvores ao seu nome; louvai aquele que vai montado sobre os céus, pois o seu nome é Jah, e exultai diante dele.
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.
5 Pai de órfãos e juiz de viúvas é Deus, no seu lugar santo.
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.
6 Deus faz que o solitário viva em família: liberta aqueles que estão presos em grilhões; mas os rebeldes habitam em terra seca.
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.
7 Ó Deus, quando saías diante do teu povo, quando caminhavas pelo deserto, (Selah)
God, you led your people out [of Egypt], and then you marched with them through the desert.
8 A terra se abalava, e os céus destilavam perante a face de Deus; até o próprio Sinai foi comovido na presença de Deus, do Deus de Israel.
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.
9 Tu, ó Deus, mandaste a chuva em abundância, confortaste a tua herança, quando estava cançada.
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].
10 Nela habitava o teu rebanho; tu, ó Deus, preparaste na tua bondade para o pobre.
Your people built homes there; and because you were good to them, you provided [food] for those who were poor.
11 O Senhor deu a palavra: grande era o exército dos que anunciavam as boas novas.

12 Reis de exércitos fugiram à pressa; e aquela que ficava em casa repartia os despojos.
[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].
13 Ainda que vos tenhais deitado entre panelas, contudo sereis como as asas de uma pomba, cobertas de prata, e as suas penas de ouro amarelo.
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.
14 Quando o onipotente ali espalhou os reis, ela ficou alva como a neve em Salmon.
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].
15 O monte de Deus é como o monte de Basan, um monte elevado como o monte de Basan.
There is a very high mountain in the Bashan [region], a mountain which has many peaks.
16 Porque saltais, ó montes elevados? este é o monte que Deus desejou para a sua habitação, e o Senhor habitará nele eternamente.
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!
17 Os carros de Deus são vinte milhares, milhares de milhares. O Senhor está entre eles, como em Sinai, no lugar santo.
[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].
18 Tu subiste ao alto, levaste cativo o cativeiro, recebeste dons para os homens, e até para os rebeldes, para que o Senhor Deus habitasse entre eles.
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].

21 Mas Deus ferirá gravemente a cabeça de seus inimigos e o crâneo cabeludo do que anda em suas culpas.
But God will smash the heads of his enemies, the skulls of those who continue to behave sinfully.
22 Disse o Senhor: Eu os farei voltar de Basan, farei voltar o meu povo das profundezas do mar.
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].
23 Para que o teu pé mergulhe no sangue de teus inimigos, e no mesmo a língua dos teus cães.

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.
28 O teu Deus ordenou a tua força: fortalece, ó Deus, o que já obraste para nós.
God, show people that you are very powerful; show people the power with which you have helped us previously.
29 Por amor do teu templo em Jerusalém, os reis te trarão presentes.
Show that power from your temple in Jerusalem, where kings bring gifts to you.
30 Repreende asperamente as feras das canas, a multidão dos touros, com os novilhos dos povos, até que cada um se submeta com pedaços de prata; dissipa os povos que desejam a guerra.
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.
31 Embaixadores reais virão do Egito; a Ethiopia cedo estenderá para Deus as suas mãos.
