Salmos 68
1 Levántese Dios, espárzanse sus enemigos: y huyan los que le aborrecen delante de él.
God, arise and scatter your enemies, and cause those who hate you to run away from you.
2 Como es lanzado el humo, los lanzarás: como se derrite la cera delante del fuego, así perecerán los impíos delante de Dios.
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 los justos se alegrarán: regocijarse han delante de Dios, y saltarán de alegría.
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 Cantád a Dios, cantád salmos a su nombre: ensalzád al que cabalga sobre los cielos en Jah su nombre: y alegráos delante de él.
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 Padre de huérfanos, y defensor de viudas, Dios en la morada de su santuario.
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 El Dios que hace habitar los solos en casa: que saca los presos en grillos; mas los rebeldes habitan en sequedad.
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 O! Dios, cuando tú saliste delante de tu pueblo, cuando anduviste por el desierto, (Selah)
God, you led your people out [of Egypt], and then you marched with them through the desert.
8 La tierra tembló; también los cielos destilaron delante de Dios; aquel Sinaí tembló delante de Dios, del Dios 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 Lluvia de voluntades esparciste, o! Dios, a tu heredad; y cuando se cansó, tú la recreaste.
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].

11 El Señor daba palabra: de las evangelizantes había ejército grande.
The Lord gave a message, and many women took that message to other places.
12 Reyes de ejércitos huían, huían: y la moradora de la casa partía 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 Si fuereis echados entre las ollas, seréis como las alas de la paloma cubierta de plata, y sus plumas con amarillez de oro.
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 Cuando esparcía el Omnipotente los reyes en ella; ella se emblanquecía como la nieve en Salmón.
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 El monte de Dios, el monte de Basán: monte alto el monte de Basán.
There is a very high mountain in the Bashan [region], a mountain which has many peaks.
16 ¿Por qué saltasteis, o! montes altos? Este monte amó Dios para su asiento: ciertamente Jehová habitará en él para siempre.
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 Los carros de Dios dos millares de miles de ángeles: el Señor entre ellos, como en Sinaí, así en el santuario.
[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 Subiste a lo alto, cautivaste cautividad, tomaste dones para los hombres: y también los rebeldes para que habiten, o! Jah Dios.
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].

But God will smash the heads of his enemies, the skulls of those who continue to behave sinfully.
22 El Señor dijo: De Basán haré volver, haré volver de los profundos de la 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 Porque tu pie se embermejecerá de sangre de sus enemigos; y la lengua de tus perros de ella.

Scatter the people who enjoy making wars.
