Salmos 68
1 Sea visto Dios, y que sus enemigos se echen a volar; que los que están contra él retrocedan ante él.
God, arise and scatter your enemies, and cause those who hate you to run away from you.
2 Sean como el humo delante del viento impetuoso; como la cera que se vuelve suave ante el fuego, dejen que lleguen a su fin antes del poder 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 Pero los justos estén contentos; déjalos deleitarse delante de Dios; déjalos estar llenos 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 Haz canciones a Dios, haz canciones de alabanza a su nombre; hacer un camino para el que viene a través de las tierras baldías; su nombre es Jah; alégrate 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 Un padre para los que no tienen padre, un juez de las viudas, es Dios en su 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 Los que no tienen amigos, Dios los pone en familias; él libera a los que están encadenados; pero a los que son rechazados se les da tierra 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 Oh Dios, cuando saliste delante de tu pueblo, vagando por el desierto; (Selah)
God, you led your people out [of Egypt], and then you marched with them through the desert.
8 La tierra temblaba y los cielos fluían, porque Dios estaba presente; incluso el mismo Sinaí fue movido ante Dios, el 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 Tú, oh Dios, enviaste libremente la lluvia, dando fortaleza al cansancio de tu herencia.
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 Aquellos cuyo lugar de descanso estaba allí, incluso los pobres, fueron consolados por tus bienes, oh Dios.
Your people built homes there; and because you were good to them, you provided [food] for those who were poor.
11 El Señor da la palabra; grande es el número de mujeres que lo hacen público.
The Lord gave a message, and many women took that message to other places.
12 Reyes de ejércitos huyen rápidamente, y las mujeres de las casas hacen una división de sus bienes.
[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 ¿Tomarás tu descanso entre las multitudes? como las alas de una paloma cubierta de plata, y sus plumas de oro amarillo.
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 el Altísimo hizo volar a los reyes, estaba tan blanco 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 Una colina de Dios es la colina de Basán; una colina con altas cimas es la colina de Bashan.
There is a very high mountain in the Bashan [region], a mountain which has many peaks.
16 ¿Por qué miras con envidia, oh alta montaña, en la colina deseada por Dios como su lugar de reposo? verdaderamente, Dios lo hará su casa 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 El carro de guerra de Dios está entre los miles de Israel; el Señor ha venido del Sinaí al 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 Has subido a lo alto, llevándote a tus prisioneros; has tomado ofrendas de los hombres; el Señor Dios ha tomado su lugar en el asiento de su poder.
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 Las cabezas de los aborrecedores de Dios serán aplastadas; incluso la cabeza de él que todavía sigue en su mal camino.
But God will smash the heads of his enemies, the skulls of those who continue to behave sinfully.
22 Dijo el Señor: Los haré volver de Basán y de las profundidades del 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 tu pie se ponga rojo de sangre, y la lengua de tus perros con lo mismo.
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.”
24 Vemos tu marcha, oh Dios: hasta el ir de mi Dios, mi Rey, al lugar santo.
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.

29 Fuera de tu templo en Jerusalén.
Show that power from your temple in Jerusalem, where kings bring gifts to you.
30 Reprende a Egipto, a la bestia de entre las plantas de agua, a esa manada de toros y becerros, con los señores de los pueblos, acaba con la gente cuyo deleite está en la 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 Reyes te darán ofrendas, saldrán de Egipto; vendrán embajadores, traerán plata; Etiopía extenderá sus manos a Dios.
