Chapter 68

To the chief Musician, A Mizmor or Song of David.

1

LET Elohiym arise, let his enemies be scattered: let them also that hate him flee before him.

2

As smoke is driven away, so drive them away: as wax melts before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of Elohiym.

3

But let the righteous be glad; let them rejoice before Elohiym: yea, let them exceedingly rejoice.

4

Sing unto Elohiym, sing praises to his name: extol him that rides upon the heavens by his name Yah, and rejoice before him.

5

A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is Elohiym in his holy habitation.

6

Elohiym sets the solitary in families: he brings out those which are bound with chains: but the rebellious dwell in a dry land.

7

O Elohiym, when you went forth before your people, when you did march through the wilderness; Celah:

8

The earth shook, the heavens also dropped at the presence of Elohiym: even Ciynai itself was moved at the presence of Elohiym, the Elohai of Yashar'el.

9

You, O Elohiym, did send a plentiful rain, whereby you did confirm your inheritance, when it was weary.

10

Your assembly has dwelt therein: you, O Elohiym, have prepared of your goodness for the poor.

11

Adonai gave the word: great was the company of those that published it.

12

Kings of armies did flee apace: and she that tarried at home divided the spoil.

13

Though ye have lien among the pots, yet shall ye be as the wings of a dove covered with silver, and her feathers with yellow gold.

14

When El Shaddai scattered kings in it, it was white as snow in Salmah.

15

The hill of Elohiym is as the hill of Bashan; a high hill as the hill of Bashan.

16

Why leap ye, ye high hills? this is the hill which Elohiym desires to dwell in; yea, Yahuah will dwell in it forever.

17

The chariots of Elohiym are twenty thousand, even thousands of angels: Adonai is among them, as in Ciynai, in the holy place.

18

You have ascended on high, you have led captivity captive: you have received gifts for men; yea, for the rebellious also, that Yah Elohiym might dwell among them.

19

Blessed be Adonai, who daily loads us with benefits, even the El of our yeshu`ah. Celah.

20

He that is our Elohiym is the El of yeshu`ah; and unto Yahuah Adonai belong the issues from death.

21

But Elohiym shall wound the head of his enemies, and the hairy scalp of such one as goes on still in his transgressions.

22

Adonai said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will bring my people again from the depths of the sea:

23

That your foot may be dipped in the blood of your enemies, and the tongue of your dogs in the same.

24

They have seen your goings, O Elohiym; even the goings of my El, my King, in the sanctuary.

25

The singers went before, the players on instruments followed after; among them were the damsels playing with timbrels.

26

Bless ye Elohiym in the assemblies, even Adonai, from the fountain of Yashar'el.

27

There is little Binyamiyn with their ruler, the princes of Yahudah and their council, the princes of Zevulun, and the princes of Naphtaliy.

28

Your Elohiym has commanded your strength: strengthen, O Elohiym, that which you have wrought for us.

29

Because of your Temple at Yerushalayim shall kings bring presents unto you.

30

Rebuke the company of spearmen, the multitude of the bulls, with the calves of the people, till everyone submit himself with pieces of silver: scatter you the people that delight in war.

31

Princes shall come out of Mitsrayim; Kush shall soon stretch out her hands unto Elohiym.

32

Sing unto Elohiym, ye kingdoms of the earth; O sing praises unto Adonai; Celah:

33

To him that rides upon the heavens of heavens, which were of old; lo, he sends out his voice, and that a mighty voice.

34

Ascribe ye strength unto Elohiym: his excellency is over Yashar'el, and his strength is in the clouds.

35

O Elohiym, you are terrible out of your holy places: the El of Yashar'el is he that gives strength and power unto his people. Blessed be Elohiym.
