Psalms 68
Reading view
1To the Overseer. -- A Psalm, a song of David. Rise doth God -- scattered are His enemies! And those hating Him flee from His face.
2As the driving away of smoke Thou drivest away, As the melting of wax before fire, The wicked perish at the presence of God.
4Sing ye to God -- praise His name, Raise up a highway for Him who is riding in deserts, In Jah `is' His name, and exult before Him.
6God -- causing the lonely to dwell at home, Bringing out bound ones into prosperity, Only -- the refractory have inhabited a dry place.
8The earth hath shaken, Yea, the heavens have dropped before God, This Sinai -- before God, the God of Israel.
9A shower of free-will gifts thou shakest out, O God. Thine inheritance, when it hath been weary, Thou hast established it.
13Though ye do lie between two boundaries, Wings of a dove covered with silver, And her pinions with yellow gold.
16Why do ye envy, O high hills, The hill God hath desired for His seat? Jehovah also doth tabernacle for ever.
17The chariots of God `are' myriads, thousands of changes, The Lord `is' among them, in Sinai, in the sanctuary.
18Thou hast ascended on high, Thou hast taken captive captivity, Thou hast taken gifts for men, That even the refractory may rest, O Jah God.
21Only -- God doth smite The head of His enemies, The hairy crown of a habitual walker in his guilt.
25Singers have been before, Behind `are' players on instruments, In the midst virgins playing with timbrels.
27There `is' little Benjamin their ruler, Heads of Judah their defence, Heads of Zebulun -- heads of Naphtali.
30Rebuke a beast of the reeds, a company of bulls, With calves of the peoples, Each humbling himself with pieces of silver, Scatter Thou peoples delighting in conflicts.
