得胜的凯歌

大卫作的诗,交给乐长。

68 愿上帝起来驱散祂的仇敌,
使恨祂的人四散奔逃。
愿你驱散他们,
如风把烟吹散。
愿恶人在上帝面前灭亡,
如蜡在火中熔化。
愿义人在上帝面前欢欣快乐,
愿他们高兴欢喜。
要歌颂上帝,
赞美祂的名,
要颂扬驾云而行的上帝。
祂的名字是耶和华,
要在祂面前欢喜快乐。
住在圣所的上帝是孤儿的父亲,寡妇的保护者。
祂使孤苦者有家,
让被囚者欢然脱离牢笼。
但叛逆者要住在干旱之地。
上帝啊,
你曾带领你的子民走过荒野。(细拉)
那时,在西奈山的上帝面前,
在以色列的上帝面前,
大地震动,诸天降雨。

上帝啊,你降下沛雨,
滋润你干旱的产业——以色列,
10 让你的子民得以安居在那里。
上帝啊,
你满怀恩慈地供养穷苦人。
11 主下达命令,
成群的妇女便奔走相告:
12 “众王和他们的军队逃走了,逃走了!”
以色列的妇女都在分战利品。
13 即使羊圈里的看羊人也披金戴银,
就像鸽子镀银的翅膀和金光闪闪的羽毛。
14 全能的上帝驱散了众王,
势如大雪洒落在撒们。
15 巴珊的山巍峨雄壮,群峰耸立。
16 崇山峻岭啊,
你们为何嫉妒地盯着上帝选为居所的山,
耶和华永远居住的地方呢?
17 上帝带着千千万万的战车从西奈山来到祂的圣所。
18 你升上高天时,
带着许多俘虏;
你接受了众人的礼物,
甚至叛逆者的礼物。
耶和华上帝就住在那里。
19 要称颂主,
称颂我们的救主上帝,
祂天天背负我们的重担。(细拉)

20 我们的上帝是拯救的上帝,
主耶和华救我们脱离死亡。
21 上帝必打碎仇敌的头颅,
敲破怙恶不悛者的脑袋。
22 主说:
“我要把他们从巴珊带回来,
从深海带回来,
23 好让你们的脚从他们的血泊中踩过,
你们的狗也可以吃他们的肉。”
24 上帝啊,你的队伍已经出现;
我的上帝,我的王啊,
你的队伍进了圣所,
25 歌唱的在前,奏乐的殿后,
摇手鼓的少女居中。
26 要在大会中赞美上帝,
以色列的会众都要赞美耶和华。
27 最小的便雅悯支派在前领路,
后面跟着大群的犹大首领,
还有西布伦和拿弗他利的首领。
28 上帝啊,求你施展你的权能;
上帝啊,求你像以前一样为我们彰显你的力量。
29 君王都带着礼物来到你耶路撒冷的圣殿。
30 求你斥责那芦苇中的野兽,
斥责成群的公牛和列邦的牛犊,
使他们俯首献上贡银。
求你驱散好战的列邦。
31 埃及的使节来朝见,
古实也要归降上帝。
32 世上的列国啊,
要向上帝歌唱,
你们要歌颂主,
33 歌颂凌驾在万古穹苍之上的主。
听啊,祂声如雷鸣。
34 你们要传扬上帝的大能,
祂的威荣普照以色列,
祂的权能彰显于穹苍。
35 上帝啊,你在圣所中令人敬畏。
以色列的上帝把力量和权能赐给祂的子民。
上帝当受称颂!

'Psalm 68 ' not found for the version: Disciples’ Literal New Testament.

The Glory of God in His Goodness to Israel

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. A Song.

68 Let (A)God arise,
Let His enemies be scattered;
Let those also who hate Him flee before Him.
(B)As smoke is driven away,
So drive them away;
(C)As wax melts before the fire,
So let the wicked perish at the presence of God.
But (D)let the righteous be glad;
Let them rejoice before God;
Yes, let them rejoice exceedingly.

Sing to God, sing praises to His name;
(E)Extol[a] Him who rides on the [b]clouds,
(F)By His name [c]Yah,
And rejoice before Him.

(G)A father of the fatherless, a defender of widows,
Is God in His holy habitation.
(H)God sets the solitary in families;
(I)He brings out those who are bound into prosperity;
But (J)the rebellious dwell in a dry land.

O God, (K)when You went out before Your people,
When You marched through the wilderness, Selah
The earth shook;
The heavens also dropped rain at the presence of God;
Sinai itself was moved at the presence of God, the God of Israel.
(L)You, O God, sent a plentiful rain,
Whereby You confirmed Your inheritance,
When it was weary.
10 Your congregation dwelt in it;
(M)You, O God, provided from Your goodness for the poor.

11 The Lord gave the word;
Great was the [d]company of those who proclaimed it:
12 “Kings(N) of armies flee, they flee,
And she who remains at home divides the [e]spoil.
13 (O)Though you lie down among the [f]sheepfolds,
(P)You will be like the wings of a dove covered with silver,
And her feathers with yellow gold.”
14 (Q)When the Almighty scattered kings in it,
It was white as snow in Zalmon.

15 A mountain of God is the mountain of Bashan;
A mountain of many peaks is the mountain of Bashan.
16 Why do you [g]fume with envy, you mountains of many peaks?
(R)This is the mountain which God desires to dwell in;
Yes, the Lord will dwell in it forever.

17 (S)The chariots of God are twenty thousand,
Even thousands of thousands;
The Lord is among them as in Sinai, in the Holy Place.
18 (T)You have ascended on high,
(U)You have led captivity captive;
(V)You have received gifts among men,
Even from (W)the rebellious,
(X)That the Lord God might dwell there.

19 Blessed be the Lord,
Who daily loads us with benefits,
The God of our salvation! Selah
20 Our God is the God of salvation;
And (Y)to God the Lord belong escapes from death.

21 But (Z)God will wound the head of His enemies,
(AA)The hairy scalp of the one who still goes on in his trespasses.
22 The Lord said, “I will bring (AB)back from Bashan,
I will bring them back (AC)from the depths of the sea,
23 (AD)That [h]your foot may crush them in blood,
(AE)And the tongues of your dogs may have their portion from your enemies.”

24 They have seen Your [i]procession, O God,
The procession of my God, my King, into the sanctuary.
25 (AF)The singers went before, the players on instruments followed after;
Among them were the maidens playing timbrels.
26 Bless God in the congregations,
The Lord, from (AG)the fountain of Israel.
27 (AH)There is little Benjamin, their leader,
The princes of Judah and their [j]company,
The princes of Zebulun and the princes of Naphtali.

28 [k]Your God has (AI)commanded your strength;
Strengthen, O God, what You have done for us.
29 Because of Your temple at Jerusalem,
(AJ)Kings will bring presents to You.
30 Rebuke the beasts of the reeds,
(AK)The herd of bulls with the calves of the peoples,
Till everyone (AL)submits himself with pieces of silver.
Scatter the peoples who delight in war.
31 (AM)Envoys will come out of Egypt;
(AN)Ethiopia will quickly (AO)stretch out her hands to God.

32 Sing to God, you (AP)kingdoms of the earth;
Oh, sing praises to the Lord, Selah
33 To Him (AQ)who rides on the heaven of heavens, which were of old!
Indeed, He sends out His voice, a (AR)mighty voice.
34 (AS)Ascribe strength to God;
His excellence is over Israel,
And His strength is in the clouds.
35 O God, (AT)You are more awesome than Your holy places.
The God of Israel is He who gives strength and power to His people.

Blessed be God!
