求主兴起使恶人消灭义人欢欣

68 大卫的诗歌,交于伶长。

愿神兴起,使他的仇敌四散,叫那恨他的人从他面前逃跑。
他们被驱逐,如烟被风吹散;恶人见神之面而消灭,如蜡被火熔化。
唯有义人必然欢喜,在神面前高兴快乐。
你们当向神唱诗,歌颂他的名,为那坐车行过旷野的修平大路——他的名是耶和华,要在他面前欢乐!
神在他的圣所做孤儿的父,做寡妇的申冤者。
神叫孤独的有家,使被囚的出来享福,唯有悖逆的住在干燥之地。

赞美神眷顾其民

神啊,你曾在你百姓前头出来,在旷野行走。(细拉)

那时地见神的面而震动,天也落雨,西奈山见以色列神的面也震动。
神啊,你降下大雨,你产业以色列疲乏的时候,你使他坚固。
10 你的会众住在其中,神啊,你的恩惠是为困苦人预备的。
11 主发命令,传好信息的妇女成了大群。
12 统兵的君王逃跑了,逃跑了!在家等候的妇女,分受所夺的。
13 你们安卧在羊圈的时候,好像鸽子的翅膀镀白银,翎毛镀黄金一般。
14 全能者在境内赶散列王的时候,势如飘雪在撒们
15 巴珊山是神的山,巴珊山是多峰多岭的山。
16 你们多峰多岭的山哪,为何斜看神所愿居住的山?耶和华必住这山,直到永远。
17 神的车辇累万盈千,主在其中,好像在西奈圣山一样。
18 你已经升上高天,掳掠仇敌。你在人间,就是在悖逆的人间,受了供献,叫耶和华神可以与他们同住。

称颂神施行大能

19 天天背负我们重担的主,就是拯救我们的神,是应当称颂的!(细拉)

20 神是为我们施行诸般救恩的神,人能脱离死亡是在乎主耶和华。
21 但神要打破他仇敌的头,就是那常犯罪之人的发顶。
22 主说:“我要使众民从巴珊而归,使他们从深海而回,
23 使你打碎仇敌,你的脚踹在血中,使你狗的舌头从其中得份。”
24 神啊,你是我的神,我的王,人已经看见你行走,进入圣所。
25 歌唱的行在前,作乐的随在后,都在击鼓的童女中间。
26 以色列源头而来的,当在各会中称颂主神。
27 在那里有统管他们的小便雅悯,有犹大的首领和他们的群众,有西布伦的首领,有拿弗他利的首领。
28 以色列的能力是神所赐的,神啊,求你坚固你为我们所成全的事。
29 因你耶路撒冷的殿,列王必带贡物献给你。
30 求你叱喝芦苇中的野兽和群公牛,并列邦中的牛犊,把银块踹在脚下;神已经赶散好争战的列邦。
31 埃及的公侯要出来朝见神,古实人要急忙举手祷告。
32 世上的列国啊,你们要向神歌唱!愿你们歌颂主,
33 歌颂那自古驾行在诸天以上的主!他发出声音,是极大的声音。
34 你们要将能力归给神,他的威荣在以色列之上,他的能力是在穹苍。
35 神啊,你从圣所显为可畏。以色列的神是那将力量、权能赐给他百姓的。神是应当称颂的!

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!

This psalm is a song that David wrote for the music leader.

God will win![a]

68 God will rise up
    and he will chase his enemies away!
The people who hate him
    will quickly run away from him![b]
God, blow them away,
    as wind blows smoke away.
Destroy those wicked people,
    as wax melts near a fire!
But righteous people will be happy,
    when they come near to you.
They will shout with joy,
    because they are so happy!
Sing songs to God!
    Sing to praise his name!
He is the one who rides on the clouds,
    so praise him aloud!
His name is the Lord!
    Shout with joy to worship him!
God is a father for those who have no father.
    He takes care of widows.
He rules from his holy home.
God gives homes and a family to lonely people.
He makes prisoners go free
    so that they are happy.
But people who turn against him
    have to live in a hot, dry land.[c]
God, you led your people out.
You took them across the desert.
Selah.
Then the ground shook,
    and rain poured down from the sky.
You showed your power at Sinai mountain.
You are the God who rules at Sinai.[d]
You are the God that Israel's people serve.
God, you caused much rain to fall
    on your special land.
You made it fresh again
    when it had been dry.[e]
10 Your own people came to live in it.
God, because you are kind,
    you gave many good things to poor people.
11 The Lord gives a command!
Very many women take his message to other places.
12 Kings with large armies quickly run away.
    Yes, they run away!
The women at home share the valuable things
    that the armies have left behind.
13 Even those who stayed to take care of the sheep
    found valuable things,
like a dove with silver wings
    and bright gold feathers.[f]
14 When the Almighty God chased away foreign kings,
    it was like snow that fell on Mount Zalmon.
15 Bashan mountain is great, like God.
    It has many high rocks.
16 You high mountains, why are you jealous
    when you look at Zion mountain?
That is the mountain where God has chosen to live.
Yes, that is where the Lord will live for ever!
17 God has millions of chariots.
The Lord has come from Sinai mountain
    to his own holy place.
18 When you went up to the highest place,
    you took many prisoners with you.
You received gifts from men,
    even from the men who had fought against you.
Yes, the Lord God lives there!
19 Praise the Lord, as he deserves!
Every day he helps us with our troubles.
    He is the God who keeps us safe!
Selah.
20 Our God is the God who rescues people.
The Almighty Lord saves us from death.
21 He will knock down the heads of his enemies.
He will destroy their skulls and their long hair,
    if they continue to turn against him.
22 The Lord says, ‘I will bring my enemies back from Bashan,
    even from deep down in the sea.
23 Then you can wash your feet in their blood.
    Your dogs can have as much as they want!’[g]
24 God, you are my God and my King.
People will see the great crowd that goes with you,
    as you go to your holy temple.
25 The singers will march in front.
    The musicians will follow them.
Young women will be with them
    as they beat their tambourines.
26 They all sing,
    ‘Praise God, all you crowd of people!
All you people of Israel,
    praise the Lord!’
27 Benjamin, the smallest tribe, will lead them all.
The leaders of Judah, with their big group, will follow.
Then will come the leaders of Zebulun and Naphtali.[h]
28 God has commanded that you should be strong.
God, please show again how strong you are,
    as you have used your strength to help us in past times.
29 As you live in your temple in Jerusalem,
    kings will bring gifts to you.
30 Speak against your enemies!
Some are like wild animals that live in the reeds.[i]
Some are proud nations,
    like bulls among their young cows.
They must be humble and offer to you
    gifts of valuable silver things.
Chase away those nations that like to fight wars.
31 Egypt's leaders will come with gifts.
People will come from Cush
    and they will agree to serve God.[j]
32 All you kingdoms of the earth,
    sing to God!
Yes, sing to praise the Lord!
Selah.
33 He is the one who rides in the sky,
    as he has done from the beginning of time.
Listen! He shouts with a powerful voice.
34 Agree that God is very powerful!
He is the King who rules over Israel.
    He shows his power in the skies.
35 God, how great you are,
    as you come from your holy temple!
He is the God of Israel.
He gives power to his people,
    and he makes them strong.
Praise God as he deserves!
