68 To the Overseer. -- A Psalm, a song of David. Rise doth God -- scattered are His enemies! And those hating Him flee from His face.

² As the driving away of smoke Thou drivest away, As the melting of wax before fire, The wicked perish at the presence of God.

³ And the righteous rejoice, they exult before God, And they joy with gladness.

⁴ Sing 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.

⁵ Father of the fatherless, and judge of the widows, [Is] God in His holy habitation.

⁶ God -- causing the lonely to dwell at home, Bringing out bound ones into prosperity, Only -- the refractory have inhabited a dry place.

⁷ O God, in Thy going forth before Thy people, In Thy stepping through the wilderness, Selah.

⁸ The earth hath shaken, Yea, the heavens have dropped before God, This Sinai -- before God, the God of Israel.

⁹ A shower of free-will gifts thou shakest out, O God. Thine inheritance, when it hath been weary, Thou hast established it.

¹⁰ Thy company have dwelt in it, Thou preparest in Thy goodness for the poor, O God.

¹¹ The Lord doth give the saying, The female proclaimers [are] a numerous host.

¹² Kings of hosts flee utterly away, And a female inhabitant of the house apportioneth spoil.

¹³ Though ye do lie between two boundaries, Wings of a dove covered with silver, And her pinions with yellow gold.

¹⁴ When the Mighty spreadeth kings in it, It doth snow in Salmon.

¹⁵ A hill of God [is] the hill of Bashan, A hill of heights [is] the hill of Bashan.

¹⁶ Why do ye envy, O high hills, The hill God hath desired for His seat? Jehovah also doth tabernacle for ever.

¹⁷ The chariots of God [are] myriads, thousands of changes, The Lord [is] among them, in Sinai, in the sanctuary.

¹⁸ Thou hast ascended on high, Thou hast taken captive captivity, Thou hast taken gifts for men, That even the refractory may rest, O Jah God.
