Psalm 68
Darby Translation
To the chief Musician. Of David. A Psalm: a Song.
68 Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered, and let them that hate him flee before him.
2 As smoke is driven, thou wilt drive them away; as wax melteth before the fire, the wicked shall perish at the presence of God.
3 But the righteous shall rejoice: they shall exult before God and be glad with joy.
4 Sing unto God, sing forth his name; cast up a way for him that rideth in the deserts: his name is Jah; and rejoice before him.
5 A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God in his holy habitation.
6 God maketh the solitary into families; those that were bound he bringeth out into prosperity: but the rebellious dwell in a parched [land].
7 O God, when thou wentest forth before thy people, when thou didst march through the wilderness—(Selah)—
8 The earth trembled, the heavens also dropped at the presence of God, yon Sinai, at the presence of God, the God of Israel.
9 Thou, O God, didst pour a plentiful rain upon thine inheritance, and when it was weary thou strengthenedst it.
10 Thy flock hath dwelt therein: thou hast prepared in thy goodness, for the afflicted, O God!
11 The Lord gives the word: great the host of the publishers.
12 Kings of armies flee; they flee, and she that tarrieth at home divideth the spoil.
13 Though ye have lain among the sheepfolds, [ye shall be as] wings of a dove covered with silver, and her feathers with green gold.
14 When the Almighty scattered kings in it, it became snow-white as Zalmon.
15 [As] mount Bashan is the mount of God, a many-peaked mountain, [as] mount Bashan.
16 Why do ye look with envy, ye many-peaked mountains, upon the mount that God hath desired for his abode? yea, Jehovah will dwell [there] for ever.
17 The chariots of God are twenty thousand, thousands upon thousands; the Lord is among them: it is a Sinai in holiness.
18 Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive: thou hast received gifts in Man, and even [for] the rebellious, for the dwelling [there] of Jah Elohim.
19 Blessed be the Lord: day by day doth he load us [with good], the God who is our salvation. Selah.
20 Our God is the God of salvation; and with Jehovah, the Lord, are the goings forth [even] from death.
21 Verily God will smite the head of his enemies, the hairy scalp of him that goeth on still in his trespasses.
22 The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will bring [them] again from the depth of the sea;
23 That thou mayest dip thy foot in blood: the tongue of thy dogs has its portion from enemies.
24 They have seen thy goings, O God, the goings of my God, my King, in the sanctuary.
25 The singers went before, the players on stringed instruments after, in the midst of maidens playing on tabrets.
26 In the congregations bless ye God, the Lord,—[ye] from the fountain of Israel.
27 There is little Benjamin, their ruler; the princes of Judah, their company; the princes of Zebulun, the princes of Naphtali.
28 Thy God hath commanded thy strength: strengthen, O God, that which thou hast wrought for us.
29 Because of thy temple at Jerusalem shall kings bring presents unto thee.
30 Rebuke the beast of the reeds, the assembly of the strong, with the calves of the peoples: [every one] submitteth himself with pieces of silver. Scatter the peoples that delight in war.
31 Great ones shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall quickly stretch out her hands unto God.
32 Ye kingdoms of the earth, sing unto God; sing psalms of the Lord, (Selah,)
33 Of him that rideth upon the heavens, the heavens which are of old: lo, he uttereth his voice, a mighty voice.
34 Ascribe ye strength unto God: his excellency is over Israel, and his strength is in the clouds.
35 Terrible art thou, O God, out of thy sanctuaries,—the God of Israel! He it is that giveth strength and might unto the people. Blessed be God!

68 Al Músico principal: Salmo de David: Canción. LEVANTESE Dios, sean esparcidos sus enemigos, Y huyan de su presencia los que le aborrecen.
2 Como es lanzado el humo, los lanzarás: Como se derrite la cera delante del fuego, Así perecerán los impíos delante de Dios.
3 Mas los justos se alegrarán: gozarse han delante de Dios, Y saltarán de alegría.
4 Cantad á Dios, cantad salmos á su nombre: Ensalzad al que sube sobre los cielos En JAH su nombre, y alegraos delante de él.
5 Padre de huérfanos y defensor de viudas, Es Dios en la morada de su santuario:
6 El Dios que hace habitar en familia los solos; Que saca á los aprisionados con grillos: Mas los rebeldes habitan en sequedad.
7 Oh Dios, cuando tú saliste delante de tu pueblo, Cuando anduviste por el desierto, (Selah,)
8 La tierra tembló; También destilaron los cielos á la presencia de Dios: Aquel Sinaí tembló delante de Dios, del Dios de Israel.
9 Abundante lluvia esparciste, oh Dios, á tu heredad; Y cuando se cansó, tú la recreaste.
10 Los que son de tu grey han morado en ella: Por tu bondad, oh Dios, has provisto al pobre.
11 El Señor daba palabra: De las evangelizantes había grande ejército.
12 Huyeron, huyeron reyes de ejércitos; Y las que se quedaban en casa partían los despojos.
13 Bien que fuiesteis echados entre los tiestos, Seréis como las alas de la paloma cubierta de plata, Y sus plumas con amarillez de oro.
14 Cuando esparció el Omnipotente los reyes en ella, Emblanquecióse ésta como la nieve en Salmón.
15 Monte de Dios es el monte de Basán; Monte alto el de Basán.
16 ¿Por qué os levantáis, oh montes altos? Este monte amó Dios para su asiento; Ciertamente Jehová habitará en él para siempre.
17 Los carros de Dios son veinte mil, y más millares de ángeles. El Señor entre ellos, como en Sinaí, así en el santuario.
18 Subiste á lo alto, cautivaste la cautividad, Tomaste dones para los hombres, Y también para los rebeldes, para que habite entre ellos JAH Dios.
19 Bendito el Señor; cada día nos colma de beneficios El Dios de nuestra salud. (Selah.)
20 Dios, nuestro Dios ha de salvarnos; Y de Dios Jehová es el librar de la muerte.
21 Ciertamente Dios herirá la cabeza de sus enemigos, La cabelluda mollera del que camina en sus pecados.
22 El Señor dijo: De Basán haré volver, Te haré volver de los profundos de la mar:
23 Porque tu pie se enrojecerá de sangre de tus enemigos, Y de ella la lengua de tus perros.
24 Vieron tus caminos, oh Dios; Los caminos de mi Dios, de mi Rey, en el santuario.
25 Los cantores iban delante, los tañedores detrás; En medio, las doncellas, con adufes.
26 Bendecid á Dios en congregaciones: Al Señor, vosotros de la estirpe de Israel.
27 Allí estaba el joven Benjamín señoreador de ellos, Los príncipes de Judá en su congregación, Los príncipes de Zabulón, los príncipes de Nephtalí.
28 Tu Dios ha ordenado tu fuerza; Confirma, oh Dios, lo que has obrado en nosotros.
29 Por razón de tu templo en Jerusalem Los reyes te ofrecerán dones.
30 Reprime la reunión de gentes armadas, La multitud de toros con los becerros de los pueblos, Hasta que todos se sometan con sus piezas de plata: Disipa los pueblos que se complacen en la guerra.
31 Vendrán príncipes de Egipto; Etiopía apresurará sus manos á Dios.
32 Reinos de la tierra, cantad á Dios, Cantad al Señor (Selah);
33 Al que cabalga sobre los cielos de los cielos que son de antiguo: He aquí á su voz dará voz de fortaleza.
34 Atribuid fortaleza á Dios: Sobre Israel es su magnificencia, Y su poder está en los cielos.
35 Terrible eres, oh Dios, desde tus santuarios: El Dios de Israel, él da fortaleza y vigor á su pueblo. Bendito Dios.

New International Version
Psalm 68[a]
For the director of music. Of David. A psalm. A song.
1 May God arise,(A) may his enemies be scattered;(B)
may his foes flee(C) before him.
2 May you blow them away like smoke—(D)
as wax melts(E) before the fire,
may the wicked perish(F) before God.
3 But may the righteous be glad
and rejoice(G) before God;
may they be happy and joyful.
4 Sing to God, sing in praise of his name,(H)
extol him who rides on the clouds[b](I);
rejoice before him—his name is the Lord.(J)
5 A father to the fatherless,(K) a defender of widows,(L)
is God in his holy dwelling.(M)
6 God sets the lonely(N) in families,[c](O)
he leads out the prisoners(P) with singing;
but the rebellious live in a sun-scorched land.(Q)
7 When you, God, went out(R) before your people,
when you marched through the wilderness,[d](S)
8 the earth shook,(T) the heavens poured down rain,(U)
before God, the One of Sinai,(V)
before God, the God of Israel.(W)
9 You gave abundant showers,(X) O God;
you refreshed your weary inheritance.
10 Your people settled in it,
and from your bounty,(Y) God, you provided(Z) for the poor.
11 The Lord announces the word,
and the women who proclaim it are a mighty throng:(AA)
12 “Kings and armies flee(AB) in haste;
the women at home divide the plunder.(AC)
13 Even while you sleep among the sheep pens,[e](AD)
the wings of my dove are sheathed with silver,
its feathers with shining gold.”
14 When the Almighty[f] scattered(AE) the kings in the land,
it was like snow fallen on Mount Zalmon.(AF)
15 Mount Bashan,(AG) majestic mountain,(AH)
Mount Bashan, rugged mountain,
16 why gaze in envy, you rugged mountain,
at the mountain where God chooses(AI) to reign,
where the Lord himself will dwell forever?(AJ)
17 The chariots(AK) of God are tens of thousands
and thousands of thousands;(AL)
the Lord has come from Sinai into his sanctuary.[g]
18 When you ascended(AM) on high,(AN)
you took many captives;(AO)
you received gifts from people,(AP)
even from[h] the rebellious(AQ)—
that you,[i] Lord God, might dwell there.
19 Praise be to the Lord, to God our Savior,(AR)
who daily bears our burdens.(AS)
20 Our God is a God who saves;(AT)
from the Sovereign Lord comes escape from death.(AU)
21 Surely God will crush the heads(AV) of his enemies,
the hairy crowns of those who go on in their sins.
22 The Lord says, “I will bring them from Bashan;
I will bring them from the depths of the sea,(AW)
23 that your feet may wade in the blood of your foes,(AX)
while the tongues of your dogs(AY) have their share.”
24 Your procession, God, has come into view,
the procession of my God and King into the sanctuary.(AZ)
25 In front are the singers,(BA) after them the musicians;(BB)
with them are the young women playing the timbrels.(BC)
26 Praise God in the great congregation;(BD)
praise the Lord in the assembly of Israel.(BE)
27 There is the little tribe(BF) of Benjamin,(BG) leading them,
there the great throng of Judah’s princes,
and there the princes of Zebulun and of Naphtali.(BH)
28 Summon your power,(BI) God[j];
show us your strength,(BJ) our God, as you have done(BK) before.
29 Because of your temple at Jerusalem
kings will bring you gifts.(BL)
30 Rebuke the beast(BM) among the reeds,(BN)
the herd of bulls(BO) among the calves of the nations.
Humbled, may the beast bring bars of silver.
Scatter the nations(BP) who delight in war.(BQ)
31 Envoys will come from Egypt;(BR)
Cush[k](BS) will submit herself to God.
32 Sing to God, you kingdoms of the earth,(BT)
sing praise(BU) to the Lord,
33 to him who rides(BV) across the highest heavens, the ancient heavens,
who thunders(BW) with mighty voice.(BX)
34 Proclaim the power(BY) of God,
whose majesty(BZ) is over Israel,
whose power is in the heavens.
35 You, God, are awesome(CA) in your sanctuary;(CB)
the God of Israel gives power and strength(CC) to his people.(CD)
Praise be to God!(CE)
