Psalm 68
King James Version
68 Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered: let them also that hate him flee before him.
2 As smoke is driven away, so drive them away: as wax melteth before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God.
3 But let the righteous be glad; let them rejoice before God: yea, let them exceedingly rejoice.
4 Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth upon the heavens by his name 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 setteth the solitary in families: he bringeth out those which are bound with chains: but the rebellious dwell in a dry land.
7 O God, when thou wentest forth before thy people, when thou didst march through the wilderness; Selah:
8 The earth shook, the heavens also dropped at the presence of God: even Sinai itself was moved at the presence of God, the God of Israel.
9 Thou, O God, didst send a plentiful rain, whereby thou didst confirm thine inheritance, when it was weary.
10 Thy congregation hath dwelt therein: thou, O God, hast prepared of thy goodness for the poor.
11 The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that published it.
12 Kings of armies did flee apace: and she that tarried at home divided the spoil.
13 Though ye have lien among the pots, yet shall ye be as the wings of a dove covered with silver, and her feathers with yellow gold.
14 When the Almighty scattered kings in it, it was white as snow in Salmon.
15 The hill of God is as the hill of Bashan; an high hill as the hill of Bashan.
16 Why leap ye, ye high hills? this is the hill which God desireth to dwell in; yea, the Lord will dwell in it for ever.
17 The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands of angels: the Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in the holy place.
18 Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive: thou hast received gifts for men; yea, for the rebellious also, that the Lord God might dwell among them.
19 Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah.
20 He that is our God is the God of salvation; and unto God the Lord belong the issues from death.
21 But God shall wound the head of his enemies, and the hairy scalp of such an one as goeth on still in his trespasses.
22 The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will bring my people again from the depths of the sea:
23 That thy foot may be dipped in the blood of thine enemies, and the tongue of thy dogs in the same.
24 They have seen thy goings, O God; even the goings of my God, my King, in the sanctuary.
25 The singers went before, the players on instruments followed after; among them were the damsels playing with timbrels.
26 Bless ye God in the congregations, even the Lord, from the fountain of Israel.
27 There is little Benjamin with their ruler, the princes of Judah and their council, the princes of Zebulun, and 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 company of spearmen, the multitude of the bulls, with the calves of the people, till every one submit himself with pieces of silver: scatter thou the people that delight in war.
31 Princes shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall soon stretch out her hands unto God.
32 Sing unto God, ye kingdoms of the earth; O sing praises unto the Lord; Selah:
33 To him that rideth upon the heavens of heavens, which were of old; lo, he doth send out his voice, and that a mighty voice.
34 Ascribe ye strength unto God: his excellency is over Israel, and his strength is in the clouds.
35 O God, thou art terrible out of thy holy places: the God of Israel is he that giveth strength and power unto his people. Blessed be God.
Psalm 68
English Standard Version
God Shall Scatter His Enemies
To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. A Song.
68 (A)God shall arise, his enemies shall be (B)scattered;
and those who hate him shall flee before him!
2 As (C)smoke is driven away, so you shall drive them away;
(D)as wax melts before fire,
so the wicked shall perish before God!
3 But (E)the righteous shall be glad;
they shall exult before God;
they shall be jubilant with joy!
4 Sing to God, (F)sing praises to his name;
(G)lift up a song to him who (H)rides through (I)the deserts;
his name is (J)the Lord;
exult before him!
5 (K)Father of the fatherless and (L)protector of widows
is God in his holy habitation.
6 God (M)settles the solitary in a home;
he (N)leads out the prisoners to prosperity,
but (O)the rebellious dwell in (P)a parched land.
7 O God, when you (Q)went out before your people,
(R)when you marched through (S)the wilderness, Selah
8 (T)the earth quaked, the heavens poured down rain,
before God, the One of Sinai,
before God,[a] the God of Israel.
9 (U)Rain in abundance, O God, you shed abroad;
you restored your inheritance as it languished;
10 your flock[b] found a dwelling in it;
in your goodness, O God, you (V)provided for the needy.
11 The Lord gives (W)the word;
(X)the women who announce the news are a great host:
12 (Y)“The kings of the armies—they flee, they flee!”
The women at home (Z)divide the spoil—
13 though you men lie among (AA)the sheepfolds—
the wings of a dove covered with silver,
its pinions with shimmering gold.
14 When the Almighty scatters kings there,
let snow fall on (AB)Zalmon.
15 O mountain of God, mountain of Bashan;
O many-peaked[c] mountain, mountain of Bashan!
16 Why do you look with hatred, O many-peaked mountain,
at the mount that God (AC)desired for his abode,
yes, where the Lord will dwell forever?
17 (AD)The chariots of God are twice ten thousand,
thousands upon thousands;
the Lord is among them; Sinai is now in the sanctuary.
18 (AE)You ascended on high,
(AF)leading a host of captives in your train
and (AG)receiving gifts among men,
even among (AH)the rebellious, (AI)that the Lord God may dwell there.
19 Blessed be the Lord,
who daily (AJ)bears us up;
God is our salvation. Selah
20 Our God is a God of salvation,
(AK)and to God, the Lord, belong deliverances from death.
21 (AL)But God will strike the heads of his enemies,
the hairy crown of him who walks in his guilty ways.
22 The Lord said,
“I will bring them back (AM)from Bashan,
(AN)I will bring them back from the depths of the sea,
23 that you may (AO)strike your feet in their blood,
that (AP)the tongues of your dogs may have their portion from the foe.”
24 Your procession is[d] seen, O God,
the procession of my God, my King, into the sanctuary—
25 (AQ)the singers in front, (AR)the musicians last,
between them (AS)virgins playing tambourines:
26 (AT)“Bless God in the great congregation,
the Lord, O you[e] who are of (AU)Israel's fountain!”
27 There is (AV)Benjamin, the least of them, in the lead,
the princes of Judah in their throng,
the princes of (AW)Zebulun, the princes of Naphtali.
28 (AX)Summon your power, O God,[f]
the power, O God, by which you have worked for us.
29 Because of your temple at Jerusalem
kings shall (AY)bear gifts to you.
30 Rebuke (AZ)the beasts that dwell among the reeds,
the herd of (BA)bulls with the calves of the peoples.
(BB)Trample underfoot those who lust after tribute;
scatter the peoples who delight in war.[g]
31 Nobles shall come from (BC)Egypt;
(BD)Cush shall hasten to (BE)stretch out her hands to God.
32 (BF)O kingdoms of the earth, sing to God;
sing praises to the Lord, Selah
33 to him (BG)who rides in (BH)the heavens, the ancient heavens;
behold, he (BI)sends out his voice, his mighty voice.
34 (BJ)Ascribe power to God,
whose majesty is over Israel,
and whose (BK)power is in (BL)the skies.
35 (BM)Awesome is God from his[h] (BN)sanctuary;
the God of Israel—he is the one who gives (BO)power and strength to his people.
Blessed be God!

Mga Awit 68
Ang Biblia, 2001
Sa Punong Mang-aawit. Salmo ni David. Isang Awit.
68 Bumangon nawa ang Diyos, mangalat nawa ang mga kaaway niya;
tumakas nawa sa harapan niya ang mga napopoot sa kanya!
2 Kung paanong itinataboy ang usok, ay gayon mo sila itaboy;
kung paanong natutunaw ang pagkit sa harap ng apoy,
gayon nawa mamatay ang masama sa harapan ng Diyos.
3 Ngunit matuwa nawa ang matuwid;
magalak nawa sila sa harapan ng Diyos;
oo, magalak nawa sila sa kasayahan!
4 Kayo'y magsiawit sa Diyos, umawit ng mga papuri sa kanyang pangalan;
magtaas ng isang awit sa kanya, siya na nangangabayo sa mga ilang;
Panginoon ang kanyang pangalan,
magalak kayo sa kanyang harapan.
5 Ama ng mga ulila, at tagapagtanggol ng mga babaing balo,
ang Diyos na sa kanyang banal na tirahan.
6 Ang nag-iisa ay binibigyan ng Diyos ng tahanan,
kanyang inaakay ang mga bilanggo sa kasaganaan,
ngunit ang mga mapaghimagsik sa tigang na lupa ay naninirahan.
7 O Diyos, nang humayo ka sa harapan ng iyong bayan,
nang lumakad ka sa ilang, (Selah)
8 ang(A) lupa ay nayanig,
ang kalangitan ay nagbuhos ng ulan sa harapan ng Diyos;
ang Sinai ay nayanig sa harapan ng Diyos, ang Diyos ng Israel.
9 Ikaw, O Diyos, ay nagbigay ng saganang ulan,
iyong pinalakas ang iyong mana, nang ito'y manghina.
10 Ang iyong kawan doon ay nakatagpo ng tirahan,
sa iyong kabutihan, O Diyos, ikaw ay nagkaloob para sa nangangailangan.
11 Ang Panginoon ang nagbibigay ng utos;
malaki ang hukbo ng mga babaing naghahayag ng balita:
12 “Ang mga hari ng mga hukbo, tumatakas sila, tumatakas sila!”
Pinaghatian ang samsam ng mga babaing nasa tahanan,
13 kapag kayo'y humiga sa gitna ng mga kulungan ng mga kawan,
kayo ay parang mga pakpak ng kalapati na natatakpan ng pilak,
ang kanyang balahibo ay gintong kumikinang.
14 Nang ikalat ng Makapangyarihan ang mga hari roon,
ang niyebe ay bumagsak sa Zalmon.
15 Bundok ng Diyos ay bundok ng Basan;
bundok na maraming taluktok ay ang bundok ng Basan!
16 Bakit kayo'y nakatinging may pagkainggit, kayong mga bundok na maraming taluktok,
sa bundok na ninais ng Diyos para sa kanyang tahanan,
oo, doon titira ang Panginoon magpakailanman.
17 Ang mga karo ng Diyos ay dalawampung libo,
samakatuwid ay libu-libo.
Ang Panginoon ay dumating mula sa Sinai patungo sa banal na lugar.
18 Sumampa(B) ka sa mataas,
pinatnubayan mo ang iyong bihag sa pagkabihag;
tumanggap ka ng mga kaloob sa gitna ng mga tao,
oo, pati sa mga mapanghimagsik, upang makatahang kasama nila ang Panginoong Diyos.
19 Purihin ang Panginoon
na nagpapasan araw-araw ng aming pasan,
samakatuwid baga'y ang Diyos na siyang aming kaligtasan. (Selah)
20 Ang Diyos sa amin ay Diyos ng kaligtasan;
at sa Diyos, na Panginoon, sa kanya ang pagtakas mula sa kamatayan.
21 Ngunit babasagin ng Diyos ang mga ulo ng kanyang mga kaaway,
ang mabuhok na ulo ng lumalakad sa kanyang makasalanang mga daan.
22 Sinabi ng Panginoon,
“Ibabalik ko sila mula sa Basan,
ibabalik ko sila mula sa mga kalaliman ng karagatan,
23 upang sa dugo, ang mga paa mo'y iyong mapaliguan,
upang ang dila ng iyong mga aso ay magkaroon ng bahagi mula sa iyong mga kaaway.”
24 Nakita nila ang iyong mga lakad, O Diyos,
ang mga paglakad ng aking Diyos, ng Hari ko, patungo sa santuwaryo—
25 ang mga mang-aawit ay nasa unahan, ang mga manunugtog ay nasa hulihan,
sa pagitan nila ay ang tumutugtog ng mga pandereta na mga kadalagahan:
26 “Purihin ninyo ang Diyos sa malaking kapulungan,
ang Panginoon, kayong mga mula sa bukal ng Israel!”
27 Naroon si Benjamin, ang pinakamaliit sa kanila, na siyang nangunguna,
ang mga pinuno ng Juda at ang kanilang pangkat,
ang mga pinuno ng Zebulon, ang mga pinuno ng Neftali.
28 Utusan mo, O Diyos, ang iyong kalakasan,
ipakita mong malakas ang iyong sarili, O Diyos, tulad ng ginawa mo para sa amin.
29 Dahil sa iyong templo sa Jerusalem
ang mga hari ay nagdadala ng mga handog sa iyo.
30 Sawayin mo ang maiilap na hayop na sa mga tambo naninirahan,
ang kawan ng mga toro na kasama ng mga guya ng mga bayan.
Yapakan mo sa ilalim ng paa ang mga piraso ng pilak,
pangalatin mo ang mga taong sa digmaan ay natutuwa.
31 Mga sugo ay lalabas mula sa Ehipto;
magmamadali nawa ang Etiopia na iabot sa Diyos ang mga kamay nito.
32 Magsiawit kayo sa Diyos, mga kaharian sa lupa;
magsiawit kayo ng mga papuri sa Panginoon, (Selah)
33 sa kanya na sumasakay sa langit ng mga langit, na mula pa nang una,
narito, binibigkas niya ang kanyang tinig, ang kanyang makapangyarihang tinig.
34 Iukol ninyo sa Diyos ang kalakasan,
na nasa Israel ang kanyang kadakilaan,
at nasa mga langit ang kanyang kalakasan.
35 O Diyos, ikaw ay kakilakilabot mula sa iyong santuwaryo,
ang Diyos ng Israel,
nagbibigay siya ng kapangyarihan at lakas sa kanyang bayan.
Purihin ang Diyos!
