Salmos 68
Reina-Valera 1995
El Dios del Sinaí y del santuario
Al músico principal. Salmo de David. Cántico
68 Levántese Dios, sean esparcidos sus enemigos
y huyan de su presencia los que lo aborrecen.
2 Como es lanzado el humo,
los disiparás;
como se derrite la cera ante el fuego,
así perecerán los impíos delante de Dios.
3 Mas los justos se alegrarán;
se gozarán delante de Dios
y saltarán de alegría.
4 Cantad a Dios, cantad salmos a su nombre;
exaltad al que cabalga sobre los cielos.
Jah es su nombre:
¡alegraos delante de él!
5 Padre de huérfanos y defensor de viudas
es Dios en su santa morada.
6 Dios hace habitar en familia a los desamparados;
saca a los cautivos a prosperidad;
mas los rebeldes habitan en tierra árida.
7 Cuando tú, Dios, saliste delante de tu pueblo,
cuando anduviste por el desierto, Selah
8 la tierra tembló y destilaron los cielos;
ante la presencia de Dios, aquel Sinaí tembló,
delante de Dios, del Dios de Israel.
9 Abundante lluvia esparciste, oh Dios;
a tu heredad exhausta tú la reanimaste.
10 Los que son de tu grey han morado en ella;
por tu bondad, Dios,
has provisto para el pobre.
11 El Señor daba la palabra,
multitud de mujeres anunciaba las buenas nuevas:
12 «¡Huyeron, huyeron reyes de ejércitos!»,
y las mujeres que se quedaban en casa repartían los despojos.
13 Bien que quedasteis echados entre los tiestos,
seréis como alas de paloma cubiertas de plata,
y sus plumas de amarillez de oro.
14 Cuando esparció el Omnipotente a los reyes allí,
fue como si hubiera nevado en el monte Salmón.
15 Muy altos son los montes de Basán,
altas son sus cimas.
16 ¿Por qué miráis con hostilidad, montes altos,
al monte que deseó Dios para su morada?
Ciertamente Jehová habitará en él para siempre.
17 Los carros de Dios se cuentan por veintenas de millares de millares;
el Señor viene del Sinaí a su santuario.
18 Subiste a lo alto, tomaste cautivos.
Tomaste dones de los hombres,
también de los rebeldes,
para que habite entre ellos Jah Dios.
19 ¡Bendito sea el Señor!
¡Cada día nos colma de beneficios
el Dios de nuestra salvación! Selah
20 Dios, nuestro Dios, ha de salvarnos;
de Jehová el Señor es el librar de la muerte.
21 Ciertamente Dios herirá la cabeza de sus enemigos,
la testa cabelluda del que camina en sus pecados.
22 El Señor dijo: «De Basán te haré volver;
de las profundidades del mar te haré volver,
23 porque tu pie se enrojecerá con la sangre de tus enemigos,
y con 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 van delante, los músicos atrás;
en medio, las doncellas con panderos.
26 ¡Bendecid a Dios en las congregaciones;
al Señor, vosotros de la estirpe de Israel!
27 Allí estaba el joven Benjamín, a la cabeza de ellos,
los príncipes de Judá en su congregación,
los príncipes de Zabulón, los príncipes de Neftalí.
28 Tu Dios ha ordenado tu fuerza;
confirma, Dios, lo que has hecho para nosotros.
29 Por causa de tu Templo, en Jerusalén,
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.
¡Esparce a los pueblos que se complacen en la guerra!
31 Vendrán príncipes de Egipto;
Etiopía se apresurará a extender sus manos hacia Dios.
32 ¡Reinos de la tierra, cantad a Dios,
cantad al Señor, Selah
33 al que cabalga sobre los cielos de los cielos, que son desde la antigüedad!
Él hará oír su voz, su poderosa voz.
34 Atribuid el poder a Dios;
sobre Israel es su magnificencia
y su poder está en los cielos.
35 Temible eres, Dios, desde tus santuarios.
El Dios de Israel, él da fuerza y vigor a su pueblo.
Bendito sea Dios.
Psalm 68
New King James Version
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.
2 (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.
3 But (D)let the righteous be glad;
Let them rejoice before God;
Yes, let them rejoice exceedingly.
4 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.
5 (G)A father of the fatherless, a defender of widows,
Is God in His holy habitation.
6 (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.
7 O God, (K)when You went out before Your people,
When You marched through the wilderness, Selah
8 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.
9 (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!

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.
