Salmos 68
La Biblia de las Américas

El Dios del Sinaí y del santuario

Para el director del coro. Salmo de David. Cántico.

68 Levántese Dios; sean esparcidos sus enemigos,
y huyan delante de Él los que le aborrecen(A).
2 Como se disipa el humo, disípalos(B);
como la cera se derrite delante del fuego(C),
así perezcan los impíos delante de Dios(D).
3 Pero alégrense los justos(E), regocíjense delante de Dios;
sí, que rebosen de alegría.
4 Cantad a Dios, cantad alabanzas a su nombre(F);
abrid paso[a](G) al que cabalga por los desiertos[b](H),
cuyo nombre es el Señor[c](I); regocijaos delante de Él.

5 Padre de los huérfanos(J) y defensor[d] de las viudas(K)
es Dios en su santa morada(L).
6 Dios prepara un hogar(M) para los solitarios[e];
conduce[f] a los cautivos(N) a prosperidad;
solo los rebeldes habitan en una tierra seca(O).

7 Oh Dios, cuando saliste al frente[g] de tu pueblo(P),
cuando marchaste por el desierto(Q), (Selah[h])
8 tembló la tierra(R);
también se derramaron los cielos ante la presencia de Dios(S);
el Sinaí mismo[i] tembló delante de Dios(T), el Dios de Israel.
9 Tú esparciste lluvia abundante, oh Dios(U),
tú fortaleciste[j] tu heredad cuando estaba extenuada[k].
10 Los de tu pueblo[l] se establecieron en ella;
en tu bondad, oh Dios, proveíste para el pobre(V).

11 El Señor da la palabra[m];
las mujeres(W) que anuncian las buenas nuevas son gran multitud[n]:
12 Los reyes de los ejércitos huyen(X); sí huyen,
y la que se queda en casa repartirá el botín(Y).
13 Cuando[o] os acostáis en los apriscos[p](Z),
sois como alas de paloma cubiertas de plata,
y sus plumas de oro resplandeciente.
14 Cuando el Omnipotente[q] dispersó allí[r] a los reyes,
nevaba en el monte Salmón(AA).

15 Monte de Dios[s](AB) es el monte de Basán;
monte de muchos picos es el monte de Basán.
16 ¿Por qué miráis con envidia, oh montes de muchos picos,
al monte que Dios ha deseado para morada suya(AC)?
Ciertamente el Señor habitará allí para siempre(AD).
17 Los carros de Dios(AE) son miríadas, millares y millares[t](AF);
el Señor está entre ellos en santidad, como en el Sinaí[u].
18 Tú has ascendido a lo alto(AG), has llevado en cautividad a tus cautivos(AH);
has recibido dones entre los hombres,
y aun entre los rebeldes, para que el Señor[v] Dios habite entre ellos.

19 Bendito sea el Señor, que cada día lleva nuestra carga(AI),
el Dios que es nuestra salvación(AJ). (Selah)
20 Dios es para nosotros un Dios de salvación[w](AK),
y a Dios[x] el Señor pertenece el librar[y] de la muerte(AL).
21 Ciertamente Dios herirá la cabeza de sus enemigos(AM),
la testa cabelluda del que anda en sus delitos[z](AN).
22 Dijo[aa] el Señor: De Basán(AO) los haré volver;
los haré volver de las profundidades del mar(AP);
23 para que tu pie los aplaste[ab] en sangre(AQ),
y la lengua de tus perros tenga la porción de tus enemigos(AR).

24 Ellos han visto tu procesión[ac](AS), oh Dios,
la procesión[ad] de mi Dios, mi Rey, hacia el santuario[ae](AT).
25 Los cantores iban delante, los músicos detrás(AU),
en medio de las doncellas[af] tocando panderos(AV).
26 Bendecid a Dios en las congregaciones(AW),
al Señor, vosotros del linaje[ag] de Israel(AX).
27 Allí va Benjamín(AY), el más joven[ah], dirigiéndolos[ai],
los príncipes de Judá con su grupo,
los príncipes de Zabulón, los príncipes de Neftalí(AZ).

28 El Dios tuyo ha mandado[aj] tu fuerza(BA);
muestra tu poder, oh Dios, tú que has obrado por nosotros(BB).
29 Por causa de[ak] tu templo en Jerusalén
te traerán presentes los reyes(BC).
30 Reprende las fieras de las cañas(BD),
la manada de toros[al](BE) con los becerros de los pueblos,
pisoteando las piezas de plata;
Él ha dispersado a los pueblos que se deleitan en la guerra(BF).
31 De Egipto(BG) saldrán mensajeros;
Etiopía[am] se apresurará a extender sus manos hacia Dios(BH).

32 Cantad a Dios, oh reinos de la tierra(BI);
cantad alabanzas al Señor(BJ). (Selah)
33 Cantad al que cabalga(BK) sobre los cielos de los cielos(BL), que son desde la antigüedad;
he aquí, Él da su voz(BM), voz poderosa(BN).
34 Atribuid a Dios fortaleza[an](BO);
su majestad es sobre Israel,
y su poder está en los cielos[ao](BP).
35 Imponente(BQ) eres, oh Dios, desde tu santuario[ap].
El Dios mismo de Israel da fortaleza y poder al pueblo(BR).
¡Bendito sea Dios(BS)!

Psalm 68
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)

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!
