| Chapter 67 |
1 |
Unto the end, a psalm of a canticle for David himself. --
|
2 |
Let God arise, and let his enemies be scattered: and let them that hate him flee from before his face. --
|
3 |
As smoke vanisheth, so let them vanish away: as wax melteth before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God. --
|
4 |
And let the just feast, and rejoice before God: and be delighted with gladness. --
|
5 |
Sing ye to God, sing a psalm to his name, make a way for him who ascendeth upon the west: the Lord is his name. Rejoice ye before him: but the wicked shall be troubled at his presence, --
|
6 |
who is the father of orphans, and the judge of widows. God in his holy place: --
|
7 |
God who maketh men of one manner to dwell in a house: Who bringeth out them that were bound in strength; in like manner them that provoke, that dwell in sepulchres. --
|
8 |
O God, when thou didst go forth in the sight of thy people, when thou didst pass through the desert: --
|
9 |
The earth was moved, and the heavens dropped at the presence of the God of Sina, at the presence of the God of Israel. --
|
10 |
Thou shalt set aside for thy inheritance a free rain, O God: and it was weakened, but thou hast made it perfect. --
|
11 |
In it shall thy animals dwell; in thy sweetness, O God, thou hast provided for the poor. --
|
12 |
The Lord shall give the word to them that preach good tidings with great power. --
|
13 |
The king of powers is of the beloved, of the beloved; and the beauty of the house shall divide spoils. --
|
14 |
If you sleep among the midst of lots, you shall be as the wings of a dove covered with silver, and the hinder parts of her back with the paleness of gold. --
|
15 |
When he that is in heaven appointeth kings over her, they shall be whited with snow in Selmon. --
|
16 |
The mountain of God is a fat mountain. A curdled mountain, a fat mountain. --
|
17 |
Why suspect, ye curdled mountains? A mountain in which God is well pleased to dwell: for there the Lord shall dwell unto the end. --
|
18 |
The chariot of God is attended by ten thousands; thousands of them that rejoice: the Lord is among them in Sina, in the holy place. --
|
19 |
Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive; thou hast received gifts in men. Yea for those also that do not believe, the dwelling of the Lord God. --
|
20 |
Blessed be the Lord day by day: the God of our salvation will make our journey prosperous to us. --
|
21 |
Our God is the God of salvation: and of the Lord, of the Lord are the issues from death. --
|
22 |
But God shall break the heads of his enemies: the hairy crown of them that walk on in their sins. --
|
23 |
The Lord said: I will turn them from Basan, I will turn them into the depth of the sea: --
|
24 |
That thy foot may be dipped in the blood of thy enemies; the tongue of thy dogs be red with the same. --
|
25 |
They have seen thy goings, O God, the goings of my God: of my king who is in his sanctuary. --
|
26 |
Princes went before joined with singers, in the midst of young damsels playing on timbrels. --
|
27 |
In the churches bless ye God the Lord, from the fountains of Israel. --
|
28 |
There is Benjamin a youth, in ecstasy of mind. The princes of Juda are their leaders: the princes of Zabulon, the princes of Nephthali. --
|
29 |
Command thy strength, O God: confirm, O God, what thou hast wrought in us. --
|
30 |
From thy temple in Jerusalem, kings shall offer presents to thee. --
|
31 |
Rebuke the wild beasts of the reeds, the congregation of bulls with the kine of the people; who seek to exclude them who are tried with silver. Scatter thou the nations that delight in wars: --
|
32 |
ambassadors shall come out of Egypt: Ethiopia shall soon stretch out her hands to God. --
|
33 |
Sing to God, ye kingdoms of the earth: sing ye to the Lord: Sing ye to God, --
|
34 |
who mounteth above the heaven of heavens, to the east. Behold he will give to his voice the voice of power: --
|
35 |
give ye glory to God for Israel, his magnificence, and his power is in the clouds. --
|
36 |
God is wonderful in his saints: the God of Israel is he who will give power and strength to his people. Blessed be God. --
