1. |
To the Overseer. -- A Psalm, a song of David. Rise doth God -- scattered are His enemies! And those hating Him flee from His face. |
2. |
As the driving away of smoke Thou drivest away, As the melting of wax before fire, The wicked perish at the presence of God. |
3. |
And the righteous rejoice, they exult before God, And they joy with gladness. |
4. |
Sing ye to God -- praise His name, Raise up a highway for Him who is riding in deserts, In Jah `is' His name, and exult before Him. |
5. |
Father of the fatherless, and judge of the widows, `Is' God in His holy habitation. |
6. |
God -- causing the lonely to dwell at home, Bringing out bound ones into prosperity, Only -- the refractory have inhabited a dry place. |
7. |
O God, in Thy going forth before Thy people, In Thy stepping through the wilderness, Selah. |
8. |
The earth hath shaken, Yea, the heavens have dropped before God, This Sinai -- before God, the God of Israel. |
9. |
A shower of free-will gifts thou shakest out, O God. Thine inheritance, when it hath been weary, Thou hast established it. |
10. |
Thy company have dwelt in it, Thou preparest in Thy goodness for the poor, O God. |
11. |
The Lord doth give the saying, The female proclaimers `are' a numerous host. |
12. |
Kings of hosts flee utterly away, And a female inhabitant of the house apportioneth spoil. |
13. |
Though ye do lie between two boundaries, Wings of a dove covered with silver, And her pinions with yellow gold. |
14. |
When the Mighty spreadeth kings in it, It doth snow in Salmon. |
15. |
A hill of God `is' the hill of Bashan, A hill of heights `is' the hill of Bashan. |
16. |
Why do ye envy, O high hills, The hill God hath desired for His seat? Jehovah also doth tabernacle for ever. |
17. |
The chariots of God `are' myriads, thousands of changes, The Lord `is' among them, in Sinai, in the sanctuary. |
18. |
Thou hast ascended on high, Thou hast taken captive captivity, Thou hast taken gifts for men, That even the refractory may rest, O Jah God. |
19. |
Blessed `is' the Lord, day by day He layeth on us. God Himself `is' our salvation. Selah. |
20. |
God Himself `is' to us a God for deliverances, And Jehovah Lord hath the outgoings of death. |
21. |
Only -- God doth smite The head of His enemies, The hairy crown of a habitual walker in his guilt. |
22. |
The Lord said: `From Bashan I bring back, I bring back from the depths of the sea. |
23. |
So that thou dashest thy foot in blood, `In the blood of' enemies -- the tongue of Thy dogs.' |
24. |
They have seen Thy goings, O God, Goings of my God, my king, in the sanctuary. |
25. |
Singers have been before, Behind `are' players on instruments, In the midst virgins playing with timbrels. |
26. |
In assemblies bless ye God, The Lord -- from the fountain of Israel. |
27. |
There `is' little Benjamin their ruler, Heads of Judah their defence, Heads of Zebulun -- heads of Naphtali. |
28. |
Thy God hath commanded thy strength, Be strong, O God, this Thou hast wrought for us. |
29. |
Because of Thy temple at Jerusalem, To Thee do kings bring a present. |
30. |
Rebuke a beast of the reeds, a company of bulls, With calves of the peoples, Each humbling himself with pieces of silver, Scatter Thou peoples delighting in conflicts. |
31. |
Come do fat ones out of Egypt, Cush causeth her hands to run to God. |
32. |
Kingdoms of the earth, sing ye to God, Praise ye the Lord. Selah. |
33. |
To him who is riding on the heavens of the heavens of old, Lo, He giveth with His voice a strong voice. |
34. |
Ascribe ye strength to God, Over Israel `is' His excellency, and His strength in the clouds. |
35. |
Fearful, O God, out of Thy sanctuaries, The God of Israel Himself, Giving strength and might to the people. Blessed `is' God! |
