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! |
