| [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. |
[1]Let God arise, and let his enemies be scattered; and let them that hate him flee from before him. |
| [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. |
[2]As smoke vanishes, let them vanish: as wax melts before the fire, so let the sinners perish from before God. |
| [3]And the righteous rejoice, they exult before God, And they joy with gladness. |
[3]But let the righteous rejoice; let them exult before God: let them be delighted with joy. |
| [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. |
[4]Sing to God, sing praises to his name: make a way for him that rides upon the west (the Lord is his name) and exult before him. They shall be troubled before the face of him, |
| [5]Father of the fatherless, and judge of the widows, [Is] God in His holy habitation. |
[5]who is the father of the orphans, and judge of the widows: such is God in his holy place. |
| [6]God -- causing the lonely to dwell at home, Bringing out bound ones into prosperity, Only -- the refractory have inhabited a dry place. |
[6]God settles the solitary in a house; leading forth prisoners mightily, also them that act provokingly, even them that dwell in tombs. |
| [7]O God, in Thy going forth before Thy people, In Thy stepping through the wilderness, Selah. |
[7]O God, when thou wentest forth before thy people, when thou wentest through the wilderness; Pause: |
| [8]The earth hath shaken, Yea, the heavens have dropped before God, This Sinai -- before God, the God of Israel. |
[8]the earth quaked, yea, the heavens dropped water at the presence of the God of Sina, at the presence of 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. |
[9]O God, thou wilt grant to thine inheritance a gracious rain; for it was weary, but thou didst refresh it. |
| [10]Thy company have dwelt in it, Thou preparest in Thy goodness for the poor, O God. |
[10]Thy creatures dwell in it: thou hast in thy goodness prepared for the poor. |
| [11]The Lord doth give the saying, The female proclaimers [are] a numerous host. |
[11]The Lord God will give a word to them that preach it in a great company. |
| [12]Kings of hosts flee utterly away, And a female inhabitant of the house apportioneth spoil. |
[12]The king of the forces of the beloved, of the beloved, will even grant them for the beauty of the house to divide the spoils. |
| [13]Though ye do lie between two boundaries, Wings of a dove covered with silver, And her pinions with yellow gold. |
[13]Even if ye should lie among the lots, ye shall have the wings of a dove covered with silver, and her breast with yellow gold. |
| [14]When the Mighty spreadeth kings in it, It doth snow in Salmon. |
[14]When the heavenly One scatters kings upon it, they shall be made snow-white in Selmon. |
| [15]A hill of God [is] the hill of Bashan, A hill of heights [is] the hill of Bashan. |
[15]The mountain of God is a rich mountain; a swelling mountain, a rich mountain. |
| [16]Why do ye envy, O high hills, The hill God hath desired for His seat? Jehovah also doth tabernacle for ever. |
[16]Wherefore do ye conceive evil, ye swelling mountains? this is the mountain which God has delighted to dwell in; yea, the Lord will dwell in it for ever. |
| [17]The chariots of God [are] myriads, thousands of changes, The Lord [is] among them, in Sinai, in the sanctuary. |
[17]The chariots of God are ten thousand fold, thousands of rejoicing ones: the Lord is among them, in Sina, in the holy place. |
| [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. |
[18]Thou art gone up on high, thou hast led captivity captive, thou hast received gifts for man, yea, for they were rebellious, that thou mightest dwell among them. |
| [19]Blessed [is] the Lord, day by day He layeth on us. God Himself [is] our salvation. Selah. |
[19]Blessed be the Lord God, blessed be the Lord daily; and the God of our salvation shall prosper us. Pause. |
| [20]God Himself [is] to us a God for deliverances, And Jehovah Lord hath the outgoings of death. |
[20]Our God is the God of salvation; and to the Lord belong the issues from death. |
| [21]Only -- God doth smite The head of His enemies, The hairy crown of a habitual walker in his guilt. |
[21]But God shall crust the heads of his enemies; the hairy crown of them that go on in their trespasses. |
| [22]The Lord said: `From Bashan I bring back, I bring back from the depths of the sea. |
[22]The Lord said, I will bring again from Basan, I will bring my people again through the depths of the sea. |
| [23]So that thou dashest thy foot in blood, [In the blood of] enemies -- the tongue of Thy dogs.' |
[23]That thy foot may be dipped in blood, and the tongue of thy dogs be stained with that of thine enemies. |
| [24]They have seen Thy goings, O God, Goings of my God, my king, in the sanctuary. |
[24]Thy goings, O God, have been seen; the goings of my God, the king, in the sanctuary. |
| [25]Singers have been before, Behind [are] players on instruments, In the midst virgins playing with timbrels. |
[25]The princes went first, next before the players on instruments, in the midst of damsels playing on timbrels. |
| [26]In assemblies bless ye God, The Lord -- from the fountain of Israel. |
[26]Praise God in the congregations, the Lord from the fountains of Israel. |
| [27]There [is] little Benjamin their ruler, Heads of Judah their defence, Heads of Zebulun -- heads of Naphtali. |
[27]There is Benjamin the younger one in ecstasy, the princes of Juda their rulers, the princes of Zabulon, the princes of Nephthali. |
| [28]Thy God hath commanded thy strength, Be strong, O God, this Thou hast wrought for us. |
[28]O God, command thou thy strength: strengthen, O God, this which thou hast wrought in us. |
| [29]Because of Thy temple at Jerusalem, To Thee do kings bring a present. |
[29]Because of thy temple at Jerusalem shall kings bring presents to thee. |
| [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. |
[30]Rebuke the wild beasts of the reed: let the crowd of bulls with the heifers of the nations be rebuked, so that they who have been proved with silver may not be shut out: scatter thou the nations that wish for wars. |
| [31]Come do fat ones out of Egypt, Cush causeth her hands to run to God. |
[31]Ambassadors shall arrive out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall hasten to stretch out her hand readily to God. |
| [32]Kingdoms of the earth, sing ye to God, Praise ye the Lord. Selah. |
[32]Sing to God, ye kingdoms of the earth; sing psalms to the Lord. Pause. |
| [33]To him who is riding on the heavens of the heavens of old, Lo, He giveth with His voice a strong voice. |
[33]Sing to God that rides on the heaven of heaven, eastward: lo, he will utter a mighty sound with his voice. |
| [34]Ascribe ye strength to God, Over Israel [is] His excellency, and His strength in the clouds. |
[34]Give ye glory to God: his excellency is over Israel, and his power is 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! |
[35]God is wonderful in his holy places, the God of Israel: he will give power and strength to his people: blessed be God. |
