PSALMS - Chapter 68
A Psalm of David
Let Elohim arise, let His enemies be scattered; let those also who hate Him flee before Him. As smoke is driven away, so drive them away; as wax melts before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of Elohim. But let the righteous be glad; let them rejoice before Elohim; yes, let them rejoice exceedingly.
Sing to Elohim, sing praises to His name; extol Him who rides on the clouds, by His name YAH, and rejoice before Him. A father of the fatherless, a defender of widows, is Elohim in His holy habitation.
Elohim sets the solitary in families; He brings out those who are bound into prosperity; but the rebellious dwell in a dry land. O Elohim, when you went out before your people, when you marched through the wilderness, Selah
The earth shook; the heavens also dropped rain at the presence of Elohim; Sinai itself was moved at the presence of Elohim, the Elohim of Israel. You, O Elohim, sent a plentiful rain, whereby you confirmed your inheritance, when it was weary. Your congregation dwelt in it; you, O Elohim, provided from your goodness for the poor.
The Master gave the word; great was the company of those who proclaimed it: "Kings of armies flee, they flee, and she who remains at home divides the spoil. Though you lie down among the sheepfolds, you will be like the wings of a dove covered with silver, and her feathers with yellow gold."
When the Almighty scattered kings in it, it was white as snow in Zalmon. A mountain of Elohim is the mountain of Bashan; a mountain of many peaks is the mountain of Bashan. Why do you fume with envy, you mountains of many peaks? This is the mountain which Elohim desires to dwell in; yes, YAHWEH will dwell in it forever.
The chariots of Elohim are twenty thousand, even thousands of thousands; the Master is among them as in Sinai, in the Holy Place. You have ascended on high, you have led captivity captive; you have received gifts among men, even from the rebellious, that YAHWEH Elohim might dwell there.
Blessed be the Master, who daily loads us with benefits, the Elohim of our salvation! Selah
Our Elohim is the Elohim of salvation; and to YAHWEH the Master belong escapes from death. But Elohim will wound the head of His enemies, the hairy scalp of the one who still goes on in his trespasses. The Master said, "I will bring back from Bashan, I will bring them back from the depths of the sea, that your foot may crush them in blood, and the tongues of your dogs may have their portion from your enemies."
They have seen your procession, O Elohim, the procession of my Elohim, my King, into the sanctuary. The singers went before, the players on instruments followed after; among them were the maidens playing timbrels. Bless Elohim in the congregations, the Master, from the fountain of Israel.
There is little Benjamin, their leader, the princes of Judah and their company, the princes of Zebulun and the princes of Naphtali. Your Elohim has commanded your strength; strengthen, O Elohim, what you have done for us. Because of your temple at Jerusalem, kings will bring presents to you. Rebuke the beasts of the reeds, the herd of bulls with the calves of the peoples, till everyone submits himself with pieces of silver. Scatter the peoples who delight in war. Envoys will come out of Egypt; Ethiopia will quickly stretch out her hands to Elohim. Sing to Elohim, you kingdoms of the earth; oh, sing praises to the Master, Selah
To Him who rides on the heaven of heavens, which were of old! Indeed, He sends out His voice, a mighty voice. Ascribe strength to Elohim; His excellence is over Israel, and His strength is in the clouds. O Elohim, you are more awesome than your holy places. The Elohim of Israel is He who gives strength and power to His people. Blessed be Elohim!
