- 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!
