ASV_Strong : Psalms 68
1.
2. As smoke[H6227] is driven away[H5086], so drive them away[H5086]: As wax[H1749] melteth[H4549] before[H6440] the fire[H784], So let the wicked[H7563] perish[H6] at the presence[H6440] of God[H430].
3. But let the righteous[H6662] be glad[H8055]; let them exult[H5970] before[H6440] God[H430]: Yea[H5970], let them rejoice with gladness[H8057].
4. Sing[H7891] unto God[H430], sing praises[H2167] to his name[H8034]: Cast up a highway[H5549] for him that rideth[H7392] through the deserts[H6160]; His name[H8034] is Jehovah[H3050]; and exult[H5937] ye before him[H6440].
5. A father[H1] of the fatherless[H3490], and a judge[H1781] of the widows[H490], Is God[H430] in his holy[H6944] habitation[H4583].
6. God[H430] setteth[H3427] the solitary[H3173] in families[H1004]: He bringeth out[H3318] the prisoners[H615] into prosperity[H3574]; But the rebellious[H5637] dwell[H7931] in a parched land[H6707].
7. O God[H430], when thou wentest forth[H3318] before[H6440] thy people[H5971], When thou didst march[H6805] through the wilderness[H3452]; [H5542][[Selah
8. The earth[H776] trembled[H7493], The heavens[H8064] also dropped[H5197] rain at the presence[H6440] of God[H430]: Yon[H2088] Sinai[H5514] trembled at the presence[H6440] of God[H430], the God[H430] of Israel[H3478].
9. Thou[H430], O God, didst send[H5130] a plentiful[H5071] rain[H1653], Thou didst confirm[H3559] thine inheritance[H5159], when it was weary[H3811].
10. Thy congregation[H2416] dwelt[H3427] therein[H430]: Thou, O God, didst prepare[H3559] of thy goodness[H2896] for the poor[H6041].
11. The Lord[H136] giveth[H5414] the word[H562]: The women that publish[H1319] the tidings are a great[H7227] host[H6635].
12. Kings[H4428] of armies[H6635] flee[H5074], they flee[H5074]; And she that tarrieth[H5116] at home[H1004] divideth[H2505] the spoil[H7998].
13. When ye lie[H7901] among the sheepfolds[H8240], It is as the wings[H3671] of a dove[H3123] covered[H2645] with silver[H3701], And her pinions[H3671] with yellow[H3422] gold[H2742].
14. When the Almighty[H7706] scattered[H6566] kings[H4428] therein[H7949], It was as when it snoweth in Zalmon[H6756].
15. A mountain[H2022] of God[H430] is the mountain[H2022] of Bashan[H1316]; A high[H1386] mountain[H2022] is the mountain[H2022] of Bashan[H1316].
16. Why look[H7520] ye askance[H1386], ye high mountains[H2022], At the mountain[H2022] which God[H430] hath desired[H2530] for his abode[H3427]? Yea[H3068], Jehovah will dwell[H7931] in it for ever[H5331].
17. The chariots[H7393] of God[H430] are twenty thousand[H7239], even thousands[H505] upon thousands[H8136]; The Lord[H136] is among them[H5514], as in Sinai, in the sanctuary[H6944].
18. Thou hast ascended[H5927] on high[H4791], thou hast led away[H7628] captives[H7628]; Thou hast received[H3947] gifts[H4979] among men[H120], Yea[H5637], among the rebellious also[H3050], that Jehovah God[H430] might dwell with them[H7931].
19. Blessed[H1288] be the Lord[H136], who daily[H3117] beareth[H6006] our burden[H410], Even the God who is our salvation[H3444]. [H5542][[Selah
20. God[H410] is unto us a God[H410] of deliverances[H4190]; And unto Jehovah[H136] the Lord[H136] belongeth escape[H8444] from death[H4194].
21. But God[H430] will smite[H4272] through the head[H7218] of his enemies[H341], The hairy[H8181] scalp[H6936] of such a one as goeth on still[H1980] in his guiltiness[H817].
22. The Lord[H136] said[H559], I will bring again[H7725] from Bashan[H1316], I will bring them again[H7725] from the depths[H4688] of the sea[H3220];
23. That thou mayest crush them[H4272], dipping thy foot[H7272] in blood[H1818], That the tongue[H3956] of thy dogs[H3611] may have its portion from thine enemies[H341].
24. They have seen[H7200] thy goings[H1979], O God[H430], Even the goings[H1979] of my God[H410], my King[H4428], into the sanctuary[H6944].
25. The singers[H7891] went before[H6923], the minstrels[H5059] followed after[H310], In the midst[H8432] of the damsels[H5959] playing with timbrels[H8608].
26. Bless[H1288] ye God[H430] in the congregations[H4721], Even the Lord[H136], ye that are of the fountain[H4726] of Israel[H3478].
27. There is little[H6810] Benjamin[H1144] their ruler[H7287], The princes[H8269] of Judah[H3063] and their council[H7277], The princes[H8269] of Zebulun[H2074], the princes[H8269] of Naphtali[H5321].
28. Thy God[H430] hath commanded[H6680] thy strength[H5797]: Strengthen[H5810], O God[H430], that which[H2098] thou hast wrought for us[H6466].
29. Because of thy temple[H1964] at Jerusalem[H3389] Kings[H4428] shall bring[H2986] presents unto thee[H7862].
30. Rebuke[H1605] the wild beast[H2416] of the reeds[H7070], The multitude[H2416] of the bulls[H47], with the calves[H5695] of the peoples[H5971], Trampling under foot[H7511] the pieces[H7518] of silver[H3701]: He hath scattered[H967] the peoples[H5971] that delight[H2654] in war[H7128].
31. Princes[H2831] shall come out[H857] of Egypt[H4714]; Ethiopia[H3568] shall haste to stretch out[H7323] her hands[H3027] unto God[H430].
32. Sing[H7891] unto God[H430], ye kingdoms[H4467] of the earth[H776]; Oh sing praises[H2167] unto the Lord[H136]; [H5542][[Selah
33. To him that rideth[H7392] upon the heaven[H8064] of heavens[H8064], which are of old[H6924]; Lo[H5414], he uttereth his voice[H6963], a mighty[H5797] voice[H6963].
34. Ascribe[H5414] ye strength[H5797] unto God[H430]: His excellency[H1346] is over Israel[H3478], And his strength[H5797] is in the skies[H7834].
35. O God[H430], thou art terrible[H3372] out of thy holy places[H4720]: The God[H410] of Israel[H3478], he giveth[H5414] strength[H5797] and power[H5797] unto his people[H5971]. Blessed[H1288] be God[H430].
