| Chapter 67 |
1 | Unto the end, a psalm of a canticle for David himself.
|
2 | Let God arise, and let his enemies be scattered: and let them that hate him flee from before his face.
|
3 | As smoke vanisheth, so let them vanish away: as wax melteth before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God.
|
4 | And let the just feast, and rejoice before God: and be delighted with gladness.
|
5 | Sing ye to God, sing a psalm to his name, make a way for him who ascendeth upon the west: the Lord is his name. Rejoice ye before him: but the wicked shall be troubled at his presence,
|
6 | who is the father of orphans, and the judge of widows. God in his holy place:
|
7 | God who maketh men of one manner to dwell in a house: Who bringeth out them that were bound in strength; in like manner them that provoke, that dwell in sepulchres.
|
8 | O God, when thou didst go forth in the sight of thy people, when thou didst pass through the desert:
|
9 | The earth was moved, and the heavens dropped at the presence of the God of Sina, at the presence of the God of Israel.
|
10 | Thou shalt set aside for thy inheritance a free rain, O God: and it was weakened, but thou hast made it perfect.
|
11 | In it shall thy animals dwell; in thy sweetness, O God, thou hast provided for the poor.
|
12 | The Lord shall give the word to them that preach good tidings with great power.
|
13 | The king of powers is of the beloved, of the beloved; and the beauty of the house shall divide spoils.
|
14 | If you sleep among the midst of lots, you shall be as the wings of a dove covered with silver, and the hinder parts of her back with the paleness of gold.
|
15 | When he that is in heaven appointeth kings over her, they shall be whited with snow in Selmon.
|
16 | The mountain of God is a fat mountain. A curdled mountain, a fat mountain.
|
17 | Why suspect, ye curdled mountains? A mountain in which God is well pleased to dwell: for there the Lord shall dwell unto the end.
|
18 | The chariot of God is attended by ten thousands; thousands of them that rejoice: the Lord is among them in Sina, in the holy place.
|
19 | Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive; thou hast received gifts in men. Yea for those also that do not believe, the dwelling of the Lord God.
|
20 | Blessed be the Lord day by day: the God of our salvation will make our journey prosperous to us.
|
21 | Our God is the God of salvation: and of the Lord, of the Lord are the issues from death.
|
22 | But God shall break the heads of his enemies: the hairy crown of them that walk on in their sins.
|
23 | The Lord said: I will turn them from Basan, I will turn them into the depth of the sea:
|
24 | That thy foot may be dipped in the blood of thy enemies; the tongue of thy dogs be red with the same.
|
25 | They have seen thy goings, O God, the goings of my God: of my king who is in his sanctuary.
|
26 | Princes went before joined with singers, in the midst of young damsels playing on timbrels.
|
27 | In the churches bless ye God the Lord, from the fountains of Israel.
|
28 | There is Benjamin a youth, in ecstasy of mind. The princes of Juda are their leaders: the princes of Zabulon, the princes of Nephthali.
|
29 | Command thy strength, O God: confirm, O God, what thou hast wrought in us.
|
30 | From thy temple in Jerusalem, kings shall offer presents to thee.
|
31 | Rebuke the wild beasts of the reeds, the congregation of bulls with the kine of the people; who seek to exclude them who are tried with silver. Scatter thou the nations that delight in wars:
|
32 | ambassadors shall come out of Egypt: Ethiopia shall soon stretch out her hands to God.
|
33 | Sing to God, ye kingdoms of the earth: sing ye to the Lord: Sing ye to God,
|
34 | who mounteth above the heaven of heavens, to the east. Behold he will give to his voice the voice of power:
|
35 | give ye glory to God for Israel, his magnificence, and his power is in the clouds.
|
36 | God is wonderful in his saints: the God of Israel is he who will give power and strength to his people. Blessed be God.
