Psalms 68 — To the chief Musician, A Psalm or Song of David.

Psalms · Restored Names Edition

1Let Elohim (God) arise, let his enemies be scattered: let them also that hate him flee before him.

2As smoke is driven away, so drive them away: as wax melteth before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of Elohim (God).

3But let the righteous be glad; let them rejoice before Elohim (God): yea, let them exceedingly rejoice.

4Sing unto Elohim (God), sing praises to his name: extol him that rides upon the heavens by his name JAH, and rejoice before him.

5A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is Elohim (God) in his holy habitation.

6Elohim (God) sets the solitary in families: he brings out those which are bound with chains: but the rebellious dwell in a dry land.

7O Elohim (God), when you went forth before your people, when you did march through the wilderness; Selah:

8The earth shook, the heavens also dropped at the presence of Elohim (God): even Sinai itself was moved at the presence of Elohim (God), the Elohim (God) of Yashar'el (Israel).

9You, O Elohim (God), did send a plentiful rain, whereby you did confirm your inheritance, when it was weary.

10Your congregation has dwelt therein: you, O Elohim (God), have prepared of your goodness for the poor.

11Adonai (Lord) gave the word: great was the company of those that published it.

12Kings of armies did flee apace: and she that tarried at home divided the spoil.

13Though you have lien among the pots, yet shall you be as the wings of a dove covered with silver, and her feathers with yellow gold.

14When the Almighty scattered kings in it, it was white as snow in Salmon.

15The hill of Elohim (God) is as the hill of Bashan; an high hill as the hill of Bashan.

16Why leap you, you high hills? this is the hill which Elohim (God) desires to dwell in; yea, Yahuah (LORD) will dwell in it for ever.

17The chariots of Elohim (God) are twenty thousand, even thousands of angels: Adonai (Lord) is among them, as in Sinai, in the holy place.

18You have ascended on high, you have led captivity captive: you have received gifts for men; yea, for the rebellious also, that Yahuah Elohim (the LORD God) might dwell among them.

19Blessed be Adonai (Lord), who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the Elohim (God) of our salvation. Selah.

20He that is our Elohim (God) is the Elohim (God) of salvation; and unto GOD Adonai (Lord) belong the issues from death.

21But Elohim (God) shall wound the head of his enemies, and the hairy scalp of such an one as goes on still in his trespasses.

22Adonai (Lord) said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will bring my people again from the depths of the sea:

23That your foot may be dipped in the blood of your enemies, and the tongue of your dogs in the same.

24They have seen your goings, O Elohim (God); even the goings of my Elohim (God), my King, in the sanctuary.

25The singers went before, the players on instruments followed after; among them were the damsels playing with timbrels.

26Bless you Elohim (God) in the congregations, even Adonai (Lord), from the fountain of Yashar'el (Israel).

27There is little Benjamin with their ruler, the princes of Yahudah (Judah) and their council, the princes of Zebulun, and the princes of Naphtali.

28Your Elohim (God) has commanded your strength: strengthen, O Elohim (God), that which you have wrought for us.

29Because of your temple at Jerusalem shall kings bring presents unto you.

30Rebuke the company of spearmen, the multitude of the bulls, with the calves of the people, till every one submit himself with pieces of silver: scatter you the people that delight in war.

31Princes shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall soon stretch out her hands unto Elohim (God).

32Sing unto Elohim (God), you kingdoms of the earth; O sing praises unto Adonai (Lord); Selah:

33To him that rides upon the heavens of heavens, which were of old; lo, he does send out his voice, and that a mighty voice.

34Ascribe you strength unto Elohim (God): his excellency is over Yashar'el (Israel), and his strength is in the clouds.

35O Elohim (God), you are terrible out of your holy places: the Elohim (God) of Yashar'el (Israel) is he that gives strength and power unto his people. Blessed be Elohim (God).
