Tehillim 68

²Let Elohim arise, let His oyevim be scattered;

let them also that hate Him flee before Him.

³As ashan (smoke) is blown away,

so drive them away; as wax melteth before the eish,

so let the resha'im perish at the presence of Elohim.

⁴But let the tzaddikim have simchah;

let them rejoice before Elohim;

and, let them rejoice with simchah.

⁵Sing unto Elohim,

sing praises to Shmo;

extol Him that rideth on the clouds by Shmo Hashem ,

and rejoice before Him.

⁶Avi yetomim (father of orphans) , and a dayan (judge) of almanot (widows) ,

is Elohim in His Ma'on Kodesh.

⁷Elohim setteth the yechidim (alone ones) in a family;

He bringeth out those which are asirim (prisoners, those bound with chains) ;

but the sorerim (rebels) dwell in a dry land.

⁸O Elohim, when Thou wentest forth before Thy people,

when Thou didst march through the wilderness;

Selah ;

⁹Eretz shook, Shomayim also poured rain at the presence of Elohim;

even Sinai itself was moved at the presence of Elohim, Elohei Yisroel.

¹⁰Thou, O Elohim, didst send a plentiful geshem (rain) ,

whereby Thou didst restore Thine nachalah, when it was parched.

¹¹Thy congregation hath dwelt therein;

Thou, O Elohim, hast prepared of Thy bounty for the oni.

¹²Adonoi gave the word;

rav (great) was the tzava (company, army)

of the mevaserot (heralds, those that published it, the lady evangelists) .

¹³Melachim of tzeva'ot (armies) shall flee, they flee;

and she that tarried at home shall divide the plunder.

¹⁴Though ye have lain among the cooking pots,

yet shall ye be as the wings of a yonah covered with kesef,

and her feathers with glistening gold.

¹⁵When Shaddai scattered melachim therein,

it was white as snow in Tzalmon.

¹⁶The Har Elohim is the Har Bashan;

a mountain of peaks is the Har Bashan.

¹⁷Why gaze ye in envy, ye many-peaked harim?

This is the har which Elohim hath chosen to dwell in;

indeed, Hashem will dwell in it lanetzach (forever) .

¹⁸The merkavot of Elohim are myriads,

a thousand thousands;

Adonoi is among them, as in Sinai, in kodesh (holiness) .

¹⁹Thou hast ascended on marom (high) ,

Thou hast led captivity captive;

Thou hast received mattanot among adam;

yes, even from the sorerim (the rebellious) also, that Hashem Elohim might dwell.

²⁰Baruch Adonoi,

Who yom yom bears us up,

even HaEl Yeshu'ateinu (the G-d of our salvation) .

Selah

²¹Our G-d is a G-d who saves;

and from Hashem Adonoi come escapes from mavet (death) .

²²But Elohim shall shatter the rosh of His oyevim,

and the hairy kodkod (crown of the head, scalp) of such a one as continueth on in his trespasses.

²³Adonoi said, I will bring back from Bashan,

I will bring back from the depths of the sea;

²⁴That thy regel may be bathed in dahm,

that the leshon of thy klavim (dogs) may partake of the oyevim.

²⁵They have seen Thy processions, O Elohim;

even the goings of my G-d, my Melech, in the Kodesh.

²⁶The sharim (singers) went before, the nogenim (players on instruments) followed after;

among them were the alamot (young unmarried virgins) playing timbrels.

²⁷Barchu Elohim in the congregations,

even Hashem , out of the Makor Yisroel (Fountain of Israel) .

²⁸There is Binyamin, the youngest at the head;

the sarim (princes) of Yehudah and the throng of them,

the sarim (princes) of Zevulun, and the sarim (princes) of Naphtali.

²⁹Eloheicha hath commanded thy oz;

strengthen, O Elohim, that which Thou hast wrought for us.

³⁰Because of Thy Heikhal at Yerushalayim

shall melachim bring offerings unto Thee.

³¹Rebuke the chayat kaneh,

the adat (herd) of bulls,

with the agalim (calves) of the nations,

till every one prostrate himself with ingots of kesef; He scatters the people that delight in wars.

³²Magnates shall come out of Mitzrayim;

Ethiopia shall soon stretch out her hands unto Elohim.

³³Sing unto Elohim, ye mamlechot of ha'aretz;

O sing praises unto Adonoi.

Selah

³⁴To Him that rideth upon the skies of Shomayim of old;

lo, He doth send out His voice, and that a kol oz (mighty voice) .

³⁵Ascribe ye oz (power) unto Elohim;

His majesty is over Yisroel,

and His oz is in the skies.

³⁶O Elohim, Thou art norah (awesome, terrible) out of Thy Mikdashim;

the El (G-d) of Yisroel is He that giveth oz and strength unto His people.

Baruch Elohim.
