For the Chief Musician; A Psalm of David, a song. |
1
|
Let YAHUVEH arise, let his enemies be scattered; Let them also that hate
him flee before him. |
2
|
As smoke is driven away, so drive them away: As wax melteth before the
fire, So let the wicked perish at the presence of YAHUVEH. |
3
|
But let the righteous be glad; let them exult before YAHUVEH: Yea, let
them rejoice with gladness. |
4
|
Sing unto YAHUVEH, sing praises to his name: Cast up a highway for him
that rideth through the deserts; His name is Yah; and exult ye before him. |
5
|
A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, Is YAHUVEH in his
holy habitation. |
6
|
YAHUVEH setteth the solitary in families: He bringeth out the prisoners
into prosperity; But the rebellious dwell in a parched land. |
7
|
O YAHUVEH, when thou wentest forth before thy people, When thou didst
march through the wilderness; Selah |
8
|
The earth trembled, The heavens also dropped rain at the presence
of YAHUVEH: Yon Sinai trembled at the presence of YAHUVEH, the YAHUVEH
of Israel. |
9
|
Thou, O YAHUVEH, didst send a plentiful rain, Thou didst confirm thine
inheritance, when it was weary. |
10
|
Thy congregation dwelt therein: Thou, O YAHUVEH, didst prepare of thy
goodness for the poor. |
11
|
The Master giveth the word: The women that publish the tidings are a
great host. |
12
|
Kings of armies flee, they flee; And she that tarrieth at home divideth
the spoil. |
13
|
When ye lie among the sheepfolds, It is as the wings of a dove
covered with silver, And her pinions with yellow gold. |
14
|
When the Almighty scattered kings therein, It was as when it
snoweth in Zalmon. |
15
|
A mountain of YAHUVEH is the mountain of Bashan; A high mountain is the
mountain of Bashan. |
16
|
Why look ye askance, ye high mountains, At the mountain which YAHUVEH
hath desired for his abode? Yea, YAHUVEH will dwell in it for ever. |
17
|
The chariots of YAHUVEH are twenty thousand, even thousands upon
thousands; The Master is among them, as in Sinai, in the sanctuary. |
18
|
Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led away captives; Thou hast
received gifts among men, Yea, among the rebellious also, that Yah
YAHUVEH might dwell with them. |
19
|
Blessed be the Master, who daily beareth our burden, Even the YAHUVEH who
is our salvation. Selah |
20
|
YAHUVEH is unto us a YAHUVEH of deliverances; And unto YAHUVEH the Master
belongeth escape from death. |
21
|
But YAHUVEH will smite through the head of his enemies, The hairy scalp
of such a one as goeth on still in his guiltiness. |
22
|
The Master said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will bring them
again from the depths of the sea; |
23
|
That thou mayest crush them, dipping thy foot in blood,
That the tongue of thy dogs may have its portion from thine enemies. |
24
|
They have seen thy goings, O YAHUVEH, Even the goings of my YAHUVEH, my
King, into the sanctuary. |
25
|
The singers went before, the minstrels followed after, In the midst of
the damsels playing with timbrels. |
26
|
Bless ye YAHUVEH in the congregations, Even the Master, ye that are
of the fountain of Israel. |
27
|
There is little Benjamin their ruler, The princes of Judah and
their council, The princes of Zebulun, the princes of Naphtali. |
28
|
Thy YAHUVEH hath commanded thy strength: Strengthen, O YAHUVEH, that which
thou hast wrought for us. |
29
|
Because of thy temple at Jerusalem Kings shall bring presents unto thee. |
30
|
Rebuke the wild beast of the reeds, The multitude of the bulls, with the
calves of the peoples, Trampling under foot the pieces of silver: He hath
scattered the peoples that delight in war. |
31
|
Princes shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall haste to stretch out her
hands unto YAHUVEH. |
32
|
Sing unto YAHUVEH, ye kingdoms of the earth; Oh sing praises unto the
Master; Selah |
33
|
To him that rideth upon the heaven of heavens, which are of old; Lo, he
uttereth his voice, a mighty voice. |
34
|
Ascribe ye strength unto YAHUVEH: His excellency is over Israel, And his
strength is in the skies. |
35
|
O YAHUVEH, thou art terrible out of thy holy places: The YAHUVEH of
Israel, he giveth strength and power unto his people. Blessed be
YAHUVEH. |
