Psalms 68
1 To the Chief Musician. David’s. A Melody, a Song. Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered, Yea let them that hate him flee before him:
To the victorie, the salm `of the song `of Dauid. God rise vp, and hise enemyes be scaterid; and thei that haten hym fle fro his face.
2 As smoke is driven about, Let them be driven about, —As wax is melted before a fire, Let the lawless perish before God.
As smoke failith, faile thei; as wax fletith fro the face of fier, so perische synneris fro the face of God.
3 But let, the righteous, be glad, let them exult before God, Yea let them rejoice with gladness.
And iust men eete, and make fulli ioye in the siyt of God; and delite thei in gladnesse.
4 Sing ye to God, Make music of his Name, —Lift up (a song), to him that rideth through the waste plains, —Since Yah is his name, exult ye before him.
Synge ye to God, seie ye salm to his name; make ye weie to hym, that stieth on the goyng doun, the Lord is name to hym. Make ye fulli ioye in his siyt, enemyes schulen be disturblid fro the face of hym,
5 The father of the fatherless, And the advocate of widows, Is God, in his holy habitation.
which is the fadir of fadirles and modirles children; and the iuge of widewis.
6 God, is he that causeth the solitary to dwell in a home, That bringeth out prisoners into prosperity, But, the rebellious, have made their habitation in a sunburnt land.
God is in his hooli place; God that makith men of o wille to dwelle in the hous. Which leedith out bi strengthe hem that ben boundun; in lijk maner hem that maken scharp, that dwellen in sepulcris.
7 O God! When thou camest forth before thy people, When thou didst stride through the wilderness, (Selah)
God, whanne thou yedist out in the siyt of thi puple; whanne thou passidist forth in the desert.
8 Earth, trembled, Yea, the heavens, dripped at the presence of God, —This Sinai—at the presence of God, the God of Israel.
The erthe was moued, for heuenes droppiden doun fro the face of God of Synay; fro the face of God of Israel.
9 A bounteous rain, dost thou shed abroad, O God, upon thine inheritance, When exhausted, thou thyself, hast supported it:
God, thou schalt departe wilful reyn to thin eritage, and it was sijk; but thou madist it parfit.
10 Thy living host, have remained therein, Thou dost provide, in thy bounty, for the humbled ones—O God!
Thi beestis schulen dwelle therynne; God, thou hast maad redi in thi swetnesse to the pore man.
11 Let, My Lord, but give the word, The herald bands, will be a mighty host:
The Lord schal yyue a word; to hem that prechen the gospel with myche vertu.
12 Kings of armies, they flee! they flee! And, she that stayeth at home, shall share the spoil.
The kyngis of vertues ben maad loued of the derlyng; and to the fairnesse of the hous to departe spuylis.
13 Though ye rest between the folds, The wings of the dove, shall be covered with silver, And, her pinions, with green-shimmering gold.
If ye slepen among the myddil of eritagis, the fetheris of the culuer ben of siluer; and the hyndrere thingis of the bak therof ben in the shynyng of gold.
14 When the Almighty scattereth kings therein, It will gleam like snow in the gloom:
While the king of heuene demeth kyngis theronne, thei schulen be maad whitter then snow in Selmon;
15 A mighty mountain, is the mountain of Bashan, A mountain of peaks, is the mountain of Bashan!—
the hille of God is a fat hille. The cruddid hil is a fat hil;
16 Wherefore start ye up, ye mountains, ye peaks? The mountain God hath coveted for his habitation, Surely, Yahweh will inhabit it ever!
wherto bileuen ye falsli, cruddid hillis? The hil in which it plesith wel God to dwelle ther ynne; for the Lord schal dwelle `in to the ende.
17 The chariots of God, are two myriads—thousands repeated, My Lord, is among them Sinai, is in the sanctuary!
The chare of God is manyfoold with ten thousynde, a thousynde of hem that ben glad; the Lord was in hem, in Syna, in the hooli.
18 Thou hast ascended on high, Thou hast led in procession a body of captives, Thou hast received gifts consisting of men, Yea even the rebellious, That, Yah, Elohim, might settle down to rest.
Thou stiedist an hiy, thou tokist caitiftee; thou resseyuedist yiftis among men. For whi thou tokist hem that bileueden not; for to dwelle in the Lord God.
19 Blessed be My Lord! Day by day, he beareth our burden for us, GOD himself, is our salvation. (Selah)
Blessid be the Lord ech dai; the God of oure heelthis schal make an eesie wei to vs.
20 The GOD we have, is a GOD of saving deeds, And, due to Yahweh, My Lord, are escapes from death.
Oure God is God to make men saaf; and outgoyng fro deeth is of the Lord God.
21 Yea, God himself, will smite through the head of his foes, —The hairy crown of him that is marching on in his guilty deeds.
Netheles God schal breke the heedis of hise enemyes; the cop of the heere of hem that goen in her trespassis.
22 Said My Lord, From Bashan, will I bring back, —I will bring back from the depths of the sea:
The Lord seide, Y schal turne fro Basan; Y schal turne in to the depthe of the see.
23 That thou mayest bathe thy foot in blood, —The tongue of thy dogs, from the foes, hath its portion.
That thi foot be deppid in blood; the tunge of thi doggis be dippid in blood of the enemyes of hym.
24 They have seen thy progress O God, The progress of my GOD, my king into the sanctuary:
God, thei sien thi goyngis yn; the goyngis yn of my God, of my king, which is in the hooli.
25 In front are the singers, Behind are the harpers, In the midst of damsels playing on timbrels:
Prynces ioyned with syngeris camen bifore; in the myddil of yonge dameselis syngynge in tympans.
26 In the congregations, bless ye God, My Lord, from among the called of Israel:
In chirchis blesse ye God; blesse ye the Lord fro the wellis of Israel.
27 There, is Benjamin, the Diminutive—ruling them, The princes of Judah—their throng, The princes of Zebulun, The princes of Naphtali.
There Beniamyn, a yonge man; in the rauyschyng of mynde. The princis of Juda weren the duykis of hem; the princis of Zabulon, the princis of Neptalym.
28 Thy God hath commanded thy strength, —The strength, O God, which thou hast wrought for us.
God, comaunde thou to thi vertu; God, conferme thou this thing, which thou hast wrouyt in vs.
29 Because of thy temple above Jerusalem, Unto thee, shall kings bear along a gift—
Fro thi temple, which is in Jerusalem; kyngis schulen offre yiftis to thee.
30 Rebuke thou, The wild beast of the reeds, The herd of mighty oxen among the calves of the peoples—Each one bowing down with bars of silver, —Scatter thou the peoples, who in wars take delight.
Blame thou the wielde beestis of the reheed, the gaderyng togidere of bolis is among the kien of puplis; that thei exclude hem that ben preuyd bi siluer. Distrie thou folkis that wolen batels,
31 Ambassadors come out of Egypt, The Ethiopian, eagerly stretcheth out his hands, unto God.
legatis schulen come fro Egipt; Ethiopie schal come bifore the hondis therof to God.
32 Ye kingdoms of the earth, sing unto God, Praise in song Adonay. (Selah)
Rewmes of the erthe, synge ye to God; seie ye salm to the Lord.
33 Unto him that rideth upon the most ancient heavens, Lo! he uttereth his voice, a voice of strength.
Singe ye to God; that stiede on the heuene of heuene at the eest. Lo! he schal yyue to his vois the vois of vertu, yyue ye glorie to God on Israel;
34 Ascribe ye strength unto God, —Over Israel, is his majesty, And his strength, in the skies. To be revered is God, for his sanctuary, —
his greet doyng and his vertu is in the cloudis.
35 As for the GOD of Israel, he, is giving strength and abundant might to the people. Blessed be God!
God is wondirful in hise seyntis; God of Israel, he schal yyue vertu, and strengthe to his puple; blessid be God.
