< תְהִלִּים 68 >
לַמְנַצֵּ֥חַ לְדָוִ֗ד מִזְמֹ֥ור שִֽׁיר׃ יָק֣וּם אֱ֭לֹהִים יָפ֣וּצוּ אֹויְבָ֑יו וְיָנ֥וּסוּ מְ֝שַׂנְאָ֗יו מִפָּנָֽיו׃ | 1 |
For the Chief Musician; A Psalm of David, a Song. Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered; Let them also that hate him flee before him.
כְּהִנְדֹּ֥ף עָשָׁ֗ן תִּ֫נְדֹּ֥ף כְּהִמֵּ֣ס דֹּ֭ונַג מִפְּנֵי־אֵ֑שׁ יֹאבְד֥וּ רְ֝שָׁעִ֗ים מִפְּנֵ֥י אֱלֹהִֽים׃ | 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 God.
וְֽצַדִּיקִ֗ים יִשְׂמְח֣וּ יַֽ֭עַלְצוּ לִפְנֵ֥י אֱלֹהִ֗ים וְיָשִׂ֥ישׂוּ בְשִׂמְחָֽה׃ | 3 |
But let the righteous be glad; let them exult before God: Yea, let them rejoice with gladness.
שִׁ֤ירוּ ׀ לֵֽאלֹהִים֮ זַמְּר֪וּ שְׁ֫מֹ֥ו סֹ֡לּוּ לָרֹכֵ֣ב בָּ֭עֲרָבֹות בְּיָ֥הּ שְׁמֹ֗ו וְעִלְז֥וּ לְפָנָֽיו׃ | 4 |
Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: Cast up a highway for him that rideth through the deserts; His name is Jehovah; and exult ye before him.
אֲבִ֣י יְ֭תֹומִים וְדַיַּ֣ן אַלְמָנֹ֑ות אֱ֝לֹהִ֗ים בִּמְעֹ֥ון קָדְשֹֽׁו׃ | 5 |
A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, Is God in his holy habitation.
אֱלֹהִ֤ים ׀ מֹ֘ושִׁ֤יב יְחִידִ֨ים ׀ בַּ֗יְתָה מֹוצִ֣יא אֲ֭סִירִים בַּכֹּושָׁרֹ֑ות אַ֥ךְ סֹ֝ורֲרִ֗ים שָׁכְנ֥וּ צְחִיחָֽה׃ | 6 |
God setteth the solitary in families: He bringeth out the prisoners into prosperity; But the rebellious dwell in a parched land.
אֱֽלֹהִ֗ים בְּ֭צֵאתְךָ לִפְנֵ֣י עַמֶּ֑ךָ בְּצַעְדְּךָ֖ בִֽישִׁימֹ֣ון סֶֽלָה׃ | 7 |
O God, when thou wentest forth before thy people, When thou didst march through the wilderness; (Selah)
אֶ֤רֶץ רָעָ֨שָׁה ׀ אַף־שָׁמַ֣יִם נָטְפוּ֮ מִפְּנֵ֪י אֱלֹ֫הִ֥ים זֶ֥ה סִינַ֑י מִפְּנֵ֥י אֱ֝לֹהִ֗ים אֱלֹהֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ | 8 |
The earth trembled, The heavens also dropped [rain] at the presence of God: Yon Sinai [trembled] at the presence of God, the God of Israel.
גֶּ֣שֶׁם נְ֭דָבֹות תָּנִ֣יף אֱלֹהִ֑ים נַחֲלָתְךָ֥ וְ֝נִלְאָ֗ה אַתָּ֥ה כֹֽונַנְתּֽ͏ָהּ׃ | 9 |
Thou, O God, didst send a plentiful rain, Thou didst confirm thine inheritance, when it was weary.
חַיָּתְךָ֥ יָֽשְׁבוּ־בָ֑הּ תָּ֤כִ֥ין בְּטֹובָתְךָ֖ לֶעָנִ֣י אֱלֹהִֽים׃ | 10 |
Thy congregation dwelt therein: Thou, O God, didst prepare of thy goodness for the poor.
אֲדֹנָ֥י יִתֶּן־אֹ֑מֶר הַֽ֝מְבַשְּׂרֹ֗ות צָבָ֥א רָֽב׃ | 11 |
The Lord giveth the word: The women that publish the tidings are a great host.
מַלְכֵ֣י צְ֭בָאֹות יִדֹּד֣וּן יִדֹּד֑וּן וּנְוַת בַּ֝֗יִת תְּחַלֵּ֥ק שָׁלָֽל׃ | 12 |
Kings of armies flee, they flee; And she that tarrieth at home divideth the spoil.
אִֽם־תִּשְׁכְּבוּן֮ בֵּ֪ין שְׁפַ֫תָּ֥יִם כַּנְפֵ֣י יֹ֭ונָה נֶחְפָּ֣ה בַכֶּ֑סֶף וְ֝אֶבְרֹותֶ֗יהָ בִּֽירַקְרַ֥ק חָרֽוּץ׃ | 13 |
When ye lie among the sheepfolds, [It is as] the wings of a dove covered with silver, And her pinions with yellow gold.
בְּפָ֘רֵ֤שׂ שַׁדַּ֓י מְלָ֘כִ֤ים בָּ֗הּ תַּשְׁלֵ֥ג בְּצַלְמֹֽון׃ | 14 |
When the Almighty scattered kings therein, [It was as when] it snoweth in Zalmon.
הַר־אֱ֭לֹהִים הַר־בָּשָׁ֑ן הַ֥ר גַּ֝בְנֻנִּ֗ים הַר־בָּשָֽׁן׃ | 15 |
A mountain of God is the mountain of Bashan; A high mountain is the mountain of Bashan.
לָ֤מָּה ׀ תְּֽרַצְּדוּן֮ הָרִ֪ים גַּבְנֻ֫נִּ֥ים הָהָ֗ר חָמַ֣ד אֱלֹהִ֣ים לְשִׁבְתֹּ֑ו אַף־יְ֝הוָ֗ה יִשְׁכֹּ֥ן לָנֶֽצַח׃ | 16 |
Why look ye askance, ye high mountains, At the mountain which God hath desired for his abode? Yea, Jehovah will dwell [in it] for ever.
רֶ֤כֶב אֱלֹהִ֗ים רִבֹּתַ֣יִם אַלְפֵ֣י שִׁנְאָ֑ן אֲדֹנָ֥י בָ֝֗ם סִינַ֥י בַּקֹּֽדֶשׁ׃ | 17 |
The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands upon thousands: The Lord is among them, [as in] Sinai, in the sanctuary.
עָ֘לִ֤יתָ לַמָּרֹ֨ום ׀ שָׁ֘בִ֤יתָ שֶּׁ֗בִי לָקַ֣חְתָּ מַ֭תָּנֹות בָּאָדָ֑ם וְאַ֥ף סֹ֝ורְרִ֗ים לִשְׁכֹּ֤ן ׀ יָ֬הּ אֱלֹהִֽים׃ | 18 |
Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led away captives; Thou hast received gifts among men, Yea, [among] the rebellious also, that Jehovah God might dwell [with them].
בָּ֤ר֣וּךְ אֲדֹנָי֮ יֹ֤ום ׀ יֹ֥ום יַֽעֲמָס־לָ֗נוּ הָ֘אֵ֤ל יְֽשׁוּעָתֵ֬נוּ סֶֽלָה׃ | 19 |
Blessed be the Lord, who daily beareth our burden, Even the God who is our salvation. (Selah)
הָ֤אֵ֣ל ׀ לָנוּ֮ אֵ֤ל לְֽמֹושָׁ֫עֹ֥ות וְלֵיהוִ֥ה אֲדֹנָ֑י לַ֝מָּ֗וֶת תֹּוצָאֹֽות׃ | 20 |
God is unto us a God of deliverances; And unto Jehovah the Lord belongeth escape from death.
אַךְ־אֱלֹהִ֗ים יִמְחַץ֮ רֹ֤אשׁ אֹ֫יְבָ֥יו קָדְקֹ֥ד שֵׂעָ֑ר מִ֝תְהַלֵּ֗ךְ בַּאֲשָׁמָֽיו׃ | 21 |
But God will smite through the head of his enemies, The hairy scalp of such a one as goeth on still in his guiltiness.
אָמַ֣ר אֲ֭דֹנָי מִבָּשָׁ֣ן אָשִׁ֑יב אָ֝שִׁ֗יב מִֽמְּצֻלֹ֥ות יָֽם׃ | 22 |
The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will bring [them] again from the depths of the sea;
לְמַ֤עַן ׀ תִּֽמְחַ֥ץ רַגְלְךָ֗ בְּ֫דָ֥ם לְשֹׁ֥ון כְּלָבֶ֑יךָ מֵאֹיְבִ֥ים מִנֵּֽהוּ׃ | 23 |
That thou mayest crush [them], [dipping] thy foot in blood, That the tongue of thy dogs may have its portion from [thine] enemies.
רָא֣וּ הֲלִיכֹותֶ֣יךָ אֱלֹהִ֑ים הֲלִ֘יכֹ֤ות אֵלִ֖י מַלְכִּ֣י בַקֹּֽדֶשׁ׃ | 24 |
They have seen thy goings, O God, Even the goings of my God, my King, into the sanctuary.
קִדְּמ֣וּ שָׁ֭רִים אַחַ֣ר נֹגְנִ֑ים בְּתֹ֥וךְ עֲ֝לָמֹ֗ות תֹּופֵפֹֽות׃ | 25 |
The singers went before, the minstrels followed after, In the midst of the damsels playing with timbrels.
בְּֽ֭מַקְהֵלֹות בָּרְכ֣וּ אֱלֹהִ֑ים יְ֝הוָ֗ה מִמְּקֹ֥ור יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ | 26 |
Bless ye God in the congregations, Even the Lord, [ye that are] of the fountain of Israel.
שָׁ֤ם בִּנְיָמִ֨ן ׀ צָעִ֡יר רֹדֵ֗ם שָׂרֵ֣י יְ֭הוּדָה רִגְמָתָ֑ם שָׂרֵ֥י זְ֝בֻל֗וּן שָׂרֵ֥י נַפְתָּלִֽי׃ | 27 |
There is little Benjamin their ruler, The princes of Judah [and] their council, The princes of Zebulun, the princes of Naphtali.
צִוָּ֥ה אֱלֹהֶ֗יךָ עֻ֫זֶּ֥ךָ עוּזָּ֥ה אֱלֹהִ֑ים ז֝֗וּ פָּעַ֥לְתָּ לָּֽנוּ׃ | 28 |
Thy God hath commanded thy strength: Strengthen, O God, that which thou hast wrought for us.
מֵֽ֭הֵיכָלֶךָ עַל־יְרוּשָׁלָ֑͏ִם לְךָ֤ יֹובִ֖ילוּ מְלָכִ֣ים שָֽׁי׃ | 29 |
Because of thy temple at Jerusalem Kings shall bring presents unto thee.
גְּעַ֨ר חַיַּ֪ת קָנֶ֡ה עֲדַ֤ת אַבִּירִ֨ים ׀ בְּעֶגְלֵ֬י עַמִּ֗ים מִתְרַפֵּ֥ס בְּרַצֵּי־כָ֑סֶף בִּזַּ֥ר עַ֝מִּ֗ים קְרָבֹ֥ות יֶחְפָּֽצוּ׃ | 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.
יֶאֱתָ֣יוּ חַ֭שְׁמַנִּים מִנִּ֣י מִצְרָ֑יִם כּ֥וּשׁ תָּרִ֥יץ יָ֝דָ֗יו לֵאלֹהִֽים׃ | 31 |
Princes shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall haste to stretch out her hands unto God.
מַמְלְכֹ֣ות הָ֭אָרֶץ שִׁ֣ירוּ לֵאלֹהִ֑ים זַמְּר֖וּ אֲדֹנָ֣י סֶֽלָה׃ | 32 |
Sing unto God, ye kingdoms of the earth; Oh sing praises unto the Lord; (Selah)
לָ֭רֹכֵב בִּשְׁמֵ֣י שְׁמֵי־קֶ֑דֶם הֵ֥ן יִתֵּ֥ן בְּ֝קֹולֹו קֹ֣ול עֹֽז׃ | 33 |
To him that rideth upon the heaven of heavens, which are of old; Lo, he uttereth his voice, a mighty voice.
תְּנ֥וּ עֹ֗ז לֵֽאלֹ֫הִ֥ים עַֽל־יִשְׂרָאֵ֥ל גַּאֲוָתֹ֑ו וְ֝עֻזֹּ֗ו בַּשְּׁחָקִֽים׃ | 34 |
Ascribe ye strength unto God: His excellency is over Israel, And his strength is in the skies.
נֹ֤ורָ֥א אֱלֹהִ֗ים מִֽמִּקְדָּ֫שֶׁ֥יךָ אֵ֤ל יִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל ה֤וּא נֹתֵ֨ן ׀ עֹ֖ז וְתַעֲצֻמֹ֥ות לָעָ֗ם בָּר֥וּךְ אֱלֹהִֽים׃ | 35 |
O God, [thou art] terrible out of thy holy places: The God of Israel, he giveth strength and power unto [his] people. Blessed be God.
