< תְהִלִּים 68 >
לַמְנַצֵּ֥חַ לְדָוִ֗ד מִזְמֹ֥ור שִֽׁיר׃ יָק֣וּם אֱ֭לֹהִים יָפ֣וּצוּ אֹויְבָ֑יו וְיָנ֥וּסוּ מְ֝שַׂנְאָ֗יו מִפָּנָֽיו׃ | 1 |
To the chief music-maker. Of David. A Psalm. A Song. Let God be seen, and let his haters be put to flight; let those who are against him be turned back before him.
כְּהִנְדֹּ֥ף עָשָׁ֗ן תִּ֫נְדֹּ֥ף כְּהִמֵּ֣ס דֹּ֭ונַג מִפְּנֵי־אֵ֑שׁ יֹאבְד֥וּ רְ֝שָׁעִ֗ים מִפְּנֵ֥י אֱלֹהִֽים׃ | 2 |
Let them be like smoke before the driving wind; as wax turning soft before the fire, so let them come to an end before the power of God.
וְֽצַדִּיקִ֗ים יִשְׂמְח֣וּ יַֽ֭עַלְצוּ לִפְנֵ֥י אֱלֹהִ֗ים וְיָשִׂ֥ישׂוּ בְשִׂמְחָֽה׃ | 3 |
But let the upright be glad; let them have delight before God; let them be full of joy.
שִׁ֤ירוּ ׀ לֵֽאלֹהִים֮ זַמְּר֪וּ שְׁ֫מֹ֥ו סֹ֡לּוּ לָרֹכֵ֣ב בָּ֭עֲרָבֹות בְּיָ֥הּ שְׁמֹ֗ו וְעִלְז֥וּ לְפָנָֽיו׃ | 4 |
Make songs to God, make songs of praise to his name; make a way for him who comes through the waste lands; his name is Jah; be glad before him.
אֲבִ֣י יְ֭תֹומִים וְדַיַּ֣ן אַלְמָנֹ֑ות אֱ֝לֹהִ֗ים בִּמְעֹ֥ון קָדְשֹֽׁו׃ | 5 |
A father to those who have no father, a judge of the widows, is God in his holy place.
אֱלֹהִ֤ים ׀ מֹ֘ושִׁ֤יב יְחִידִ֨ים ׀ בַּ֗יְתָה מֹוצִ֣יא אֲ֭סִירִים בַּכֹּושָׁרֹ֑ות אַ֥ךְ סֹ֝ורֲרִ֗ים שָׁכְנ֥וּ צְחִיחָֽה׃ | 6 |
Those who are without friends, God puts in families; he makes free those who are in chains; but those who are turned away from him are given a dry land.
אֱֽלֹהִ֗ים בְּ֭צֵאתְךָ לִפְנֵ֣י עַמֶּ֑ךָ בְּצַעְדְּךָ֖ בִֽישִׁימֹ֣ון סֶֽלָה׃ | 7 |
O God, when you went out before your people, wandering through the waste land; (Selah)
אֶ֤רֶץ רָעָ֨שָׁה ׀ אַף־שָׁמַ֣יִם נָטְפוּ֮ מִפְּנֵ֪י אֱלֹ֫הִ֥ים זֶ֥ה סִינַ֑י מִפְּנֵ֥י אֱ֝לֹהִ֗ים אֱלֹהֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ | 8 |
The earth was shaking and the heavens were streaming, because God was present; even Sinai itself was moved before God, the God of Israel.
גֶּ֣שֶׁם נְ֭דָבֹות תָּנִ֣יף אֱלֹהִ֑ים נַחֲלָתְךָ֥ וְ֝נִלְאָ֗ה אַתָּ֥ה כֹֽונַנְתּֽ͏ָהּ׃ | 9 |
You, O God, did freely send the rain, giving strength to the weariness of your heritage.
חַיָּתְךָ֥ יָֽשְׁבוּ־בָ֑הּ תָּ֤כִ֥ין בְּטֹובָתְךָ֖ לֶעָנִ֣י אֱלֹהִֽים׃ | 10 |
Those whose resting-place was there, even the poor, were comforted by your good things, O God.
אֲדֹנָ֥י יִתֶּן־אֹ֑מֶר הַֽ֝מְבַשְּׂרֹ֗ות צָבָ֥א רָֽב׃ | 11 |
The Lord gives the word; great is the number of the women who make it public.
מַלְכֵ֣י צְ֭בָאֹות יִדֹּד֣וּן יִדֹּד֑וּן וּנְוַת בַּ֝֗יִת תְּחַלֵּ֥ק שָׁלָֽל׃ | 12 |
Kings of armies quickly go in flight: and the women in the houses make a division of their goods.
אִֽם־תִּשְׁכְּבוּן֮ בֵּ֪ין שְׁפַ֫תָּ֥יִם כַּנְפֵ֣י יֹ֭ונָה נֶחְפָּ֣ה בַכֶּ֑סֶף וְ֝אֶבְרֹותֶ֗יהָ בִּֽירַקְרַ֥ק חָרֽוּץ׃ | 13 |
Will you take your rest among the flocks? like the wings of a dove covered with silver, and its feathers with yellow gold.
בְּפָ֘רֵ֤שׂ שַׁדַּ֓י מְלָ֘כִ֤ים בָּ֗הּ תַּשְׁלֵ֥ג בְּצַלְמֹֽון׃ | 14 |
When the Most High put the kings to flight, it was as white as snow in Salmon.
הַר־אֱ֭לֹהִים הַר־בָּשָׁ֑ן הַ֥ר גַּ֝בְנֻנִּ֗ים הַר־בָּשָֽׁן׃ | 15 |
A hill of God is the hill of Bashan; a hill with high tops is the hill of Bashan.
לָ֤מָּה ׀ תְּֽרַצְּדוּן֮ הָרִ֪ים גַּבְנֻ֫נִּ֥ים הָהָ֗ר חָמַ֣ד אֱלֹהִ֣ים לְשִׁבְתֹּ֑ו אַף־יְ֝הוָ֗ה יִשְׁכֹּ֥ן לָנֶֽצַח׃ | 16 |
Why are you looking with envy, you high hills, on the hill desired by God as his resting-place? truly, God will make it his house for ever.
רֶ֤כֶב אֱלֹהִ֗ים רִבֹּתַ֣יִם אַלְפֵ֣י שִׁנְאָ֑ן אֲדֹנָ֥י בָ֝֗ם סִינַ֥י בַּקֹּֽדֶשׁ׃ | 17 |
The war-carriage of God is among Israel's thousands; the Lord has come from Sinai to the holy place.
עָ֘לִ֤יתָ לַמָּרֹ֨ום ׀ שָׁ֘בִ֤יתָ שֶּׁ֗בִי לָקַ֣חְתָּ מַ֭תָּנֹות בָּאָדָ֑ם וְאַ֥ף סֹ֝ורְרִ֗ים לִשְׁכֹּ֤ן ׀ יָ֬הּ אֱלֹהִֽים׃ | 18 |
You have gone up on high, taking your prisoners with you; you have taken offerings from men; the Lord God has taken his place on the seat of his power.
בָּ֤ר֣וּךְ אֲדֹנָי֮ יֹ֤ום ׀ יֹ֥ום יַֽעֲמָס־לָ֗נוּ הָ֘אֵ֤ל יְֽשׁוּעָתֵ֬נוּ סֶֽלָה׃ | 19 |
Praise be to the Lord, who is our support day by day, even the God of our salvation. (Selah)
הָ֤אֵ֣ל ׀ לָנוּ֮ אֵ֤ל לְֽמֹושָׁ֫עֹ֥ות וְלֵיהוִ֥ה אֲדֹנָ֑י לַ֝מָּ֗וֶת תֹּוצָאֹֽות׃ | 20 |
Our God is for us a God of salvation; his are the ways out of death.
אַךְ־אֱלֹהִ֗ים יִמְחַץ֮ רֹ֤אשׁ אֹ֫יְבָ֥יו קָדְקֹ֥ד שֵׂעָ֑ר מִ֝תְהַלֵּ֗ךְ בַּאֲשָׁמָֽיו׃ | 21 |
The heads of the haters of God will be crushed; even the head of him who still goes on in his evil ways.
אָמַ֣ר אֲ֭דֹנָי מִבָּשָׁ֣ן אָשִׁ֑יב אָ֝שִׁ֗יב מִֽמְּצֻלֹ֥ות יָֽם׃ | 22 |
The Lord said, I will make them come back from Bashan, and from the deep parts of the sea;
לְמַ֤עַן ׀ תִּֽמְחַ֥ץ רַגְלְךָ֗ בְּ֫דָ֥ם לְשֹׁ֥ון כְּלָבֶ֑יךָ מֵאֹיְבִ֥ים מִנֵּֽהוּ׃ | 23 |
So that your foot may be red with blood, and the tongues of your dogs with the same.
רָא֣וּ הֲלִיכֹותֶ֣יךָ אֱלֹהִ֑ים הֲלִ֘יכֹ֤ות אֵלִ֖י מַלְכִּ֣י בַקֹּֽדֶשׁ׃ | 24 |
We see your going, O God: even the going of my God, my King, into the holy place.
קִדְּמ֣וּ שָׁ֭רִים אַחַ֣ר נֹגְנִ֑ים בְּתֹ֥וךְ עֲ֝לָמֹ֗ות תֹּופֵפֹֽות׃ | 25 |
The makers of songs go before, the players of music come after, among the young girls playing on brass instruments.
בְּֽ֭מַקְהֵלֹות בָּרְכ֣וּ אֱלֹהִ֑ים יְ֝הוָ֗ה מִמְּקֹ֥ור יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ | 26 |
Give praise to God in the great meeting; even the Lord, you who come from the fountain of Israel.
שָׁ֤ם בִּנְיָמִ֨ן ׀ צָעִ֡יר רֹדֵ֗ם שָׂרֵ֣י יְ֭הוּדָה רִגְמָתָ֑ם שָׂרֵ֥י זְ֝בֻל֗וּן שָׂרֵ֥י נַפְתָּלִֽי׃ | 27 |
There is little Benjamin ruling them, the chiefs of Judah and their army, the rulers of Zebulun and the rulers of Naphtali.
צִוָּ֥ה אֱלֹהֶ֗יךָ עֻ֫זֶּ֥ךָ עוּזָּ֥ה אֱלֹהִ֑ים ז֝֗וּ פָּעַ֥לְתָּ לָּֽנוּ׃ | 28 |
O God, send out your strength; the strength, O God, with which you have done great things for us,
מֵֽ֭הֵיכָלֶךָ עַל־יְרוּשָׁלָ֑͏ִם לְךָ֤ יֹובִ֖ילוּ מְלָכִ֣ים שָֽׁי׃ | 29 |
Out of your Temple in Jerusalem.
גְּעַ֨ר חַיַּ֪ת קָנֶ֡ה עֲדַ֤ת אַבִּירִ֨ים ׀ בְּעֶגְלֵ֬י עַמִּ֗ים מִתְרַפֵּ֥ס בְּרַצֵּי־כָ֑סֶף בִּזַּ֥ר עַ֝מִּ֗ים קְרָבֹ֥ות יֶחְפָּֽצוּ׃ | 30 |
Say sharp words to the beast among the water-plants, the band of strong ones, with the lords of the peoples, put an end to the people whose delight is in war.
יֶאֱתָ֣יוּ חַ֭שְׁמַנִּים מִנִּ֣י מִצְרָ֑יִם כּ֥וּשׁ תָּרִ֥יץ יָ֝דָ֗יו לֵאלֹהִֽים׃ | 31 |
Kings will give you offerings, they will come out of Egypt; from Pathros will come offerings of silver; Ethiopia will be stretching out her hands to God.
מַמְלְכֹ֣ות הָ֭אָרֶץ שִׁ֣ירוּ לֵאלֹהִ֑ים זַמְּר֖וּ אֲדֹנָ֣י סֶֽלָה׃ | 32 |
Make songs to God, you kingdoms of the earth; O make songs of praise to the Lord; (Selah)
לָ֭רֹכֵב בִּשְׁמֵ֣י שְׁמֵי־קֶ֑דֶם הֵ֥ן יִתֵּ֥ן בְּ֝קֹולֹו קֹ֣ול עֹֽז׃ | 33 |
To him who goes or the clouds of heaven, the heaven which was from earliest times; he sends out his voice of power.
תְּנ֥וּ עֹ֗ז לֵֽאלֹ֫הִ֥ים עַֽל־יִשְׂרָאֵ֥ל גַּאֲוָתֹ֑ו וְ֝עֻזֹּ֗ו בַּשְּׁחָקִֽים׃ | 34 |
Make clear that strength is God's: he is lifted up over Israel, and his power is in the clouds.
נֹ֤ורָ֥א אֱלֹהִ֗ים מִֽמִּקְדָּ֫שֶׁ֥יךָ אֵ֤ל יִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל ה֤וּא נֹתֵ֨ן ׀ עֹ֖ז וְתַעֲצֻמֹ֥ות לָעָ֗ם בָּר֥וּךְ אֱלֹהִֽים׃ | 35 |
O God, you are to be feared in your holy place: the God of Israel gives strength and power to his people. Praise be to God.
