Psalm 68

Vulgate

   1 Magistro chori. David. PSALMUS. Canticum.
   2 Exsurgit Deus, et dissipantur inimici eius; et fugiunt, qui oderunt eum, a facie eius.
   3 Sicut dissipatur fumus, tu dissipas; sicut fluit cera a facie ignis, sic pereunt peccatores a facie Dei.
   4 Et iusti laetentur et exsultent in conspectu Dei et delectentur in laetitia.
   5 Cantate Deo, psalmum dicite nomini eius; iter facite ei, qui fertur super nubes: Dominus nomen illi. Iubilate in conspectu eius;
   6 pater orphanorum et iudex viduarum, Deus in habitaculo sancto suo.
   7 Deus, qui inhabitare facit desolatos in domo, qui educit vinctos in prosperitatem; verumtamen rebelles habitabunt in arida terra. -
   8 Deus, cum egredereris in conspectu populi tui, cum pertransires in deserto,
   9 terra mota est, etiam caeli distillaverunt a facie Dei Sinai, a facie Dei Israel.
   10 Pluviam voluntariam effundebas, Deus; hereditatem tuam infirmatam, tu refecisti eam.
   11 Animalia tua habitabant in ea, parasti in bonitate tua pauperi, Deus.
   12 Dominus dat verbum; virgines annuntiantes bona sunt agmen ingens:
   13 "Reges exercituum fugiunt, fugiunt, et species domus dividit spolia.
   14 Et vos dormitis inter medias caulas: alae columbae nitent argento, et pennae eius pallore auri.
   15 Dum dispergit Omnipotens reges super eam, nive dealbatur Selmon".
   16 Mons Dei mons Basan, mons cacuminum mons Basan.
   17 Ut quid invidetis, montes cacuminum, monti, in quo beneplacitum est Deo inhabitare? Etenim Dominus habitabit in finem.
   18 Currus Dei decem milia milium: Dominus venit de Sinai in sancta.
   19 Ascendisti in altum, captivam duxisti captivitatem; accepisti in donum homines, ut etiam rebelles habitent apud Dominum Deum.
   20 Benedictus Dominus die cotidie; portabit nos Deus salutarium nostrorum.
   21 Deus noster, Deus ad salvandum; et Domini, Domini exitus mortis.
   22 Verumtamen Deus confringet capita inimicorum suorum, verticem capillatum perambulantium in delictis suis.
   23 Dixit Dominus: "Ex Basan reducam, reducam de profundo maris,
   24 ut intingatur pes tuus in sanguine, lingua canum tuorum ex inimicis portionem inveniat".
   25 Viderunt ingressus tuos, Deus, ingressus Dei mei, regis mei in sancta.
   26 Praecedunt cantores, postremi veniunt psallentes. in medio iuvenculae tympanistriae.
   27 "In ecclesiis benedicite Deo, Domino, vos de fontibus Israel".
   28 Ibi Beniamin adulescentulus ducens eos, principes Iudae cum turma sua, principes Zabulon, principes Nephthali.
   29 Manda, Deus, virtuti tuae; confirma hoc, Deus, quod operatus es in nobis.
   30 A templo tuo in Ierusalem tibi afferent reges munera.
   31 Increpa feram arundinis, congregationem taurorum in vitulis populorum: prosternant se cum laminis argenti. Dissipa gentes, quae bella volunt.
   32 Venient optimates ex Aegypto, Aethiopia praeveniet manus suas Deo.
   33 Regna terrae, cantate Deo, psallite Domino, psallite Deo,
   34 qui fertur super caelum caeli ad orientem; ecce dabit vocem suam, vocem virtutis.
   35 Tribuite virtutem Deo. Super Israel magnificentia eius, et virtus eius in nubibus.
   36 Mirabilis, Deus, de sanctuario tuo! Deus Israel ipse tribuet virtutem et fortitudinem plebi suae. Benedictus Deus!

King James Version

To the chief Musician, A Psalm or Song of David.

   1 Let God 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 God.
   3 But let the righteous be glad; let them rejoice before God: yea, let them exceedingly rejoice.
   4 Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth upon the heavens by his name JAH, and rejoice before him.
   5 A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God in his holy habitation.
   6 God setteth the solitary in families: he bringeth out those which are bound with chains: but the rebellious dwell in a dry land.
   7 O God, when thou wentest forth before thy people, when thou didst march through the wilderness; Selah:
   8 The earth shook, the heavens also dropped at the presence of God: even Sinai itself was moved at the presence of God, the God of Israel.
   9 Thou, O God, didst send a plentiful rain, whereby thou didst confirm thine inheritance, when it was weary.
   10 Thy congregation hath dwelt therein: thou, O God, hast prepared of thy goodness for the poor.
   11 The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that published it.
   12 Kings of armies did flee apace: and she that tarried at home divided the spoil.
   13 Though ye have lien among the pots, yet shall ye be as the wings of a dove covered with silver, and her feathers with yellow gold.
   14 When the Almighty scattered kings in it, it was white as snow in Salmon.
   15 The hill of God is as the hill of Bashan; an high hill as the hill of Bashan.
   16 Why leap ye, ye high hills? this is the hill which God desireth to dwell in; yea, the LORD will dwell in it for ever.
   17 The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands of angels: the Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in the holy place.
   18 Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive: thou hast received gifts for men; yea, for the rebellious also, that the LORD God might dwell among them.
   19 Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah.
   20 He that is our God is the God of salvation; and unto GOD the Lord belong the issues from death.
   21 But God shall wound the head of his enemies, and the hairy scalp of such an one as goeth on still in his trespasses.
   22 The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will bring my people again from the depths of the sea:
   23 That thy foot may be dipped in the blood of thine enemies, and the tongue of thy dogs in the same.
   24 They have seen thy goings, O God; even the goings of my God, my King, in the sanctuary.
   25 The singers went before, the players on instruments followed after; among them were the damsels playing with timbrels.
   26 Bless ye God in the congregations, even the Lord, from the fountain of Israel.
   27 There is little Benjamin with their ruler, the princes of Judah and their council, the princes of Zebulun, and the princes of Naphtali.
   28 Thy God hath commanded thy strength: strengthen, O God, that which thou hast wrought for us.
   29 Because of thy temple at Jerusalem shall kings bring presents unto thee.
   30 Rebuke the company of spearmen, the multitude of the bulls, with the calves of the people, till every one submit himself with pieces of silver: scatter thou the people that delight in war.
   31 Princes shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall soon stretch out her hands unto God.
   32 Sing unto God, ye kingdoms of the earth; O sing praises unto the Lord; Selah:
   33 To him that rideth upon the heavens of heavens, which were of old; lo, he doth send out his voice, and that a mighty voice.
   34 Ascribe ye strength unto God: his excellency is over Israel, and his strength is in the clouds.
   35 O God, thou art terrible out of thy holy places: the God of Israel is he that giveth strength and power unto his people. Blessed be God.
