67:1For the end. Of David, a psalm of a song.
67:2Let God arise, and let His enemies be scattered,
and let those hating Him flee from His presence.
67:3As smoke vanishes, let them vanish;
as wax melts before fire,
so may sinners perish before God.
67:4Let the righteous rejoice and exult before God;
let them delight in gladness.
67:5Sing to God; make music to His name.
Make a road for Him who rides upon the west—Lord is His name—
and exult before Him.
They will be troubled before Him,
67:6the Father of orphans and judge of widows,
God in His holy place.
67:7God settles those of one disposition in a house,
leading out the fettered with courage,
likewise the rebellious who dwell in tombs.
67:8God, when You went out before Your people,
when You passed through the wilderness—Diapsalma—
67:9the earth shook, and indeed the heavens dripped
before God—this Sinai—
before the God of Israel.
67:10You will set apart willing rain, God, for Your inheritance;
it grew weak, but You restored it.
67:11Your living creatures dwell in it;
in Your kindness You prepared for the poor, God.
67:12The Lord will give an utterance to those announcing good news with great power,
67:13the king of the powers of the beloved,
and for the beauty of the house to divide spoils.
67:14If you sleep between the allotted portions—
a dove’s wings plated with silver,
and its back in the green sheen of gold. Diapsalma.
67:15When the Heavenly One distinguishes kings upon it,
they will be covered with snow in Selmon.
67:16A mountain of God, a rich mountain;
a curdled mountain, a rich mountain.
67:17Why do you suppose, curdled mountains,
that this is the mountain in which God was pleased to dwell?
For indeed the Lord will dwell to the end.
67:18God’s chariot is ten-thousandfold,
thousands of flourishing ones;
the Lord is among them, in Sinai, in the holy place.
67:19You ascended on high; You took captivity captive;
You received gifts among humankind,
and indeed the disobedient, to establish a dwelling.
Blessed is the Lord God.
67:20Blessed is the Lord day by day;
the God of our salvations will prosper our way. Diapsalma.
67:21Our God is a God of saving,
and to the Lord, the Lord, belong the exits of death.
67:22Nevertheless God will crush His enemies’ heads,
the crown of hair of those walking in their offenses.
67:23The Lord said, “I will return from Bashan;
I will return in the depths of the sea,
67:24so that your foot may be dipped in blood,
and the tongue of your dogs from enemies, from him.”
67:25Your processions were seen, God,
the processions of my God, the King in the holy place.
67:26Rulers went first, closely followed by musicians,
amid young women beating tambourines.
67:27In assemblies bless God,
the Lord, from Israel’s springs.
67:28There is Benjamin, the younger, in ecstasy;
Judah’s rulers, their leaders,
Zebulun’s rulers, Naphtali’s rulers.
67:29Command Your power, God;
strengthen, God, this which You accomplished for us.
67:30From Your sanctuary over Jerusalem,
kings will bring You gifts.
67:31Rebuke the beasts of the reed,
the assembly of bulls among the heifers of peoples,
so that those tested by silver may not be shut out;
scatter nations that desire wars.
67:32Envoys will come from Egypt;
Ethiopia will hasten its hand toward God.
67:33Kingdoms of the earth, sing to God;
make music to the Lord. Diapsalma.
67:34Make music to God, who rides upon the heaven of heaven toward the east;
look, He will give with His voice a voice of power.
67:35Give glory to God;
His magnificence is over Israel,
and His power in the clouds.
67:36Wondrous is God among His holy ones;
the God of Israel will give power and strengthening to His people.
Blessed is God.
