Psalm 68 – Studienbibel

1 To the chief Musician5329, A Psalm4210 or Song7892 of David1732. Let God430 arise6965, let his enemies341 be scattered6327: let them also that hate8130 him flee5127 before6440 him.¹ 2 As smoke6227 is driven away5086, so drive them away5086: as wax1749 melteth4549 before6440 the fire784, so let the wicked7563 perish6 at the presence6440 of God430. 3 But let the righteous6662 be glad8055; let them rejoice5970 before6440 God430: yea, let them exceedingly8057 rejoice7797.² 4 Sing7891 unto God430, sing praises2167 to his name8034: extol5549 him that rideth7392 upon the heavens6160 by his name8034 JAH3050, and rejoice5937 before6440 him. 5 A father1 of the fatherless3490, and a judge1781 of the widows490, is God430 in his holy6944 habitation4583. 6 God430 setteth3427 the solitary3173 in families1004: he bringeth out3318 those which are bound615 with chains3574: but the rebellious5637 dwell7931 in a dry6707 land.³

7 O God430, when thou wentest forth3318 before6440 thy people5971, when thou didst march6805 through the wilderness3452; Selah5542: 8 The earth776 shook7493, the heavens8064 also dropped5197 at the presence6440 of God430: even Sinai5514 itself2088 was moved at the presence6440 of God430, the God430 of Israel3478. 9 Thou, O God430, didst send5130 a plentiful5071 rain1653, whereby thou didst confirm3559 thine inheritance5159, when it was weary3811.⁴⁵ 10 Thy congregation2416 hath dwelt3427 therein: thou, O God430, hast prepared3559 of thy goodness2896 for the poor6041. 11 The Lord136 gave5414 the word562: great7227 was the company6635 of those that published1319 it.⁶ 12 Kings4428 of armies6635 did flee5074 apace5074: and she that tarried5116 at home1004 divided2505 the spoil7998.⁷ 13 Though ye have lien7901 among the pots8240, yet shall ye be as the wings3671 of a dove3123 covered2645 with silver3701, and her feathers84 with yellow3422 gold2742. 14 When the Almighty7706 scattered6566 kings4428 in it, it was white as snow7949 in Salmon6756.⁸

15 The hill2022 of God430 is as the hill2022 of Bashan1316; an high1386 hill2022 as the hill2022 of Bashan1316. 16 Why leap7520 ye, ye high1386 hills2022? this is the hill2022 which God430 desireth2530 to dwell in3427; yea, the LORD3068 will dwell7931 in it for ever5331. 17 The chariots7393 of God430 are twenty thousand7239, even thousands505 of angels8136: the Lord136 is among them, as in Sinai5514, in the holy6944 place.⁹ 18 Thou hast ascended5927 on high4791, thou hast led captivity7628 captive7617: thou hast received3947 gifts4979 for men120; yea, for the rebellious5637 also, that the LORD3050 God430 might dwell7931 among them.¹⁰ 19 Blessed1288 be the Lord136, who daily3117 3117 loadeth6006 us with benefits, even the God410 of our salvation3444. Selah5542. [Eph 4,8] 20 He that is our God410 is the God410 of salvation4190; and unto GOD3069 the Lord136 belong the issues8444 from death4194. 21 But God430 shall wound4272 the head7218 of his enemies341, and the hairy8181 scalp6936 of such an one as goeth on still1980 in his trespasses817.

22 The Lord136 said559, I will bring again7725 from Bashan1316, I will bring my people again7725 from the depths4688 of the sea3220: 23 That thy foot7272 may be dipped4272 in the blood1818 of thine enemies341, and the tongue3956 of thy dogs3611 in the same.¹¹ 24 They have seen7200 thy goings1979, O God430; even the goings1979 of my God410, my King4428, in the sanctuary6944. 25 The singers7891 went before6923, the players on instruments5059 followed after310; among8432 them were the damsels5959 playing with timbrels8608. 26 Bless1288 ye God430 in the congregations4721, even the Lord136, from the fountain4726 of Israel3478.¹² 27 There is little6810 Benjamin1144 with their ruler7287, the princes8269 of Judah3063 and their council7277, the princes8269 of Zebulun2074, and the princes8269 of Naphtali5321.¹³ 28 Thy God430 hath commanded6680 thy strength5797: strengthen5810, O God430, that which2098 thou hast wrought6466 for us. 29 Because of thy temple1964 at Jerusalem3389 shall kings4428 bring2986 presents7862 unto thee. 30 Rebuke1605 the company2416 of spearmen7070, the multitude5712 of the bulls47, with the calves5695 of the people5971, till every one submit7511 himself with pieces7518 of silver3701: scatter967 thou the people5971 that delight2654 in war7128.¹⁴¹⁵ 31 Princes2831 shall come out857 of Egypt4714; Ethiopia3568 shall soon stretch out7323 her hands3027 unto God430.

32 Sing7891 unto God430, ye kingdoms4467 of the earth776; O sing praises2167 unto the Lord136; Selah5542: 33 To him that rideth7392 upon the heavens8064 of heavens8064, which were of old6924; lo, he doth send out5414 his voice6963, and that a mighty5797 voice6963.¹⁶ 34 Ascribe5414 ye strength5797 unto God430: his excellency1346 is over Israel3478, and his strength5797 is in the clouds7834.¹⁷ 35 O God430, thou art terrible3372 out of thy holy places4720: the God410 of Israel3478 is he that giveth5414 strength5797 and power8592 unto his people5971. Blessed1288 be God430.
