Psalms - Chapter 67

Passage

To the end, a psalm of a canticle for David himself. Let God arise, and let his enemies be scattered: and let them that hate him flee from before his face. As smoke vanishes, so let them vanish away: as wax melts before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God. And let the just feast, and rejoice before God: and be delighted with gladness. Sing you to God, sing a psalm to his name, make a way for him who ascends upon the west: the Lord is his name. Rejoice you before him: but the wicked shall be troubled at his presence, Who is the father of orphans, and the judge of widows. God in his holy place: God who makes men of one manner to dwell in a house: Who brings out them that were bound in strength; in like manner them that provoke, that dwell in tombs. O God, when you did go forth in the sight of your people, when you did pass through the desert: The earth was moved, and the heavens dropped at the presence of the God of Sina, at the presence of the God of Israel. You shall set aside for your inheritance a free rain, O God: and it was weakened, but you have made it perfect. In it shall your animals dwell; in your sweetness, O God, you have provided for the poor. The Lord shall give the word to them that preach good tidings with great power. The king of powers is of the beloved, of the beloved; and the beauty of the house shall divide spoils. If you sleep among the midst of lots, you shall be as the wings of a dove covered with silver, and the hinder parts of her back with the paleness of gold. When he that is in heaven appoints kings over her, they shall be whited with snow in Selmon. The mountain of God is a fat mountain. A curdled mountain, a fat mountain. Why suspect, you curdled mountains? A mountain in which God is well pleased to dwell: for there the Lord shall dwell to the end. The chariot of God is attended by ten thousands; thousands of them that rejoice: the Lord is among them in Sina, in the holy place. You have ascended on high, you have led captivity captive; you have received gifts in men. Yea for those also that do not believe, the dwelling of the Lord God. Blessed be the Lord day by day: the God of our salvation will make our journey prosperous to us. Our God is the God of salvation: and of the Lord, of the Lord are the issues from death. But God shall break the heads of his enemies: the hairy crown of them that walk on in their sins. The Lord said: I will turn them from Basan, I will turn them into the depth of the sea: That your foot may be dipped in the blood of your enemies; the tongue of your dogs be red with the same. They have seen your goings, O God, the goings of my God: of my king who is in his sanctuary. Princes went before joined with singers, in the midst of young girls playing on timbrels. In the churches bless you God the Lord, from the fountains of Israel. There is Benjamin a youth, in ecstasy of mind. The princes of Juda are their leaders: the princes of Zabulon, the princes of Nephthali. Command your strength, O God confirm, O God, what you have wrought in us. From your temple in Jerusalem, kings shall offer presents to you. Rebuke the wild beasts of the reeds, the congregation of bulls with the kine of the people; who seek to exclude them who are tried with silver. Scatter the nations that delight in wars: Ambassadors shall come out of Egypt: Ethiopia shall soon stretch out her hands to God. Sing to God, you kingdoms of the earth: sing you to the Lord: Sing you to God, Who mounts above the heaven of heavens, to the east. Behold he will give to his voice the voice of power: Give you glory to God for Israel, his magnificence, and his power is in the clouds. God is wonderful in his saints: the God of Israel is he who will give power and strength to his people. Blessed be God.
