Salmos 68
Bible du Rabbinat (Zadoc Kahn)
1Au chef des chantres. De David. Psaume. Cantique.
2Que Dieu se lève! Que ses ennemis se dispersent, que ceux qui le haïssent s’enfuient crevant sa face!
3Comme s’évanouit, se dissipe la fumée, comme la cire se fond au feu, ainsi périssent les méchants en présence de Dieu!
4Mais que les justes se réjouissent, jubilent devant Dieu, et s’abandonnent à des transports de joie!
5Entonnez des chants à Dieu, célébrez son nom, exaltez Celui qui chevauche dans les hauteurs célestes, Eternel est son nom! et faites éclater votre allégresse devant lui.
6Dans sa sainte résidence, Dieu est le père des orphelins, le défenseur des veuves.
7Dieu donne un foyer à ceux qui vivent solitaires; il rend la liberté avec le bien-être aux prisonniers, mais les rebelles restent confinés dans des régions arides.
8O Dieu, quand tu sortis à la tête de ton peuple, quand tu t’avanças dans les solitudes lugubres, Sélah!
9la terre trembla, les cieux aussi se fondirent à la vue de Dieu, ce Sinaï lui-même, à la vue du Dieu d’Israël.
10Tu fis ruisseler, ô Dieu, une pluie bienfaisante; ainsi toi-même tu restauras ton héritage, si épuisé.
11Tes légions s’y établirent, dans ce domaine que, dans ta bonté, ô Dieu, tu avais préparé pour ces malheureux.
12Le Seigneur fit entendre sa parole, des messages de bonheur en grande quantité:
13"Les rois des armées se sont enfuis, enfuis! Et celle qui garde la maison répartit le butin.
14Resterez-vous immobiles entre les parcs de troupeaux, ô vous, ailes de la colombe, plaquées d’argent, dont les pennes ont la couleur éclatante de l’or fin?
15Quand le Tout-Puissant dispersa les rois, le Çalmon était couvert de neige."
16Montagnes de Dieu, montagnes de Basan, montagnes aux croupes élevées, montagnes de Basan!
17Pourquoi, montagnes aux croupes élevées, pourquoi jalousez-vous la montagne que Dieu a désirée pour sa résidence? Oui, il y demeurera durant toute l’éternité.
18Les chars de Dieu se comptent par myriades et milliers répétés; avec eux le Seigneur se rend sur le Sinaï, dans le Sanctuaire.
19Tu es remonté dans les hauteurs, après avoir fait des prises; tu as reçu des dons parmi les hommes; même des rebelles sont contraints de demeurer près de l’Eternel, près de Dieu.
20Loué soit le Seigneur! Jour par jour il nous accable de ses bienfaits, lui, le Dieu de notre salut. Sélah!
21Le Tout-Puissant est pour nous un Dieu sauveur, grâce à Dieu, notre Seigneur, on échappe à la mort.
22Mais Dieu fracasse la tête de ses ennemis, le crâne chevelu de quiconque suit une voie criminelle.
23Le Seigneur a dit: "De Basan, je ramènerai mon peuple, je le ramènerai des profondeurs de la mer,
24pour que ton pied baigne dans le sang, et que la langue de tes chiens ait sa part dans les dépouilles des ennemis."
25On a vu ta marche triomphale, ô Dieu, la marche de mon Dieu, de mon Roi, en son Sanctuaire.
26En tête sont les chanteurs, puis viennent les joueurs d’instruments, au milieu de jeunes filles battant du tambourin.
27"Dans vos groupes, Bénissez Dieu! Bénissez le Seigneur, vous tous, issus de la source d’Israël!
28Là c’est Benjamin, le plus jeune, qui dirige la procession, les princes de Juda s’avancent avec leurs frondeurs, puis les princes de Zabulon, les princes de Nephtali."
29L’Eternel a décrété ta victoire, c’est un triomphe, ô Dieu, que tu as préparé pour nous.
30De ton sanctuaire, tu veilles sur Jérusalem; à toi les Rois apportent des présents.
31Gourmande la bête tapie dans les joncs, la troupe des puissants taureaux mêlés aux bouvillons des nations, qui viennent s’humilier, munies de lingots d’argent. Dieu disperse les peuples qui aiment les batailles.
32De grands personnages arrivent de l’Egypte; l’Ethiopie tend avidement ses mains vers Dieu.
33O Royaumes de la terre, entonnez des chants à Dieu! Célébrez le Seigneur, Sélah!
34Célébrez Celui qui chevauche les cieux antiques; voici qu’il fait retentir sa voix, une voix formidable.
35Proclamez la puissance de Dieu; sa majesté s’étend sur Israël, et sa force éclate dans les nuées.
36Tu apparais redoutable, ô Dieu, du fond de ton sanctuaire; le Dieu d’Israël octroie force et vigueur au peuple. Que Dieu soit béni!
Reina-Valera 1909
1Al Músico principal: Salmo de David: Canción. LEVÁNTESE Dios, sean esparcidos sus enemigos, y huyan de su presencia los que le aborrecen.
2Como es lanzado el humo, los lanzarás: como se derrite la cera delante del fuego, así perecerán los impíos delante de Dios.
3Mas los justos se alegrarán: gozarse han delante de Dios, y saltarán de alegría.
4Cantad á Dios, cantad salmos á su nombre: ensalzad al que sube sobre los cielos en JAH su nombre, y alegraos delante de él.
5Padre de huérfanos y defensor de viudas, es Dios en la morada de su santuario:
6El Dios que hace habitar en familia los solos; que saca á los aprisionados con grillos: mas los rebeldes habitan en sequedad.
7Oh Dios, cuando tú saliste delante de tu pueblo, cuando anduviste por el desierto, (Selah,)
8La tierra tembló; también destilaron los cielos á la presencia de Dios: aquel Sinaí tembló delante de Dios, del Dios de Israel.
9Abundante lluvia esparciste, oh Dios, á tu heredad; y cuando se cansó, tú la recreaste.
10Los que son de tu grey han morado en ella: por tu bondad, oh Dios, has provisto al pobre.
11El Señor daba palabra: de las evangelizantes había grande ejército.
12Huyeron, huyeron reyes de ejércitos; y las que se quedaban en casa partían los despojos.
13Bien que fuisteis echados entre los tiestos, seréis como las alas de la paloma cubierta de plata, y sus plumas con amarillez de oro.
14Cuando esparció el Omnipotente los reyes en ella, emblanquecióse ésta como la nieve en Salmón.
15Monte de Dios es el monte de Basán; monte alto el de Basán.
16¿Por qué os levantáis, oh montes altos? Este monte amó Dios para su asiento; ciertamente Jehová habitará en él para siempre.
17Los carros de Dios son veinte mil, y más millares de ángeles. El Señor entre ellos, como en Sinaí, así en el santuario.
18Subiste á lo alto, cautivaste la cautividad, tomaste dones para los hombres, y también para los rebeldes, para que habite entre ellos JAH Dios.
19Bendito el Señor; cada día nos colma de beneficios el Dios de nuestra salud. (Selah.)
20Dios, nuestro Dios ha de salvarnos; y de Dios Jehová es el librar de la muerte.
21Ciertamente Dios herirá la cabeza de sus enemigos, la cabelluda mollera del que camina en sus pecados.
22El Señor dijo: De Basán haré volver, te haré volver de los profundos de la mar:
23Porque tu pie se enrojecerá de sangre de tus enemigos, y de ella la lengua de tus perros.
24Vieron tus caminos, oh Dios; los caminos de mi Dios, de mi Rey, en el santuario.
25Los cantores iban delante, los tañedores detrás; en medio, las doncellas con adufes.
26Bendecid á Dios en congregaciones: al Señor, vosotros de la estirpe de Israel.
27Allí estaba el joven Benjamín señoreador de ellos, los príncipes de Judá en su congregación, los príncipes de Zabulón, los príncipes de Nephtalí.
28Tu Dios ha ordenado tu fuerza; confirma, oh Dios, lo que has obrado en nosotros.
29Por razón de tu templo en Jerusalem los reyes te ofrecerán dones.
30Reprime la reunión de gentes armadas, la multitud de toros con los becerros de los pueblos, hasta que todos se sometan con sus piezas de plata: disipa los pueblos que se complacen en la guerra.
31Vendrán príncipes de Egipto; Etiopía apresurará sus manos á Dios.
32Reinos de la tierra, cantad á Dios, cantad al Señor (Selah);
33Al que cabalga sobre los cielos de los cielos que son de antiguo: he aquí á su voz dará voz de fortaleza.
34Atribuid fortaleza á Dios: sobre Israel es su magnificencia, y su poder está en los cielos.
35Terrible eres, oh Dios, desde tus santuarios: el Dios de Israel, él da fortaleza y vigor á su pueblo. Bendito Dios.

King James Version
1Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered: let them also that hate him flee before him.
2As smoke is driven away, so drive them away: as wax melteth before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God.
3But let the righteous be glad; let them rejoice before God: yea, let them exceedingly rejoice.
4Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth upon the heavens by his name Jah, and rejoice before him.
5A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God in his holy habitation.
6God setteth the solitary in families: he bringeth out those which are bound with chains: but the rebellious dwell in a dry land.
7O God, when thou wentest forth before thy people, when thou didst march through the wilderness; Selah:
8The 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.
9Thou, O God, didst send a plentiful rain, whereby thou didst confirm thine inheritance, when it was weary.
10Thy congregation hath dwelt therein: thou, O God, hast prepared of thy goodness for the poor.
11The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that published it.
12Kings of armies did flee apace: and she that tarried at home divided the spoil.
13Though 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.
14When the Almighty scattered kings in it, it was white as snow in Salmon.
15The hill of God is as the hill of Bashan; an high hill as the hill of Bashan.
16Why leap ye, ye high hills? this is the hill which God desireth to dwell in; yea, the LORD will dwell in it for ever.
17The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands of angels: the Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in the holy place.
18Thou 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.
19Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah.
20He that is our God is the God of salvation; and unto GOD the Lord belong the issues from death.
21But God shall wound the head of his enemies, and the hairy scalp of such an one as goeth on still in his trespasses.
22The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will bring my people again from the depths of the sea:
23That thy foot may be dipped in the blood of thine enemies, and the tongue of thy dogs in the same.
24They have seen thy goings, O God; even the goings of my God, my King, in the sanctuary.
25The singers went before, the players on instruments followed after; among them were the damsels playing with timbrels.
26Bless ye God in the congregations, even the Lord, from the fountain of Israel.
27There is little Benjamin with their ruler, the princes of Judah and their council, the princes of Zebulun, and the princes of Naphtali.
28Thy God hath commanded thy strength: strengthen, O God, that which thou hast wrought for us.
29Because of thy temple at Jerusalem shall kings bring presents unto thee.
30Rebuke 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.
31Princes shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall soon stretch out her hands unto God.
32Sing unto God, ye kingdoms of the earth; O sing praises unto the Lord; Selah:
33To him that rideth upon the heavens of heavens, which were of old; lo, he doth send out his voice, and that a mighty voice.
34Ascribe ye strength unto God: his excellency is over Israel, and his strength is in the clouds.
35O 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.

7God, when you went out before your people, when you marched through the wilderness... Selah.
8The earth trembled. The sky also poured down rain at the presence of the God of Sinai— at the presence of God, the God of Israel.
9You, God, sent a plentiful rain. You confirmed your inheritance when it was weary.
10Your congregation lived therein. You, God, prepared your goodness for the poor.
11The Lord announced the word. The ones who proclaim it are a great company.
12“Kings of armies flee! They flee!” She who waits at home divides the plunder,
13while you sleep among the camp fires, the wings of a dove sheathed with silver, her feathers with shining gold.
14When the Almighty scattered kings in her, it snowed on Zalmon.
15The mountains of Bashan are majestic mountains. The mountains of Bashan are rugged.
16Why do you look in envy, you rugged mountains, at the mountain where God chooses to reign? Yes, the LORD will dwell there forever.
17The chariots of God are tens of thousands and thousands of thousands. The Lord is among them, from Sinai, into the sanctuary.
18You have ascended on high. You have led away captives. You have received gifts among people, yes, among the rebellious also, that the LORD God might dwell there.
19Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears our burdens, even the God who is our salvation. Selah.
20God is to us a God of deliverance. To GOD, the Lord, belongs escape from death.
21But God will strike through the head of his enemies, the hairy scalp of such a one as still continues in his guiltiness.
22The Lord said, “I will bring you again from Bashan, I will bring you again from the depths of the sea,
23that you may crush them, dipping your foot in blood, that the tongues of your dogs may have their portion from your enemies.”
24They have seen your processions, God, even the processions of my God, my King, into the sanctuary.
25The singers went before, the minstrels followed after, among the ladies playing with tambourines,
26“Bless God in the congregations, even the Lord in the assembly of Israel!”
27There is little Benjamin, their ruler, the princes of Judah, their council, the princes of Zebulun, and the princes of Naphtali.
28Your God has commanded your strength. Strengthen, God, that which you have done for us.
29Because of your temple at Jerusalem, kings will bring presents to you.
30Rebuke the wild animal of the reeds, the multitude of the bulls with the calves of the peoples. Trample under foot the bars of silver. Scatter the nations who delight in war.
31Princes shall come out of Egypt. Ethiopia shall hurry to stretch out her hands to God.
32Sing to God, you kingdoms of the earth! Sing praises to the Lord—Selah—
33to him who rides on the heaven of heavens, which are of old; behold, he utters his voice, a mighty voice.
34Ascribe strength to God! His excellency is over Israel, his strength is in the skies.
35You are awesome, God, in your sanctuaries. The God of Israel gives strength and power to his people. Praise be to God!
