Psalms 67

¹Unto the end. A Canticle Psalm of David himself.

²May God rise up, and may his enemies be scattered, and may those who hate him flee from before his face.

³Just as smoke vanishes, so may they vanish. Just as wax flows away before the face of fire, so may sinners pass away before the face of God.

⁴And so, let the just feast, and let them exult in the sight of God and be delighted in gladness.

⁵Sing to God, sing a psalm to his name. Make a path for him, who ascends over the west. The Lord is his name. Exult in his sight; they will be stirred up before his face,

⁶the father of orphans and the judge of widows. God is in his holy place.

⁷It is God who makes men dwell in a house under one custom. He leads out those who are strongly bound, and similarly, those who exasperate, who dwell in sepulchers.

⁸O God, when you departed in the sight of your people, when you passed through the desert,

⁹the earth was moved, for the heavens rained down before the face of the God of Sinai, before the face of the God of Israel.

¹⁰You will set aside for your inheritance, O God, a willing rain. And though it was weak, truly, you have made it perfect.

¹¹Your animals will dwell in it. O God, in your sweetness, you have provided for the poor.

¹²The Lord will give the word to evangelizers, along with great virtue.

¹³The King of virtue is beloved among the beloved. And the beauty of the house will divide spoils.

¹⁴If you take your rest in the midst of the clergy, you will be like a dove whose wings are covered with fine silver and edged with pale gold.

¹⁵When heaven discerns kings to be over her, they will be whitened with the snows of Zalmon.

¹⁶The mountain of God is a fat mountain, a dense mountain, a thick mountain.

¹⁷So then, why are you distrustful of dense mountains? The mountain on which God is well pleased to dwell, even there, the Lord will dwell until the end.

¹⁸The chariot of God is ten thousand fold: thousands rejoice. The Lord is with them in Sinai, in the holy place.

¹⁹You have ascended on high; you have taken captivity captive. You have accepted gifts among men. For even those who do not believe dwell with the Lord God.

²⁰Blessed is the Lord, day after day. The God of our salvation will make our journey prosper for us.

²¹Our God is the God who will bring about our salvation, and our Lord is the Lord who has brought an end to death.

²²So then, truly, God will break the heads of his enemies, the hairy skull of those who wander around in their offenses.

²³The Lord said: I will turn them away from Bashan, I will turn them into the depths of the sea,

²⁴so that your feet may be soaked in the blood of your enemies, so that the tongue of your dogs may be soaked with the same.

²⁵O God, they have seen your arrival, the arrival of my God, of my king who is in a holy place.

²⁶The leaders went ahead, united with the singers of psalms, in the midst of girls playing on timbrels.

²⁷In the churches, bless the Lord God from the fountains of Israel.

²⁸In that place, Benjamin is a youth in ecstasy of mind. The leaders of Judah are their governors: the leaders of Zebulun, the leaders of Naphtali.

²⁹Command by your virtue, O God. Confirm in this place, O God, what you have wrought in us.

³⁰Before your temple in Jerusalem, kings will offer gifts to you.

³¹Rebuke the wild beasts of the reeds, a congregation of bulls with the cows of the people, for they seek to exclude those who have been tested like silver. Scatter the nations that are pleased by wars.

³²Ambassadors will come out of Egypt. Ethiopia will offer in advance her hands to God.

³³Sing to God, O kingdoms of the earth. Sing psalms to the Lord. Sing psalms to God.

³⁴He ascends, up to the heaven of the heavens, toward the east. Behold, he will utter his voice, the voice of virtue.

³⁵Give glory to God beyond Israel. His magnificence and his virtue is in the clouds.

³⁶God is wonderful in his saints. The God of Israel himself will give virtue and strength to his people. Blessed is God.

Psalms 67

¹Unto the end, a psalm of a canticle for David himself.

²Let God arise, and let his enemies be scattered: and let them that hate him flee from before his face.

³As smoke vanisheth, so let them vanish away: as wax melteth before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God.

⁴And let the just feast, and rejoice before God: and be delighted with gladness.

⁵Sing ye to God, sing a psalm to his name, make a way for him who ascendeth upon the west: the Lord is his name. Rejoice ye before him: but the wicked shall be troubled at his presence,

⁶Who is the father of orphans, and the judge of widows. God in his holy place:

⁷God who maketh men of one manner to dwell in a house: Who bringeth out them that were bound in strength; in like manner them that provoke, that dwell in sepulchres.

⁸O God, when thou didst go forth in the sight of thy people, when thou didst pass through the desert:

⁹The earth was moved, and the heavens dropped at the presence of the God of Sina, at the presence of the God of Israel.

¹⁰Thou shalt set aside for thy inheritance a free rain, O God: and it was weakened, but thou hast made it perfect.

¹¹In it shall thy animals dwell; in thy sweetness, O God, thou hast provided for the poor.

¹²The Lord shall give the word to them that preach good tidings with great power.

¹³The king of powers is of the beloved, of the beloved; and the beauty of the house shall divide spoils.

¹⁴If 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.

¹⁵When he that is in heaven appointeth kings over her, they shall be whited with snow in Selmon.

¹⁶The mountain of God is a fat mountain. A curdled mountain, a fat mountain.

¹⁷Why suspect, ye curdled mountains? A mountain in which God is well pleased to dwell: for there the Lord shall dwell unto the end.

¹⁸The chariot of God is attended by ten thousands; thousands of them that rejoice: the Lord is among them in Sina, in the holy place.

¹⁹Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive; thou hast received gifts in men. Yea for those also that do not believe, the dwelling of the Lord God.

²⁰Blessed be the Lord day by day: the God of our salvation will make our journey prosperous to us.

²¹Our God is the God of salvation: and of the Lord, of the Lord are the issues from death.

²²But God shall break the heads of his enemies: the hairy crown of them that walk on in their sins.

²³The Lord said: I will turn them from Basan, I will turn them into the depth of the sea:

²⁴That thy foot may be dipped in the blood of thy enemies; the tongue of thy dogs be red with the same.

²⁵They have seen thy goings, O God, the goings of my God: of my king who is in his sanctuary.

²⁶Princes went before joined with singers, in the midst of young damsels playing on timbrels.

²⁷In the churches bless ye God the Lord, from the fountains of Israel.

²⁸There is Benjamin a youth, in ecstasy of mind. The princes of Juda are their leaders: the princes of Zabulon, the princes of Nephthali.

²⁹Command thy strength, O God confirm, O God, what thou hast wrought in us.

³⁰From thy temple in Jerusalem, kings shall offer presents to thee.

³¹Rebuke 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 thou the nations that delight in wars:

³²Ambassadors shall come out of Egypt: Ethiopia shall soon stretch out her hands to God.

³³Sing to God, ye kingdoms of the earth: sing ye to the Lord: Sing ye to God,

³⁴Who mounteth above the heaven of heavens, to the east. Behold he will give to his voice the voice of power:

³⁵Give ye glory to God for Israel, his magnificence, and his power is in the clouds.

³⁶God is wonderful in his saints: the God of Israel is he who will give power and strength to his people. Blessed be God.
