Psalms 68:16-24 in English

¹⁶ Why look ye askance, ye high mountains, At the mountain which God hath desired for his abode? Yea, Jehovah will dwell in it for ever.

¹⁷ The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands upon thousands: The Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in the sanctuary.

¹⁸ Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led away captives; Thou hast received gifts among men, Yea, among the rebellious also, that Jehovah God might dwell with them.

¹⁹ Blessed be the Lord, who daily beareth our burden, Even the God who is our salvation. Selah

²⁰ God is unto us a God of deliverances; And unto Jehovah the Lord belongeth escape from death.

²¹ But God will smite through the head of his enemies, The hairy scalp of such a one as goeth on still in his guiltiness.

²² The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will bring them again from the depths of the sea;

²³ That thou mayest crush them, dipping thy foot in blood, That the tongue of thy dogs may have its portion from thine enemies.

²⁴ They have seen thy goings, O God, Even the goings of my God, my King, into the sanctuary.

¹⁶ Let not the waterflood drown me, nor let the deep swallow me up; neither let the well shut its mouth upon me.

¹⁷ Hear me, O Lord; for thy mercy is good: according to the multitude of thy compassions look upon me.

¹⁸ And turn not away thy face from thy servant; for I am afflicted: hear me speedily.

¹⁹ Draw nigh to my soul and redeem it: deliver me because of mine enemies.

²⁰ For thou knowest my reproach, and my shame, and my confusion; all that afflict me are before thee.

²¹ My soul has waited for reproach and misery; and I waited for one to grieve with me, but there was none; and for one to comfort me, but I found none.

²² They gave me also gall for my food, and made me drink vinegar for my thirst.

²³ Let their table before them be for a snare, and for a recompence, and for a stumbling-block.

²⁴ Let their eyes be darkened that they should not see; and bow down their back continually.

¹⁶ Why leap ye, ye high hills? this is the hill which God desireth to dwell in; yea, the LORD will dwell in it for ever.

¹⁷ The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands of angels: the Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in the holy place.

¹⁸ Thou 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.

¹⁹ Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah.

²⁰ He that is our God is the God of salvation; and unto GOD the Lord belong the issues from death.

²¹ But God shall wound the head of his enemies, and the hairy scalp of such an one as goeth on still in his trespasses.

²² The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will bring my people again from the depths of the sea:

²³ That thy foot may be dipped in the blood of thine enemies, and the tongue of thy dogs in the same.

²⁴ They have seen thy goings, O God; even the goings of my God, my King, in the sanctuary.

¹⁶ Hear me, O Lord; for your mercy is good: according to the multitude of your compassions look upon me.

¹⁷ And turn not away your face from your servant; for I am afflicted: hear me speedily.

¹⁸ Draw near to my soul and redeem it: deliver me because of my enemies.

¹⁹ For you know my reproach, and my shame, and my confusion; all that afflict me are before you.

²⁰ My soul has waited for reproach and misery; and I waited for one to grieve with me, but there was none; and for one to comfort me, but I found none.

²¹ They gave me also gall for my food, and made me drink vinegar for my thirst.

²² Let their table before them be for a snare, and for a recompense, and for a stumbling block.

²³ Let their eyes be darkened that they should not see; and bow down their back continually.

²⁴ Pour out your wrath upon them, and let the fury of your anger take hold on them.

¹⁶ Why look ye askance, ye high mountains, at the mountain which God hath desired for his abode? yea, the LORD will dwell in it for ever.

¹⁷ The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands upon thousands: the Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in the sanctuary.

²³ That thou mayest dip thy foot in blood, that the tongue of thy dogs may have its portion from thine enemies.

²⁴ They have seen thy goings, O God, even the goings of my God, my King, into the sanctuary.

¹⁶ But the people who live near that mountain should not RHQ envy those who live near Zion, the mountain on which God chose to live! Yahweh will live there forever!

¹⁷ After we defeated all our enemies, it was as though the Lord, surrounded by many thousands of strong chariots, descended from Sinai Mountain and came into the sacred temple in Jerusalem.

¹⁸ He ascended the sacred mountain where his temple is, and took with him many people who had been captured in battles; and received gifts from the enemies whom he had defeated. He received gifts even from those who had rebelled against him, and Yahweh our God will live there in his sacred temple forever.

¹⁹ Praise the Lord, who helps us carry our heavy loads every day; he is the one who saves/rescues us.

²⁰ Our God is the God who saves us; He is Yahweh, our Lord, the one who ◄allows us to escape/prevents us► from being killed in battles.

²¹ But God will smash the heads of his enemies, the skulls of those who continue to behave sinfully.

²² The Lord said, “I will bring back the corpses of those who were killed in Bashan, and I will bring back those who sank deep in the ocean and drowned.

²³ I will do that in order that you may wash your feet in their blood, and your dogs can also lap up some of your enemies' blood.”

²⁴ God, many people see you march triumphantly into your sacred temple, celebrating that you have defeated your enemies. You march like a king does, and a large crowd walks with you.

¹⁶ Hear me, O Lord; for your mercy is good: according to the multitude of your compassions look upon me.

¹⁷ And turn not away your face from your servant; for I am afflicted: hear me speedily.

¹⁸ Draw near to my soul and redeem it: deliver me because of my enemies.

¹⁹ For you know my reproach, and my shame, and my confusion; all that afflict me are before you.

¹⁸ You have gone up on high, taking your prisoners with you; you have taken offerings from men; the Lord God has taken his place on the seat of his power.

¹⁹ Praise be to the Lord, who is our support day by day, even the God of our salvation. (Selah.)

²⁰ Our God is for us a God of salvation; his are the ways out of death.

²¹ The heads of the haters of God will be crushed; even the head of him who still goes on in his evil ways.

²² The Lord said, I will make them come back from Bashan, and from the deep parts of the sea;

²³ So that your foot may be red with blood, and the tongues of your dogs with the same.

²⁴ We see your going, O God: even the going of my God, my King, into the holy place.

¹⁷ The chariots of God are twenty thousand, thousands upon thousands; the Lord is among them: it is a Sinai in holiness.

¹⁸ Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive: thou hast received gifts in Man, and even for the rebellious, for the dwelling there of Jah Elohim.

But thou also receivedest gifts from those who believed not or from those who were rebellious; so that the Lord God might live among them.)
