Psalms 68:20-25 in English

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.

²⁵ The singers went before, the minstrels followed after, In the midst of the damsels playing with timbrels.

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.

²⁵ Pour out thy wrath upon them, and let the fury of thine anger take hold on them.

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.

²⁵ The singers went before, the players on instruments followed after; among them were the damsels playing with timbrels.

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.

²⁵ The singers went before, the players on instruments followed after; among them were the damsels playing with timbrels.

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.

²⁵ Let their habitation be made desolate; and let there be no inhabitant in their tents:

²⁰ God is unto us a God of deliverances; and unto JEHOVAH the Lord belong the issues from death.

²¹ But God shall smite through the head of his enemies, the hairy scalp of such an 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 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.

²⁵ The singers went before, the minstrels followed after, in the midst of the damsels playing with timbrels.

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.

²⁵ The singers are in front, and the people who play stringed instruments are at the rear, and young women who are beating their tambourines are between them.

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.

²⁵ Let their habitation be made desolate; and let there be no inhabitant in their tents:

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.

²⁵ The makers of songs go before, the players of music come after, among the young girls playing on brass instruments.

²⁰ Our God is the God of salvation; and with Jehovah, the Lord, are the goings forth even from death.

²¹ Verily God will smite the head of his enemies, the hairy scalp of him that goeth on still in his trespasses.

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

²³ That thou mayest dip thy foot in blood: the tongue of thy dogs has its portion from enemies.

²⁵ The singers went before, the players on stringed instruments after, in the midst of maidens playing on tabrets.

²⁰ Thou knowest my reproach, and my confusion, and my shame.

²¹ In thy sight are all they that afflict me; my heart hath expected reproach and misery. And I looked for one that would grieve together with me, but there was none: and for one that would comfort me, and I found none.

²² And they gave me gall for my food, and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.

²³ Let their table become as a snare before them, and a recompense, and a stumblingblock.

²⁴ Let their eyes be darkened that they see not; and their back bend thou down always.

²⁵ Pour out thy indignation upon them: and let thy wrathful anger take hold of them.

²² The Lord says, “I will drag them down from Bashan; I will drag them up from the depths of the sea,

²³ so that you may walk in their blood. Even your dogs will have their share of your enemies.”

²⁴ People watch your processions, God—the processions of my God and King as they go into the Temple.

²⁵ The singers are at the front, the musicians at the back, and in the middle girls playing tambourines.

²⁰ This is our God, euen the God that saueth vs: and to the Lord God belong the issues of death.

²² The Lord hath sayde, I will bring my people againe from Bashan: I will bring them againe from the depths of the Sea:

²³ That thy foote may bee dipped in blood, and the tongue of thy dogges in the blood of the enemies, euen in it.

²⁴ They haue seene, O God, thy goings, the goings of my God, and my King, which art in the Sanctuarie.

²² (68:23) The Lord hath said, From Bashan will I bring back, I will bring back from the depths of the sea:

²³ (68:24) In order that thou mayest wade with thy feet in blood, feeding the tongue of thy dogs from the enemies' blood.

²⁴ (68:25) Men see thy goings forth, O God! the goings forth of my God, my King, into the sanctuary.
