Psalms 68:6-19 in English

⁶ God setteth the solitary in families: He bringeth out the prisoners into prosperity; But the rebellious dwell in a parched land.

⁷ O God, when thou wentest forth before thy people, When thou didst march through the wilderness; Selah

⁸ The earth trembled, The heavens also dropped rain at the presence of God: Yon Sinai trembled at the presence of God, the God of Israel.

⁹ Thou, O God, didst send a plentiful rain, Thou didst confirm thine inheritance, when it was weary.

¹⁰ Thy congregation dwelt therein: Thou, O God, didst prepare of thy goodness for the poor.

¹¹ The Lord giveth the word: The women that publish the tidings are a great host.

¹² Kings of armies flee, they flee; And she that tarrieth at home divideth the spoil.

¹³ When ye lie among the sheepfolds, It is as the wings of a dove covered with silver, And her pinions with yellow gold.

¹⁴ When the Almighty scattered kings therein, It was as when it snoweth in Zalmon.

¹⁵ A mountain of God is the mountain of Bashan; A high mountain is the mountain of Bashan.

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

⁶ O God, thou knowest my foolishness; and my transgressions are not hidden from thee.

⁷ Let not them that wait on thee, O Lord of hosts, be ashamed on my account: let not them that seek thee, be ashamed on my account, O God of Israel.

⁸ For I have suffered reproach for thy sake; shame has covered my face.

⁹ I became strange to my brethren, and a stranger to my mother's children.

¹⁰ For the zeal of thine house has eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me.

¹¹ And I bowed down my soul with fasting, and that was made my reproach.

¹² And I put on sackcloth for my covering; and I became a proverb to them.

¹³ They that sit in the gate talked against me, and they that drank wine sang against me.

¹⁴ But I will cry to thee, O Lord, in my prayer; O God, it is a propitious time: in the multitude of thy mercy hear me, in the truth of thy salvation.

¹⁵ Save me from the mire, that I stick not in it: let me be delivered from them that hate me, and from the deep waters.

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.

⁶ God setteth the solitary in families: he bringeth out those which are bound with chains: but the rebellious dwell in a dry land.

⁷ O God, when thou wentest forth before thy people, when thou didst march through the wilderness; Selah:

⁸ The 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.

⁹ Thou, O God, didst send a plentiful rain, whereby thou didst confirm thine inheritance, when it was weary.

¹⁰ Thy congregation hath dwelt therein: thou, O God, hast prepared of thy goodness for the poor.

¹¹ The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that published it.

¹² Kings of armies did flee apace: and she that tarried at home divided the spoil.

¹³ Though 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.

¹⁴ When the Almighty scattered kings in it, it was white as snow in Salmon.

¹⁵ The hill of God is as the hill of Bashan; an high hill as the hill of Bashan.

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.

⁶ Let not them that wait on you, O Lord of hosts, be ashamed on my account: let not them that seek you, be ashamed on my account, O God of Israel.

⁷ For I have suffered reproach for your sake; shame has covered my face.

⁸ I became strange to my brethren, and a stranger to my mother's children.

⁹ For the zeal of your house has eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproached you are fallen upon me.

⁶ For those who have no one to live with, he provides families to live with. He frees prisoners and enables them to be successful, but those who rebel against him will be forced to live in a very hot and dry land.

⁷ God, you led your people out of Egypt, and then you marched with them through the desert.

⁸ After you did that, because when you, the God worshiped by us Israeli people, appeared to us at Sinai Mountain,, the earth shook, and rain poured down from the sky.

⁹ You caused plenty of rain to fall on your land*, and so you enabled good crops to grow again on the land that you gave to us Israelis.

¹⁰ Your people built homes there; and because you were good to them, you provided food for those who were poor.

¹¹ The Lord gave a message, and many women took that message to other places.

¹² They proclaimed, “Many kings and their armies are running away from our army!” When our army brought back to their homes the things that they captured, the women who were at home divided up those things among themselves and among their families.

¹³ Even those women who were in the pens taking care of the sheep received some of those things; they got statues of doves whose wings were covered with silver and whose feathers were covered with pure yellow gold.

¹⁴ When Almighty God scattered the enemy kings and their armies, the number of weapons that they abandoned there seemed like there had been a snowstorm on Zalmon (OR, a black) Mountain.

¹⁵ There is a very high mountain in the Bashan region, a mountain which has many peaks.

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.

⁶ Let not them that wait on you, O Lord of hosts, be ashamed on my account: let not them that seek you, be ashamed on my account, O God of Israel.

⁷ For I have suffered reproach for your sake; shame has covered my face.

⁸ I became strange to my brethren, and a stranger to my mother's children.

⁹ For the zeal of your house has eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproached you are fallen upon me.

¹⁰ And I bowed down my soul with fasting, and that was made my reproach.

¹¹ And I put on sackcloth for my covering; and I became a proverb to them.

¹² They that sit in the gate talked against me, and they that drank wine sang against me.

¹³ But I will cry to you, O Lord, in my prayer; O God, it is a propitious time: in the multitude of your mercy hear me, in the truth of your salvation.

¹⁴ Save me from the mire, that I stick not in it: let me be delivered from them that hate me, and from the deep waters.

¹⁵ Let not the waterflood drown me, nor let the deep swallow me up; neither let the well shut its mouth upon me.

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.

⁶ God sets the lonely in families. He brings out the prisoners with singing, but the rebellious dwell in a sun-scorched land.

¹⁰ Your congregation lived therein. You, God, prepared your goodness for the poor.

¹³ while you sleep among the camp fires, the wings of a dove sheathed with silver, her feathers with shining gold.

¹⁴ When the Almighty scattered kings in her, it snowed on Zalmon.

¹⁵ The mountains of Bashan are majestic mountains. The mountains of Bashan are rugged.

⁶ Those who are without friends, God puts in families; he makes free those who are in chains; but those who are turned away from him are given a dry land.

⁷ O God, when you went out before your people, wandering through the waste land; (Selah.)

⁸ The earth was shaking and the heavens were streaming, because God was present; even Sinai itself was moved before God, the God of Israel.

⁹ You, O God, did freely send the rain, giving strength to the weariness of your heritage.

¹⁰ Those whose resting-place was there, even the poor, were comforted by your good things, O God.

¹¹ The Lord gives the word; great is the number of the women who make it public.

¹² Kings of armies quickly go in flight: and the women in the houses make a division of their goods.

¹³ Will you take your rest among the flocks? like the wings of a dove covered with silver, and its feathers with yellow gold.

¹⁴ When the Most High put the kings to flight, it was as white as snow in Salmon.

¹⁵ A hill of God is the hill of Bashan; a hill with high tops is the hill of Bashan.

¹⁶ Why are you looking with envy, you high hills, on the hill desired by God as his resting-place? truly, God will make it his house for ever.

¹⁷ The war-carriage of God is among Israel's thousands; the Lord has come from Sinai to the holy place.

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.)

⁶ God maketh the solitary into families; those that were bound he bringeth out into prosperity: but the rebellious dwell in a parched land.

⁷ O God, when thou wentest forth before thy people, when thou didst march through the wilderness — (Selah) —

⁸ The earth trembled, the heavens also dropped at the presence of God, yon Sinai, at the presence of God, the God of Israel.

⁹ Thou, O God, didst pour a plentiful rain upon thine inheritance, and when it was weary thou strengthenedst it.

¹⁰ Thy flock hath dwelt therein: thou hast prepared in thy goodness, for the afflicted, O God!

¹¹ The Lord gives the word: great the host of the publishers.

¹² Kings of armies flee; they flee, and she that tarrieth at home divideth the spoil.

¹³ Though ye have lain among the sheepfolds, ye shall be as wings of a dove covered with silver, and her feathers with green gold.

¹⁴ When the Almighty scattered kings in it, it became snow-white as Zalmon.

¹⁵ As mount Bashan is the mount of God, a many-peaked mountain, as mount Bashan.

¹⁶ Why do ye look with envy, ye many-peaked mountains, upon the mount that God hath desired for his abode? yea, Jehovah will dwell there for ever.

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.

¹⁹ Blessed be the Lord: day by day doth he load us with good, the God who is our salvation. Selah.

⁶ O God, thou knowest my foolishness; and my offences are not hidden from thee:

⁷ Let not them be ashamed for me, who look for thee, O Lord, the Lord of hosts. Let them not be confounded on my account, who seek thee, O God of Israel.

⁸ Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; shame hath covered my face.

⁹ I am become a stranger to my brethren, and an alien to the sons of my mother.

¹⁰ For the zeal of thy house hath eaten me up: and the reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me.

¹¹ And I covered my soul in fasting: and it was made a reproach to me.

¹² And I made haircloth my garment: and I became a byword to them.

¹³ They that sat in the gate spoke against me: and they that drank wine made me their song.

¹⁴ But as for me, my prayer is to thee, O Lord; for the time of thy good pleasure, O God. In the multitude of thy mercy hear me, in the truth of thy salvation.

¹⁵ Draw me out of the mire, that I may not stick fast: deliver me from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters.

¹⁶ Let not the tempest of water drown me, nor the deep swallow me up: and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me.

¹⁷ Hear me, O Lord, for thy mercy is kind; look upon me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies.

¹⁸ And turn not away thy face from thy servant: for I am in trouble, hear me speedily.

¹⁹ Attend to my soul, and deliver it: save me because of my enemies.

⁶ God gives those who are abandoned a family to live with. He sets prisoners free with celebration. But those who rebel live in a desert wasteland.

⁷ God, when you led your people out, when you marched through the desert, Selah,

⁸ the earth quaked, and the heavens shook before God, the one of Sinai; before God, the God of Israel.

⁹ You sent plenty of rain to water the promised land; refreshing it when it was dry.

¹⁰ Your people settled there, and because of your kindness, God, you looked after the poor. Selah.

¹¹ The Lord gives the command, and a great army of women spread the good news.

¹² The kings of the foreign armies are quick to run away, and the women who stayed at home divide the plunder!

¹³ Why are you staying at home? There are ornaments in the shape of a dove with wings of silver and feathers of fine gold to be taken.

¹⁴ The Almighty scattered the foreign kings like a snowstorm on Mount Zalmon.

¹⁵ “Mountain of God,” Mount Bashan, with your many high peaks, Mount Bashan,

¹⁶ why do you look enviously, mountain with many peaks, at the mountain God chose as his home, where the Lord will live forever?

¹⁷ God's chariots can't be counted; there are thousands and thousands of them. He comes among them from Sinai into his Temple.

¹⁸ As you ascended to your high throne you led a procession of prisoners. You received gifts from the people, even from those who had rebelled against the home of the Lord God.

¹⁹ May the Lord be blessed, for every day he carries our burdens. God is our salvation. Selah.

⁶ God maketh the solitarie to dwell in families, and deliuereth them that were prisoners in stocks: but the rebellious shall dwell in a dry land.

⁷ O God, when thou wentest forth before thy people: when thou wentest through the wildernesse, (Selah)

⁸ The earth shooke, and the heauens dropped at the presence of this God: euen Sinai was moued at the presence of God, euen the God of Israel.

⁹ Thou, O God, sendest a gracious raine vpon thine inheritance, and thou didest refresh it when it was wearie.

¹⁰ Thy Congregation dwelled therein: for thou, O God, hast of thy goodnesse prepared it for the poore.

¹³ Though ye haue lien among pots, yet shall ye be as the winges of a doue that is couered with siluer, and whose fethers are like yelowe golde.

¹⁴ When the Almightie scattered Kings in it, it was white as the snowe in Zalmon.

¹⁵ The mountaine of God is like the mountaine of Bashan: it is an high Mountaine, as mount Bashan.

¹⁶ Why leape ye, ye high mountaines? as for this Mountaine, God deliteth to dwell in it: yea, the Lord will dwell in it for euer.

¹⁷ The charets of God are twentie thousande thousand Angels, and the Lord is among them, as in the Sanctuarie of Sinai.

¹⁸ Thou art gone vp on high: thou hast led captiuitie captiue, and receiued giftes for men: yea, euen the rebellious hast thou led, that the Lord God might dwell there.

¹⁹ Praysed be the Lord, euen the God of our saluation, which ladeth vs dayly with benefites. Selah.

⁶ (68-7) God maketh the solitary to dwell in a house; He bringeth out the prisoners into prosperity; the rebellious dwell but in a parched land.

⁷ (68-8) O God, when Thou wentest forth before Thy people, when Thou didst march through the wilderness; Selah

⁷ Let not them that wait on thee, O Lord of hosts, be ashamed on my account: let not them that seek thee, be ashamed on my account, O God of Israel.

⁸ For I have suffered reproach for thy sake; Shame has covered my face.

⁹ I became strange to my brethren, And a stranger to my mother’s children.

¹⁰ For the zeal of thy house has eaten me up; And the reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me.

¹¹ And I bowed down my soul with fasting, And that was made my reproach.

¹² And I put on sackcloth for my covering; And I became a proverb to them.

¹³ They that sit in the gate talked against me, And they that drank wine sang against me.

¹⁷ The chariots of God are twice ten thousand: the Lord came from Sinai, his holy place.

¹² Kings of hosts flee utterly away, And a female inhabitant of the house apportioneth spoil.

¹³ Though ye do lie between two boundaries, Wings of a dove covered with silver, And her pinions with yellow gold.

¹⁴ When the Mighty spreadeth kings in it, It doth snow in Salmon.

¹⁵ A hill of God is the hill of Bashan, A hill of heights is the hill of Bashan.

¹⁶ Why do ye envy, O high hills, The hill God hath desired for His seat? Jehovah also doth tabernacle for ever.

¹⁷ The chariots of God are myriads, thousands of changes, The Lord is among them, in Sinai, in the sanctuary.

¹⁸ Thou hast ascended on high, Thou hast taken captive captivity, Thou hast taken gifts for men, That even the refractory may rest, O Jah God.

¹⁹ Blessed is the Lord, day by day He layeth on us. God Himself is our salvation. Selah.
