The Glory of God in His Goodness to Israel
To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. A Song.
1Let ⚓God arise,
Let His enemies be scattered;
Let those also who hate Him flee before Him.
2⚓As smoke is driven away,
So drive them away;
⚓As wax melts before the fire,
So let the wicked perish at the presence of God.
3But ⚓let the righteous be glad;
Let them rejoice before God;
Yes, let them rejoice exceedingly.
4Sing to God, sing praises to His name;
⚓Extol Him who rides on the clouds,
⚓By His name Yah,
And rejoice before Him.
5⚓A father of the fatherless, a defender of widows,
Is God in His holy habitation.
6⚓God sets the solitary in families;
⚓He brings out those who are bound into prosperity;
But ⚓the rebellious dwell in a dry land.
7O God, ⚓when You went out before Your people,
When You marched through the wilderness,
Selah
8The earth shook;
The heavens also dropped rain at the presence of God;
Sinai itself was moved at the presence of God, the God of Israel.
9⚓You, O God, sent a plentiful rain,
Whereby You confirmed Your inheritance,
When it was weary.
10Your congregation dwelt in it;
⚓You, O God, provided from Your goodness for the poor.
11The Lord gave the word;
Great was the company of those who proclaimed it:
12“Kings⚓ of armies flee, they flee,
And she who remains at home divides the spoil.
13⚓Though you lie down among the sheepfolds,
⚓You will be like 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 Zalmon.
15A mountain of God is the mountain of Bashan;
A mountain of many peaks is the mountain of Bashan.
16Why do you fume with envy, you mountains of many peaks?
⚓This is the mountain which God desires to dwell in;
Yes, the Lord will dwell in it forever.
17⚓The chariots of God are twenty thousand,
Even thousands of thousands;
The Lord is among them as in Sinai, in the Holy Place.
18⚓You have ascended on high,
⚓You have led captivity captive;
⚓You have received gifts among men,
Even from⚓the rebellious,
⚓That the Lord God might dwell there.
19Blessed be the Lord,
Who daily loads us with benefits,
The God of our salvation!
Selah
20Our God is the God of salvation;
And ⚓to God the Lord belong escapes from death.
21But ⚓God will wound the head of His enemies,
⚓The hairy scalp of the one who still goes on in his trespasses.
22The Lord said, “I will bring ⚓back from Bashan,
I will bring them back ⚓from the depths of the sea,
23⚓That your foot may crush them in blood,
⚓And the tongues of your dogs may have their portion from your enemies.”
24They have seen Your procession, O God,
The procession of my God, my King, into the sanctuary.
25⚓The singers went before, the players on instruments followed after;
Among them were the maidens playing timbrels.
26Bless God in the congregations,
The Lord, from ⚓the fountain of Israel.
27⚓There is little Benjamin, their leader,
The princes of Judah and their company,
The princes of Zebulun and the princes of Naphtali.
28Your God has ⚓commanded your strength;
Strengthen, O God, what You have done for us.
29Because of Your temple at Jerusalem,
⚓Kings will bring presents to You.
30Rebuke the beasts of the reeds,
⚓The herd of bulls with the calves of the peoples,
Till everyone⚓submits himself with pieces of silver.
Scatter the peoples who delight in war.
31⚓Envoys will come out of Egypt;
⚓Ethiopia will quickly ⚓stretch out her hands to God.
32Sing to God, you ⚓kingdoms of the earth;
Oh, sing praises to the Lord,
Selah
33To Him ⚓who rides on the heaven of heavens, which were of old!
Indeed, He sends out His voice, a ⚓mighty voice.
34⚓Ascribe strength to God;
His excellence is over Israel,
And His strength is in the clouds.
35O God, ⚓You are more awesome than Your holy places.
The God of Israel is He who gives strength and power to His people.
Blessed be God!

Sau rau tus thawj coj hu nkauj. Yog Davi zaj nkauj. Yog zaj nkauj hu.
1Thov Vajtswv sawv tsees,

2Tej pa ncho raug raws ya tag mus li cas,

3Thov cia cov neeg ncaj ncees xyiv fab,

4Cia li hu nkauj rau Vajtswv,

cia li tsa suab hu nkauj rau tus uas caij huab.
Nws lub npe yog Yawmsaub,

5Vajtswv uas nyob hauv
nws lub chaw dawb huv
nws ua cov menyuam uas
tsis muaj txiv leej txiv,
thiab tuav cov poj ntsuam txojcai.
6Vajtswv pub cov uas tsis muaj vag muaj tse
tau vaj tau tsev nyob,
nws tso cov uas raug kaw
tawm los nyob kaj siab hlo,
tiamsis cov uas fav xeeb
nyob hauv lub tebchaws uas qhuav nkig nkuav.
7Au Vajtswv, thaum koj coj koj haiv neeg mus,
thaum koj mus hauv tebchaws moj sab qhua,
8lub ntiajteb ntseeg nkaws,
lub ntuj tso nag los
tab meeg Vajtswv xubntiag,
yog Vajtswv ntawm lub roob Xinai,
uas yog Yixayee tus Vajtswv.
9Au Vajtswv, koj tso nag los heev thoob plaws.
Thaum koj qub txeeg qub teg qaug zog,
koj txhawb kom rov muaj zog.
10Koj pab yaj los nyob rau hauv.
Au Vajtswv, vim koj ua zoo
koj thiaj pub rau cov uas txom nyem.
11Tus Tswv hais nws tej lus,
mas cov uas coj xov zoo coob kawg li,
12hais tias, “Tej vajntxwv thiab lawv tej tub rog
khiav lawm, lawv khiav tag lawm.”
Cov pojniam uas nyob hauv tsev
kuj muab tej qhov txhia chaw
uas txeeb tau los faib.
13Txawm yog nej cov uas
pw hauv nruab nrab tej nkuaj yaj,
los nej tau moj zeej nquab taug

plaub tis luam tseem kub.
14Thaum tus uas muaj hwjchim loj kawg nkaus
ua rau tej vajntxwv khiav ua sab ua sua,
mas daus xib daus npu tau los

15Lub roob uas muaj
hwjchim loj hauv Npasas 'e,
lub roob uas muaj ntau lub ncov
hauv Npasas tebchaws 'e,
16lub roob uas muaj ntau lub ncov 'e,
ua li cas koj yuav saib ua khib siab tsawv
rau lub roob uas Vajtswv xaiv cia
ua nws lub chaw nyob,
uas yog lub chaw uas Yawmsaub yuav nyob
mus ib txhis?
17Tus Tswv tuaj ntawm Xinai tuaj
rau hauv lub chaw dawb huv
muaj tsheb ua rog khov kho
qas txhiab qas vam lub nrog nws ua ke.
18Koj nce rau saum lub roob siab,
coj cov uas ntes tau nrog koj mus
thiab txais tej tshav ntuj ntawm tej neeg,
txawm yog cov uas fav xeeb los kuj pub thiab,
kom koj uas yog Vajtswv Yawmsaub
thiaj los nyob qhov ntawd.
19Cia li qhuas tus Tswv⚓
uas niaj hnub ris peb lub nra.⚓
Vajtswv yog peb txojkev cawm dim.
20Peb tus Vajtswv
yog tus Vajtswv uas cawm dim.
Qhov uas dim kev tuag
nyob ntawm Vajtswv Yawmsaub.
21Vajtswv yuav tsoo nws cov yeeb ncuab
lub taubhau kom tawg,
yog cov uas taug txojkev txhaum
lub tiaj taubhau uas muaj plaubhau ntev.
22Yawmsaub hais tias,
“Kuv yuav coj lawv rov ntawm Npasas los,
kuv yuav coj lawv
tawm hauv qab hiavtxwv los,
23kom nej txhais kotaw
thiaj tau kwm lawv cov ntshav
thiab nej cov dev tus nplaig
thiaj tau yaim tej tshawj chim cov ntshav.”
24Au Vajtswv, koj cov neeg
ua tsheej ib pab tshwm plaws tuaj lawm,
yog kuv tus Vajtswv
uas yog kuv tus vajntxwv pab neeg,
nkag rau hauv qhov chaw uas pe hawm koj.
25Cov uas hu nkauj mus ua ntej,
cov uas ntaus nkauj nog ncas
ua tom qab kawg,
cov hluas nkauj npuaj nruas ntxhias
tuaj nruab nrab.
26Nej uas yog Yixayee cov noob 'e,
cia li qhuas Vajtswv,
cia li qhuas Yawmsaub rau thaum
cov neeg coob coob tuaj txoos ua ke.
27Xeem Npeeyamee
uas yog pab tsawg dua tej mus ua ntej,
Yuda cov thawj uas nyob ua tej pab coob coob
thiab Xenpuloo cov thawj
thiab Nathali cov thawj mus raws qab.
28Au Vajtswv, thov koj npaj koj lub hwjchim los.
Au Vajtswv, thov koj ua koj lub zog tshwm los
ib yam li koj twb ua pab peb los lawm.
29Vim yog muaj koj lub tuam tsev
hauv Yeluxalees
mas tej vajntxwv thiaj coj tshav ntuj
tuaj pub rau koj.
30Thov koj txwv tej tsiaj qus
uas nyob hauv tej hav tauj deg,
yog pab txiv nyuj thiab cov menyuam nyuj
uas yog ib tsoom neeg,
mus txog thaum lawv txo hwjchim
es coj nyiaj daim tuaj pub rau koj.
Thov koj ua rau cov neeg uas nyiam ua rog
khiav ua sab ua sua tag.⚓
31Thov cia lawv coj tej tooj liab
hauv Iyi tebchaws los,
cia Khuj⚓ tebchaws maj tsa tes rau Vajtswv.
32Ib tsoom tebchaws hauv ntiajteb 'e,
cia li hu nkauj rau Vajtswv,
cia li hu nkauj qhuas tus Tswv,
33yog tus uas caij cov huab saum ntuj
uas yeej nyob ib txhiab ib txhis los.
Mloog maj, nws xa nws lub suab tawm mus,
yog lub suab uas muaj hwjchim loj.
34Cia li qhuas tias Vajtswv muaj hwjchim,
nws hwjchim meej mom nyob saum cov Yixayee,
nws lub hwjchim nyob saum nruab ntug.
35Vajtswv nyob hauv lub chaw uas pe nws
mas txaus ntshai kawg,
nws yog cov Yixayee tus Vajtswv,
nws pub nws lub zog thiab nws lub hwjchim
rau nws haiv neeg.
Cia li qhuas Vajtswv.
