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!

大卫的诗歌。交给圣咏团长。

胜利之歌

¹愿上帝兴起，使他的仇敌四散，
使那恨他的人从他面前逃跑。
²你驱逐他们⚓，如烟被吹散；
恶人见上帝的面就消灭，如蜡被火熔化。
³惟有义人必然欢喜，
在上帝面前快乐，
他们要在喜乐中欢欣。

⁴你们当向上帝唱诗，歌颂他的名；
为那驾车经过旷野的修平道路⚓。
他的名是耶和华，
你们要在他面前欢乐！

⁵上帝在他的圣所作孤儿的父，
作寡妇的伸冤者。
⁶上帝使孤独的有家，
使被囚的出来享福；
惟有悖逆的要住在干旱之地。

⁷上帝啊，当你走在百姓前头，
在旷野行进，（细拉）
⁸地见上帝的面就震动，天也降雨；
西奈山见以色列上帝的面也震动。
⁹上帝啊，你降下大雨；
你的产业以色列疲乏的时候，你使他坚固。
¹⁰你的会众住在境内；
上帝啊，你在恩惠中为困苦人预备所需的。

¹¹主发命令，
传好信息的妇女成了大群：
¹²“统领大军的君王逃跑了，逃跑了！”
在家等候的妇女也分得了掠物。
¹³你们躺卧在羊圈，
好像鸽子的翅膀镀银，翎毛镀金一般。
¹⁴全能者在境内赶散列王的时候，
势如飘雪在撒们。

¹⁵巴珊山是极其宏伟⚓的山，
巴珊山是多峰多岭的山。
¹⁶你们多峰多岭的山哪，
为何以妒忌的眼光看上帝所愿居住的山？
耶和华必住这山，直到永远！

¹⁷上帝的车辇累万盈千；
主在其中，好像在西奈圣山一样。
¹⁸你已经升上高天，掳掠了俘虏；
你在人间，就是在悖逆的人中，受了供献，
使耶和华上帝可以与他们同住。
¹⁹天天背负我们重担的主，
就是拯救我们的上帝，
是应当称颂的！（细拉）
²⁰上帝是为我们施行拯救的上帝；
人能脱离死亡是在乎主─耶和华。

²¹但上帝要打破他仇敌的头，
就是那常犯罪之人的头颅。
²²主说：“我要使百姓从巴珊归来，
使他们从深海转回，
²³好叫你打碎仇敌，使你的脚踹在血中，
使你狗的舌头也有份。”

²⁴上帝啊，你是我的上帝，我的王；
人已经看见你行走，进入圣所。
²⁵歌唱的行在前，作乐的随在后，
都在击鼓的童女中间：
²⁶“从以色列源头而来的啊，
你们当在各会中称颂上帝─耶和华！”
²⁷在那里，有统管他们的小便雅悯，
有犹大的领袖和他们的一群人，
有西布伦的领袖，
有拿弗他利的领袖。

²⁸你的上帝已赐给你力量⚓；
上帝啊，求你坚固你为我们所成全的事！
²⁹因你耶路撒冷的殿，
列王必带贡物献给你。
³⁰求你斥责芦苇中的野兽和公牛群，
并万民中的牛犊。
直到他们带着银块来朝贡⚓；
上帝已经赶散好战的万民⚓。
³¹埃及的使臣要出来，
古实⚓人要急忙向上帝伸出手来。
³²地上的国度啊，你们要向上帝歌唱，
要歌颂主，（细拉）
³³就是那驾行在亘古的诸天之上的主！
听啊，他发出声音，是极大的声音。
³⁴你们要将能力归给上帝；
他的威荣在以色列之上，
他的能力显在天上。
³⁵上帝啊，你从圣所显为可畏，
以色列的上帝是那将力量权能赐给他百姓的。

上帝是应当称颂的！
