Salmos 68
Riveduta 1927
1Al Capo de’ musici. Di Davide. Salmo. Canto. Lèvisi Iddio, e i suoi nemici saranno dispersi, e quelli che l’odiano fuggiranno dinanzi a lui.
2Tu li dissiperai come si dissipa il fumo; come la cera si strugge dinanzi al fuoco, così periranno gli empi dinanzi a Dio.
3Ma i giusti si rallegreranno, esulteranno nel cospetto di Dio, e gioiranno con letizia.
4Cantate a Dio, salmeggiate al suo nome, preparate la via a colui che cavalca attraverso i deserti; il suo nome è: l’Eterno, ed esultate dinanzi a lui.
5Padre degli orfani e difensore delle vedove è Iddio nella dimora della sua santità;
6Iddio dona al solitario una famiglia, trae fuori i prigionieri e dà loro prosperità; solo i ribelli dimorano in terra arida.
7O Dio, quando tu uscisti davanti al tuo popolo, quando ti avanzasti attraverso il deserto, Sela.
8la terra tremò; anche i cieli si strussero in pioggia per la presenza di Dio; lo stesso Sinai tremò alla presenza di Dio, dell’Iddio d’Israele.
9O Dio, tu spandesti una pioggia di benefizi sulla tua eredità; quand’essa era sfinita, tu la ristorasti.
10La tua greggia prese dimora nel paese, che tu avevi, o Dio, preparato nella tua bontà pei miseri.
11Il Signore dà un ordine: le messaggere di buone novelle sono una grande schiera.
12I re degli eserciti fuggono, fuggono, e la rimasta a casa divide le spoglie.
13Quando vi siete riposati tra gli ovili, le ali della colomba si son coperte d’argento, e le sue penne hanno preso il giallo dell’oro.
14Quando l’Onnipotente disperse i re nel paese, lo Tsalmon si coperse di neve.
15O monte di Dio, o monte di Basan, o monte dalle molte cime, o monte di Basan,
16perché, o monti dalle molte cime, guardate con invidia al monte che Dio s’è scelto per sua dimora? Sì, l’Eterno vi abiterà in perpetuo.
17I carri di Dio si contano a miriadi e miriadi, a migliaia di migliaia; il Signore viene dal Sinai nel santuario.
18Tu sei salito in alto, hai menato in cattività dei prigioni, hai preso doni dagli uomini, anche dai ribelli, per far quivi la tua dimora, o Eterno Iddio.
19Sia benedetto il Signore! Giorno per giorno porta per noi il nostro peso; egli ch’è l’Iddio della nostra salvezza. Sela.
20Iddio è per noi l’Iddio delle liberazioni; e all’Eterno, al Signore, appartiene il preservar dalla morte.
21Ma Dio schiaccerà il capo de’ suoi nemici, la testa chiomata di colui che cammina nelle sue colpe.
22Il Signore ha detto: Io ti ritrarrò da Basan, ti ritrarrò dalle profondità del mare,
23affinché tu affondi il tuo piè nel sangue, e la lingua de’ tuoi cani abbia la sua parte de’ tuoi nemici.
24Essi han veduto la tua entrata, o Dio, l’entrata del mio Dio, del mio Re, nel santuario.
25Precedevano i cantori, dietro venivano i sonatori, in mezzo alle fanciulle, che battevano i tamburi.
26Benedite Iddio nelle raunanze, benedite il Signore, voi che siete della fonte d’Israele!
27Ecco il piccolo Beniamino, che domina gli altri; i principi di Giuda e la loro schiera, i principi di Zabulon, i principi di Neftali.
28Il tuo Dio ha ordinato la tua forza; rafferma, o Dio, ciò che hai operato per noi!
29Nel tuo tempio, ch’è sopra Gerusalemme, i re ti recheranno doni.
30Minaccia la bestia de’ canneti, la moltitudine de’ tori coi giovenchi de’ popoli, che si prostrano recando verghe d’argento. Dissipa i popoli che si dilettano in guerre.
31Gran signori verranno dall’Egitto, l’Etiopia s’affretterà a tender le mani verso Dio.
32O regni della terra, cantate a Dio, salmeggiate al Signore, Sela.
33a colui che cavalca sui cieli dei cieli eterni! Ecco, egli fa risonar la sua voce, la sua voce potente.
34Riconoscete la potenza di Dio; la sua maestà è sopra Israele, e la sua potenza è ne’ cieli.
35O Dio, tu sei tremendo dai tuoi santuari! L’Iddio d’Israele è quel che dà forza e potenza al suo popolo. Benedetto sia Iddio!
Reina-Valera 1909
1Al Músico principal: Salmo de David: Canción. LEVÁNTESE Dios, sean esparcidos sus enemigos, y huyan de su presencia los que le aborrecen.
2Como es lanzado el humo, los lanzarás: como se derrite la cera delante del fuego, así perecerán los impíos delante de Dios.
3Mas los justos se alegrarán: gozarse han delante de Dios, y saltarán de alegría.
4Cantad á Dios, cantad salmos á su nombre: ensalzad al que sube sobre los cielos en JAH su nombre, y alegraos delante de él.
5Padre de huérfanos y defensor de viudas, es Dios en la morada de su santuario:
6El Dios que hace habitar en familia los solos; que saca á los aprisionados con grillos: mas los rebeldes habitan en sequedad.
7Oh Dios, cuando tú saliste delante de tu pueblo, cuando anduviste por el desierto, (Selah,)
8La tierra tembló; también destilaron los cielos á la presencia de Dios: aquel Sinaí tembló delante de Dios, del Dios de Israel.
9Abundante lluvia esparciste, oh Dios, á tu heredad; y cuando se cansó, tú la recreaste.
10Los que son de tu grey han morado en ella: por tu bondad, oh Dios, has provisto al pobre.
11El Señor daba palabra: de las evangelizantes había grande ejército.
12Huyeron, huyeron reyes de ejércitos; y las que se quedaban en casa partían los despojos.
13Bien que fuisteis echados entre los tiestos, seréis como las alas de la paloma cubierta de plata, y sus plumas con amarillez de oro.
14Cuando esparció el Omnipotente los reyes en ella, emblanquecióse ésta como la nieve en Salmón.
15Monte de Dios es el monte de Basán; monte alto el de Basán.
16¿Por qué os levantáis, oh montes altos? Este monte amó Dios para su asiento; ciertamente Jehová habitará en él para siempre.
17Los carros de Dios son veinte mil, y más millares de ángeles. El Señor entre ellos, como en Sinaí, así en el santuario.
18Subiste á lo alto, cautivaste la cautividad, tomaste dones para los hombres, y también para los rebeldes, para que habite entre ellos JAH Dios.
19Bendito el Señor; cada día nos colma de beneficios el Dios de nuestra salud. (Selah.)
20Dios, nuestro Dios ha de salvarnos; y de Dios Jehová es el librar de la muerte.
21Ciertamente Dios herirá la cabeza de sus enemigos, la cabelluda mollera del que camina en sus pecados.
22El Señor dijo: De Basán haré volver, te haré volver de los profundos de la mar:
23Porque tu pie se enrojecerá de sangre de tus enemigos, y de ella la lengua de tus perros.
24Vieron tus caminos, oh Dios; los caminos de mi Dios, de mi Rey, en el santuario.
25Los cantores iban delante, los tañedores detrás; en medio, las doncellas con adufes.
26Bendecid á Dios en congregaciones: al Señor, vosotros de la estirpe de Israel.
27Allí estaba el joven Benjamín señoreador de ellos, los príncipes de Judá en su congregación, los príncipes de Zabulón, los príncipes de Nephtalí.
28Tu Dios ha ordenado tu fuerza; confirma, oh Dios, lo que has obrado en nosotros.
29Por razón de tu templo en Jerusalem los reyes te ofrecerán dones.
30Reprime la reunión de gentes armadas, la multitud de toros con los becerros de los pueblos, hasta que todos se sometan con sus piezas de plata: disipa los pueblos que se complacen en la guerra.
31Vendrán príncipes de Egipto; Etiopía apresurará sus manos á Dios.
32Reinos de la tierra, cantad á Dios, cantad al Señor (Selah);
33Al que cabalga sobre los cielos de los cielos que son de antiguo: he aquí á su voz dará voz de fortaleza.
34Atribuid fortaleza á Dios: sobre Israel es su magnificencia, y su poder está en los cielos.
35Terrible eres, oh Dios, desde tus santuarios: el Dios de Israel, él da fortaleza y vigor á su pueblo. Bendito Dios.
King James Version
1Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered: let them also that hate him flee before him.
2As smoke is driven away, so drive them away: as wax melteth before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God.
3But let the righteous be glad; let them rejoice before God: yea, let them exceedingly rejoice.
4Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth upon the heavens by his name Jah, and rejoice before him.
5A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God in his holy habitation.
6God setteth the solitary in families: he bringeth out those which are bound with chains: but the rebellious dwell in a dry land.
7O God, when thou wentest forth before thy people, when thou didst march through the wilderness; Selah:
8The 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.
9Thou, O God, didst send a plentiful rain, whereby thou didst confirm thine inheritance, when it was weary.
10Thy congregation hath dwelt therein: thou, O God, hast prepared of thy goodness for the poor.
11The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that published it.
12Kings of armies did flee apace: and she that tarried at home divided the spoil.
13Though 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.
14When the Almighty scattered kings in it, it was white as snow in Salmon.
15The hill of God is as the hill of Bashan; an high hill as the hill of Bashan.
16Why leap ye, ye high hills? this is the hill which God desireth to dwell in; yea, the LORD will dwell in it for ever.
17The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands of angels: the Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in the holy place.
18Thou 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.
19Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah.
20He that is our God is the God of salvation; and unto GOD the Lord belong the issues from death.
21But God shall wound the head of his enemies, and the hairy scalp of such an one as goeth on still in his trespasses.
22The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will bring my people again from the depths of the sea:
23That thy foot may be dipped in the blood of thine enemies, and the tongue of thy dogs in the same.
24They have seen thy goings, O God; even the goings of my God, my King, in the sanctuary.
25The singers went before, the players on instruments followed after; among them were the damsels playing with timbrels.
26Bless ye God in the congregations, even the Lord, from the fountain of Israel.
27There is little Benjamin with their ruler, the princes of Judah and their council, the princes of Zebulun, and the princes of Naphtali.
28Thy God hath commanded thy strength: strengthen, O God, that which thou hast wrought for us.
29Because of thy temple at Jerusalem shall kings bring presents unto thee.
30Rebuke the company of spearmen, the multitude of the bulls, with the calves of the people, till every one submit himself with pieces of silver: scatter thou the people that delight in war.
31Princes shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall soon stretch out her hands unto God.
32Sing unto God, ye kingdoms of the earth; O sing praises unto the Lord; Selah:
33To him that rideth upon the heavens of heavens, which were of old; lo, he doth send out his voice, and that a mighty voice.
34Ascribe ye strength unto God: his excellency is over Israel, and his strength is in the clouds.
35O God, thou art terrible out of thy holy places: the God of Israel is he that giveth strength and power unto his people. Blessed be God.

7God, when you went out before your people, when you marched through the wilderness... Selah.
8The earth trembled. The sky also poured down rain at the presence of the God of Sinai— at the presence of God, the God of Israel.
9You, God, sent a plentiful rain. You confirmed your inheritance when it was weary.
10Your congregation lived therein. You, God, prepared your goodness for the poor.
11The Lord announced the word. The ones who proclaim it are a great company.
12“Kings of armies flee! They flee!” She who waits at home divides the plunder,
13while you sleep among the camp fires, the wings of a dove sheathed with silver, her feathers with shining gold.
14When the Almighty scattered kings in her, it snowed on Zalmon.
15The mountains of Bashan are majestic mountains. The mountains of Bashan are rugged.
16Why do you look in envy, you rugged mountains, at the mountain where God chooses to reign? Yes, the LORD will dwell there forever.
17The chariots of God are tens of thousands and thousands of thousands. The Lord is among them, from Sinai, into the sanctuary.

19Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears our burdens, even the God who is our salvation. Selah.

22The Lord said, “I will bring you again from Bashan, I will bring you again from the depths of the sea,
23that you may crush them, dipping your foot in blood, that the tongues of your dogs may have their portion from your enemies.”

26“Bless God in the congregations, even the Lord in the assembly of Israel!”
27There is little Benjamin, their ruler, the princes of Judah, their council, the princes of Zebulun, and the princes of Naphtali.
28Your God has commanded your strength. Strengthen, God, that which you have done for us.
29Because of your temple at Jerusalem, kings will bring presents to you.
30Rebuke the wild animal of the reeds, the multitude of the bulls with the calves of the peoples. Trample under foot the bars of silver. Scatter the nations who delight in war.
31Princes shall come out of Egypt. Ethiopia shall hurry to stretch out her hands to God.
32Sing to God, you kingdoms of the earth! Sing praises to the Lord—Selah—
33to him who rides on the heaven of heavens, which are of old; behold, he utters his voice, a mighty voice.
