Psalm 68: Honduras

26 Psalms 68
¹Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered; let those who hate him also flee before him.
²As smoke is driven away, so let them vanish; as wax melts before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God.
³But let the righteous be glad; let them be valiant in the sight of God; yes, let them rejoice in his pleasure.

⁴Sing to God, sing praises to his name; extol him who rides on the skies; Yahvah is his name, rejoice before him.
⁵A father of the fatherless, and a judge of widows, is God in his holy habitation.
⁶God sets the solitary child in families; he triumphantly releases those who are bound with chains; but the rebellious live in waste places.

⁷God, when you went forth before your people, when you marched through the wilderness,
⁸the land shook, the skies also lowered at the presence of God; even Sinai itself, was moved at the presence of God, the God of Israel.
⁹You, God, sent a plentiful rain, through which you confirmed your inheritance, when it was weary.
¹⁰Your living creatures have lived in it; you, God, have provided from your goodness for the poor.
¹¹Master will give good news with great power.
¹²Then the kings of armies will be defeated; and the house of God will divide the spoil.
¹³Though you sleep among thorns, yet you will be protected, as the wings of a dove covered with silver, and her feathers with yellow gold.

¹⁴When Almighty appointed a king over Zion, it became white like snow,
¹⁵over Salmon, the mountain of God, over the mountains of Bashan and over the mountain ridges.
¹⁶What do you want, mountains of Bashan? This is the ridge which God desires to live in; yes, Yahvah will live in it forever.
¹⁷God rides with the host of angels; Master is among them, as in Sinai, in his holy place.
¹⁸You have ascended on high, you have carried away captives; you have blessed men with gifts; but rebellious men will not live before the presence of God.

¹⁹Blessed be Master, for he has chosen us as his heritage, even the God of our salvation.
²⁰He that is our God, is the God of salvation, Yahvah God, who has the power of life and death.
²¹But God will sever the head of his enemies, and the hairy scalp of the head of those who persist in their sins.
²²Master said, I will rescue my people from the cliffs, I will bring my people from the depths of the sea;
²³that your foot will be dipped in the blood of your enemies, and the tongue of your dogs in the same.

²⁴They have seen your paths, God, even the paths of my God and my holy King.
²⁵The princes went before, the singers followed after; among them, were the maidens playing with timbrels.
²⁶Bless God in the congregations, even Yahvah, you who are of the fountain of Israel.
²⁷There is little Benjamin with their ruler, the princes of Judah and their governors, the princes of Zebulun, and the princes of Naphtali.

²⁸Command, God, your strength; strengthen, God, what you have worked for us.
²⁹Out of your house at Jerusalem will kings bring presents to you.
³⁰Rebuke the wild animals of the marshes, the multitude of the wild bulls, the idols of the Gentiles which are covered with silver; scatter the people who delight in war.
³¹Ambassadors will come out of Egypt; Cush will soon stretch out her hands to God.

³²Sing to God, you kingdoms of the land; sing praises to Master.
³³To him who rides on the skies of skies; out of the east he gives his voice, and that a mighty voice.
³⁴Ascribe glory to God; his excellency is over Israel and his strength is in the skies.
³⁵God, you are honored out of your holy place; the God of Israel is he that gives strength and power to his people. Blessed be God.
