1Al direttore del coro. Di Davide. Salmo. Canto. Si alzi Dio, e i suoi nemici saranno dispersi, e quelli che l’odiano fuggiranno davanti a lui[1].2Tu li dissolverai come si dissolve il fumo; come la cera si scioglie davanti al fuoco, così periranno gli empi davanti a Dio.3Ma i giusti si rallegreranno, trionferanno in presenza di Dio ed esulteranno di gioia.4Cantate a Dio, salmeggiate al suo nome, preparate la via a colui che cavalca attraverso i deserti; il suo nome è il Signore; esultate davanti a lui.5Dio è padre degli orfani e difensore delle vedove nella sua santa dimora;6a quelli che sono soli Dio dà una famiglia, libera i prigionieri e dà loro prosperità; solo i ribelli risiedono in terra arida.7O Dio, quando tu uscisti alla testa del tuo popolo, quando avanzasti attraverso il deserto, [Pausa]8la terra tremò; anche i cieli si sciolsero in pioggia davanti a Dio; lo stesso Sinai tremò davanti a Dio, al Dio d’Israele.9O Dio, tu mandasti una pioggia benefica sulla tua eredità esausta, per ristorarla.10Il tuo popolo abitò nel paese, benevolmente preparato da te, o Dio, per i miseri.11Il Signore dà un ordine: le messaggere di vittoria appaiono in grande schiera.12I re degli eserciti fuggono, fuggono, e quelle che stavano in casa si dividono il bottino.13Anche per voi, rimasti tranquilli fra gli ovili, si coprono d’argento le ali della colomba e d’oro le sue piume.14Quando l’Onnipotente disperse i re nel paese, il Salmon si coperse di neve.15Monti altissimi, monti di Basan, monti dalle cime numerose, monti di Basan,16perché, o monti dalle molte cime, guardate con invidia al monte che Dio ha scelto per sua dimora? Sì, il Signore vi abiterà per sempre.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, portando prigionieri, hai ricevuto doni dagli uomini, anche dai ribelli, per far qui la tua dimora, o Signore, Dio.19Sia benedetto il Signore! Giorno per giorno porta per noi il nostro peso, il Dio della nostra salvezza. [Pausa]20Il nostro Dio è un Dio che libera; Dio, il Signore, ci preserva dalla morte.21Ma Dio schiaccerà il capo dei suoi nemici, la testa chiomata di chi vive nel peccato.22Il Signore ha detto: «Li farò tornare da Basan, li farò tornare dagli abissi del mare,23affinché tu affondi il piede nel sangue dei tuoi nemici, e la lingua dei tuoi cani ne abbia la sua parte».24Essi hanno visto il tuo corteo, o Dio, il corteo del mio Dio, del mio re, nel santuario.25Precedevano i cantori, dietro venivano i suonatori, in mezzo le fanciulle che battevano i tamburelli.26Benedite Dio nelle assemblee, benedite il Signore, voi che siete della stirpe d’Israele!27Ecco il giovane Beniamino, che guida gli altri, i prìncipi di Giuda e la loro schiera, i prìncipi di Zabulon, i prìncipi di Neftali.28Il tuo Dio ha decretato la tua potenza; conferma, o Dio, quanto hai fatto per noi!29Nel tuo tempio, che sovrasta Gerusalemme, i re ti porteranno doni.30Minaccia la bestia dei canneti[2], il branco dei tori[3] con i vitelli dei popoli[4], che si prostrano portando verghe d’argento[5]. Disperdi i popoli che amano la guerra.31Prìncipi verranno dall’Egitto, l’Etiopia si affretterà a tendere le mani verso Dio.32O regni della terra, cantate a Dio, salmeggiate al Signore, [Pausa]33a colui che cavalca sui cieli dei cieli eterni! Ecco, egli fa risuonare la sua voce, la sua voce potente.34Riconoscete la potenza di Dio; la sua maestà è sopra Israele, e la sua potenza è nei cieli.35O Dio, tu sei tremendo dal tuo santuario! Il Dio d’Israele dà forza e potenza al suo popolo. Benedetto sia Dio!
1Dem Chorleiter. Von David. Ein Psalm. Ein Lied.2Gott wird sich erheben, es werden sich zerstreuen seine Feinde, und die ihn hassen, werden fliehen vor seinem Angesicht. (Nu 10,35)3Wie Rauch auseinandergetrieben wird, so treibst du ⟨sie⟩ auseinander; wie Wachs vor dem Feuer zerschmilzt, so werden die Gottlosen umkommen vor dem Angesicht Gottes. (Sal 37,20; Sal 75,4)4Aber freuen werden sich die Gerechten, sie werden jauchzen vor dem Angesicht Gottes und jubeln in Freude. (Sal 5,12; Sal 16,11; Sal 97,11)5Singt Gott, spielt seinem Namen! Macht Bahn[1] dem, der einherfährt durch die Wüsten. Jah[2] ist sein Name, und jubelt vor ihm! (Eso 3,15; Sal 118,19; Sal 150,6; Is 12,4)6Ein Vater der Waisen und ein Richter der Witwen ist Gott in seiner heiligen Wohnung. (Sal 10,14)7Gott ist es, der Einsame zu Hause wohnen lässt, Gefangene hinausführt ins Glück; Widerspenstige jedoch bleiben in der Dürre. (Sal 107,34; Sal 146,7; Is 61,1)8Gott, als du auszogst vor deinem Volk, als du einherschrittest durch die Wüste, // (Eso 13,18)9bebte die Erde, auch troff der Himmel vor Gott, dem vom Sinai, vor Gott, dem Gott Israels. (Giudic 5,4; Eb 12,26)10Reichlich Regen gießt du aus, Gott; dein Erbteil – wenn es ermattet war, hast du es wieder aufgerichtet. (Sal 65,10; Is 40,29)11Deine Schar ist darin sesshaft geworden; du sorgst in deiner Güte für den Elenden, Gott!12Der Herr erlässt einen Ausspruch: »Siegesbotinnen, eine große Schar!«13Die Könige der Heere fliehen, sie fliehen! Und ⟨auf der⟩ Stätte des Hauses verteilt ⟨man⟩ Beute[3]: (Nu 31,27; Gios 10,16)14– Wollt ihr zwischen den Hürden liegen?[4] – Die Flügel einer Taube, mit Silber überzogen und ihre Schwungfedern mit grüngelbem Gold.15Wenn der Allmächtige Könige im Land[5] zerstreut, schneit es auf dem Zalmon. (Giudic 9,48)16Ein Berg Gottes ist der Berg Baschans, ein gipfelreicher Berg ist der Berg Baschans.17Warum lauert ihr neidisch, ihr gipfelreichen Berge, auf den Berg, den Gott zu seinem Wohnsitz begehrt hat? Ja, der HERR wird ⟨dort⟩ wohnen für immer. (Sal 9,12; Is 2,2)18Der Wagen Gottes sind zehntausendmal Tausende – Erhabenheit!; der Herr[6] ist unter ihnen, Sinai im Heiligtum[7].19Du bist hinaufgestiegen zur Höhe, du hast Gefangene gefangen weggeführt, hast Gaben empfangen bei den Menschen; und sogar Widerspenstige ⟨sind bereit⟩, sich Jah, Gott, zu unterwerfen. (Ef 4,8)20Gepriesen sei der Herr Tag für Tag! Er trägt für uns ⟨Last⟩, Gott ist unsere Rettung. // (Eso 15,2)21Gott ist uns ein Gott der Rettungen, und bei dem HERRN, dem Herrn, ⟨stehen⟩ die Auswege vom Tod. (Sal 91,3; Is 12,2)22Gewiss, Gott wird zerschmettern das Haupt seiner Feinde, den Haarscheitel dessen, der da wandelt in seinen Verschuldungen. (Sal 110,6)23Der Herr sprach: »Ich werde zurückbringen aus Baschan, zurückbringen aus den Tiefen des Meeres, (Am 9,3)24damit du deinen Fuß in Blut badest[8], die Zunge deiner Hunde von den Feinden ihr Teil habe.«25Gesehen haben sie deine Umzüge[9], Gott, die Umzüge meines Gottes, meines Königs, ins[10] Heiligtum. (Sal 63,3; Sal 77,14)26Voran gingen Sänger, danach Saitenspieler, inmitten Tamburin schlagender Mädchen. (Eso 15,20; Sal 87,7)27»Preist Gott in Versammlungen, den HERRN[11], die ihr aus dem Quell Israels seid!« (Sal 26,12; Is 48,1)28Da sind Benjamin, der Jüngste, ihr Herrscher, die Obersten Judas, ihre lärmende Menge; die Obersten Sebulons, die Obersten Naftalis. (Giudic 4,10; 1Sam 9,21)29[12] Entbiete, Gott[13], deine Macht, Gottes Macht, die du für uns gewirkt hast (Fili 1,6)30von deinem Tempel über Jerusalem[14]! Könige werden dir Geschenke bringen. (Sal 72,10; Zac 8,22)31Schilt[15] das Tier des Schilfs, die Schar der Starken mit den Kälbern der Völker; tritt denen entgegen[16], die nach Silber rennen[17]. Zerstreue[18] die Völker, die Lust haben am Krieg!32Es werden kommen Bronzesachen[19] aus Ägypten; Äthiopien soll seine Hände ausstrecken[20] zu Gott. (Is 19,21)33Ihr Königreiche der Erde, singt Gott, spielt dem Herrn, // (Sal 66,1)34ihm, der einherfährt auf dem Himmel, dem Himmel der Vorzeit! Siehe, er lässt seine Stimme erschallen, eine mächtige Stimme. (De 33,26; Sal 29,4)35Gebt Gott Macht! Seine Hoheit ist über Israel und seine Macht in den Wolken. (De 33,26; Sal 29,1; Mat 24,30)36Furchtbar ⟨bist du⟩, Gott, aus deinen Heiligtümern[21] her. Der Gott Israels, er ist es, der Stärke und Kraft gibt dem Volk. Gepriesen sei Gott! (Sal 29,11; Sal 66,3; 2Co 1,3)
1To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. A Song. God shall arise, his enemies shall be scattered; and those who hate him shall flee before him! (Nu 10,35; Sal 89,10; Sal 92,9; Is 33,3)2As smoke is driven away, so you shall drive them away; as wax melts before fire, so the wicked shall perish before God! (Sal 22,14; Sal 37,20; Sal 97,5; Mi 1,4)3But the righteous shall be glad; they shall exult before God; they shall be jubilant with joy! (Sal 32,11)4Sing to God, sing praises to his name; lift up a song to him who rides through the deserts; his name is the Lord; exult before him! (Sal 18,10; Sal 66,4; Sal 68,33; Sal 89,8; Is 40,3; Is 62,10)5Father of the fatherless and protector of widows is God in his holy habitation. (De 10,18; Sal 10,14)6God settles the solitary in a home; he leads out the prisoners to prosperity, but the rebellious dwell in a parched land. (1Sam 2,5; Sal 68,18; Sal 69,33; Sal 107,10; Sal 107,14; Sal 107,33; Sal 107,40; Sal 113,9; Sal 146,7; At 12,7; At 16,26)7O God, when you went out before your people, when you marched through the wilderness, (Eso 13,21; Giudic 4,14; Giudic 5,4; Sal 78,40; Abac 3,13; Zac 14,3)8the earth quaked, the heavens poured down rain, before God, the One of Sinai, before God,[1] the God of Israel. (Eso 19,18; Giudic 5,4)9Rain in abundance, O God, you shed abroad; you restored your inheritance as it languished; (Sal 65,9)10your flock[2] found a dwelling in it; in your goodness, O God, you provided for the needy. (Sal 65,9; Sal 78,20)11The Lord gives the word; the women who announce the news are a great host: (Eso 15,20; 1Sam 18,6; Sal 33,9)12“The kings of the armies—they flee, they flee!” The women at home divide the spoil— (Nu 31,8; Gios 10,16; Gios 12,7; Giudic 5,19; Giudic 5,30; Sal 110,5)13though you men lie among the sheepfolds— the wings of a dove covered with silver, its pinions with shimmering gold. (Gen 49,14; Giudic 5,16)14When the Almighty scatters kings there, let snow fall on Zalmon. (Giudic 9,48)15O mountain of God, mountain of Bashan; O many-peaked[3] mountain, mountain of Bashan!16Why do you look with hatred, O many-peaked mountain, at the mount that God desired for his abode, yes, where the Lord will dwell forever? (De 12,5; Sal 78,54; Sal 87,1; Sal 132,13)17The chariots of God are twice ten thousand, thousands upon thousands; the Lord is among them; Sinai is now in the sanctuary. (2Re 6,17; Abac 3,8)18You ascended on high, leading a host of captives in your train and receiving gifts among men, even among the rebellious, that the Lord God may dwell there. (Eso 29,45; Giudic 5,12; Sal 7,7; Sal 47,5; Sal 78,60; Giov 14,23; At 1,9; At 2,4; At 2,33; Ro 5,8; Ef 4,8; 1Ti 1,13; Ap 21,3)19Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears us up; God is our salvation. (Is 46,4)20Our God is a God of salvation, and to God, the Lord, belong deliverances from death. (De 32,39; Ec 7,18; Ap 1,18)21But God will strike the heads of his enemies, the hairy crown of him who walks in his guilty ways. (Sal 110,6; Abac 3,13)22The Lord said, “I will bring them back from Bashan, I will bring them back from the depths of the sea, (Nu 21,33; Am 9,2)23that you may strike your feet in their blood, that the tongues of your dogs may have their portion from the foe.” (1Re 21,19; 1Re 22,38; Sal 58,10)24Your procession is[4] seen, O God, the procession of my God, my King, into the sanctuary—25the singers in front, the musicians last, between them virgins playing tambourines: (Eso 15,20; Giudic 11,34; 1Cr 13,8; 1Cr 15,16; Sal 33,3; Sal 47,5)26“Bless God in the great congregation, the Lord, O you[5] who are of Israel’s fountain!” (De 33,28; Sal 22,25; Sal 26,12; Is 48,1; Is 51,1)27There is Benjamin, the least of them, in the lead, the princes of Judah in their throng, the princes of Zebulun, the princes of Naphtali. (Giudic 5,18; 1Sam 9,21)28Summon your power, O God,[6] the power, O God, by which you have worked for us. (Sal 42,8)29Because of your temple at Jerusalem kings shall bear gifts to you. (1Re 10,10; 1Re 10,25; 2Cr 32,23; Sal 45,12; Sal 76,11; Is 18,7)30Rebuke the beasts that dwell among the reeds, the herd of bulls with the calves of the peoples. Trample underfoot those who lust after tribute; scatter the peoples who delight in war.[7] (2Sam 8,2; 2Sam 8,6; Giob 40,21; Sal 22,12; Is 19,6; Ez 29,3; Ez 32,2)31Nobles shall come from Egypt; Cush shall hasten to stretch out her hands to God. (Sal 44,20; Sal 87,4; Is 19,19; Is 19,21; Is 45,14; So 3,10)32O kingdoms of the earth, sing to God; sing praises to the Lord, (Sal 102,22)33to him who rides in the heavens, the ancient heavens; behold, he sends out his voice, his mighty voice. (De 10,14; De 33,26; 1Re 8,27; Sal 18,10; Sal 29,4; Sal 46,6; Sal 104,3)34Ascribe power to God, whose majesty is over Israel, and whose power is in the skies. (Sal 29,1; Sal 36,5; Sal 57,10; Sal 108,4; Sal 150,1)35Awesome is God from his[8] sanctuary; the God of Israel—he is the one who gives power and strength to his people. Blessed be God! (Sal 29,11; Sal 47,2; Sal 65,5; Sal 110,2; Is 40,29)
Salmo 68
King James Version
1To the chief Musician, A Psalm or Song of David. Let 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.
