Psalm 67 — The Holy Bible

For the End; a psalm of an ode; by David.

Let God arise, and let His enemies be scattered,

And let those who hate Him flee from before His face.

As smoke vanishes, so let them vanish;

As wax melts before the fire,

So let the sinners perish from the face of God.

And let the righteous be glad;

Let them greatly rejoice before God;

Let them be glad with merriment.

Sing to God; sing to His name;

Make ready the way for Him

Who rides upon the sunset;

His name is the Lord;

And greatly rejoice before Him.

Let them be troubled before His face,

He who is the father of orphans and the judge of widows;

God is in His holy place.

God settles the solitary in a house;

With courage He leads out those in bondage,

Likewise those who rebel, who dwell in tombs.

O God, when You went forth before Your people,

When You passed through the desert,

(Pause)

The earth shook; truly the heavens let the rain fall,

Before the face of the God of Sinai,

Before the face of the God of Israel.

You, O God, willingly grant rain to Your inheritance,

And it was weakened, but You restored it.

Your creatures are dwelling in it;

In Your goodness, O God, You provide for the poor.

The Lord will give His word

To those proclaiming the gospel with great power,

He who is the King of hosts of the beloved,

That He may divide the booty for the beauty of the house.

If you fall asleep in the midst of your portions,

You will have the wings of a dove, all covered with silver,

And her back with yellow gold.

(Pause)

When the heavenly One appoints kings over it,

They shall become as white as the snow on Zalmon.

The mountain of God is a fertile mountain,

A mountain richly curdled with milk, a fat mountain.

Why do you think about other mountains richly curdled with milk?

This is the mountain God consented to dwell in;

Truly the Lord will lodge in it to the end.

God's chariot is ten thousand-fold,

Thousands abounding in numbers;

The Lord is among them at Sinai in the holy place.

You ascended on high, You led captivity captive;

You received gifts for mankind,

Truly for the disobedient, so they may dwell there.

The Lord God is blessed;

Blessed is the Lord from day to day;

The God of our salvation will bring prosperity upon us.

(Pause)

Our God is the God who saves us,

And the issues of death belong to the Lord's Lord.

But God will crush the heads of His enemies,

The hairy head of those who continue in their transgressions.

The Lord said, “I will return from Bashan;

I will return in the depths of the sea,

So your foot may be dipped in blood,

The tongue of your dogs in the blood of your enemies.”

Your processionals were seen, O God,

The processionals of my God and my King in the holy place.

The rulers drew near, singers followed after;

In the midst of them came young maidens playing timbrels.

Bless God in the churches,

The Lord from the fountains of Israel.

There is the young Benjamin in ecstasy;

The rulers of Judea are their leaders,

The rulers of Zebulun and Naphtali.

Give command, O God, to Your power;

Strengthen, O God, what You accomplished in us.

Because of Your temple at Jerusalem,

Kings will bring gifts to You.

Rebuke the wild beasts of the reed,

The herd of bulls among the heifers of the peoples,

Lest they shut out those proven in silver;

Scatter the nations that desire wars.

Ambassadors shall come out of Egypt;

Ethiopia shall draw near to stretch out its hand to God.

Sing to God, you kingdoms of the earth, sing to the Lord.

(Pause)

Sing to God, who rides upon the heaven of heavens towards the east;

Behold, He will speak with His voice, a voice of power.

Give glory to God;

His magnificence is over Israel,

And His power is in the clouds.

God is wondrous in His saints;

The God of Israel shall give power and strength to His people.

Blessed is God.
