68:1  (For the one directing. Of Dovid. Mizmor. Shir.) Let Elohim arise, let His oyevim be scattered; let them also that hate Him flee before Him.
68:2  As ashan (smoke) is blown away, so drive them away; as wax melteth before the eish, so let the resha’im perish at the presence of Elohim.
68:3  But let the tzaddikim have simchah; let them rejoice before Elohim; and, let them rejoice with simchah.
68:4  Sing unto Elohim, sing praises to Shmo; extol Him that rideth on the clouds by Shmo Hashem, and rejoice before Him.

68:6  Elohim setteth the yechidim (alone ones) in a family; He bringeth out those which are asirim (prisoners, those bound with chains); but the sorerim (rebels) dwell in a dry land.
68:7  O Elohim, when Thou wentest forth before Thy people, when Thou didst march through the wilderness; Selah;
68:8  Eretz shook, Shomayim also poured rain at the presence of Elohim; even Sinai itself was moved at the presence of Elohim, Elohei Yisroel.
68:9  Thou, O Elohim, didst send a plentiful geshem (rain), whereby Thou didst restore Thine nachalah, when it was parched.
68:10  Thy congregation hath dwelt therein; Thou, O Elohim, hast prepared of Thy bounty for the oni.
68:11  Adonoi gave the word; rav (great) was the tzava (company, army) of the mevaserot (heralds, those that published it, the lady evangelists).
68:12  Melachim of tzeva’ot (armies) shall flee, they flee; and she that tarried at home shall divide the plunder.
68:13  Though ye have lain among the cooking pots, yet shall ye be as the wings of a yonah covered with kesef, and her feathers with glistening gold.
68:14  When Shaddai scattered melachim therein, it was white as snow in Tzalmon.
68:15  The Har Elohim is the Har Bashan; a mountain of peaks is the Har Bashan.
68:16  Why gaze ye in envy, ye many-peaked harim? This is the har which Elohim hath chosen to dwell in; indeed, Hashem will dwell in it lanetzach (forever).
68:17  The merkavot of Elohim are myriads, a thousand thousands; Adonoi is among them, as in Sinai, in kodesh (holiness).
68:18  Thou hast ascended on marom (high), Thou hast led captivity captive; Thou hast received mattanot among adam; yes, even from the sorerim (the rebellious) also, that Hashem Elohim might dwell [there].
68:19  Baruch Adonoi, Who yom yom bears us up, even HaEl Yeshuateinu (the G-d of our salvation). Selah.
68:20  Our G-d is a G-d who saves; and from Hashem Adonoi come escapes from mavet (death).
68:21  But Elohim shall shatter the rosh of His oyevim, and the hairy kodkod (crown of the head, scalp) of such a one as continueth on in his trespasses.
68:22  Adonoi said, I will bring back from Bashan, I will bring back from the depths of the sea;
68:23  That thy regel may be bathed in dahm, that the leshon of thy klavim (dogs) may partake of the oyevim.
68:24  They have seen Thy processions, O Elohim; even the goings of my G-d, my Melech, in the Kodesh.
68:25  The sharim (singers) went before, the nogenim (players on instruments) followed after; among them were the alamot (young unmarried virgins) playing timbrels.
68:26  Barchu Elohim in the congregations, even Hashem, out of the Makor Yisroel (Fountain of Israel).
68:27  There is Binyamin, the youngest at the head; the sarim (princes) of Yehudah and the throng of them, the sarim (princes) of Zevulun, and the sarim (princes) of Naphtali.
68:28  Eloheicha hath commanded thy oz; strengthen, O Elohim, that which Thou hast wrought for us.
68:29  Because of Thy Heikhal at Yerushalayim shall melachim bring offerings unto Thee.
68:30  Rebuke the company of spearmen, the adat (herd) of bulls, with the agalim (calves) of the nations, till every one prostrate himself with ingots of kesef; He scatters the people that delight in wars.
68:31  Magnates shall come out of Mitzrayim; Ethiopia shall soon stretch out her hands unto Elohim.
68:32  Sing unto Elohim, ye mamlechot of ha’aretz; O sing praises unto Adonoi. Selah.
68:33  To Him that rideth upon the skies of Shomayim of old; lo, He doth send out His voice, and that a kol oz (mighty voice).
68:34  Ascribe ye oz (power) unto Elohim; His majesty is over Yisroel, and His oz is in the skies.
68:35  O Elohim, Thou art norah (awesome, terrible) out of Thy Mikdashim; the El (G-d) of Yisroel is He that giveth oz and strength unto His people. Baruch Elohim.
