1 LetGod arise, let his enemies be scattered, and let them that hate him flee before him.
1To the Overseer. --A Psalm, a song of David. Rise doth God--scattered are His enemies! And those hating Him flee from His face.
1Unto the end, for them that shall be changed; for David.
2 As smoke is driven, thou wilt drive them away; as wax melteth before the fire, the wicked shall perish at the presence ofGod.
2As the driving away of smoke Thou drivest away, As the melting of wax before fire, The wicked perish at the presence of God.
2Save me, O God: for the waters are come in even unto my soul.
3 But the righteous shall rejoice: they shall exult beforeGod and be glad with joy.
3And the righteous rejoice, they exult before God, And they joy with gladness.
3I stick fast in the mire of the deep and there is no sure standing. I am come into the depth of the sea, and a tempest hath overwhelmed me.
4 Sing untoGod, sing forth his name; cast up a way for him that rideth in the deserts: his name is Jah; and rejoice before him.
4Sing ye to God--praise His name, Raise up a highway for Him who is riding in deserts, In Jah <FI>is<Fi> His name, and exult before Him.
4I have laboured with crying; my jaws are become hoarse, my eyes have failed, whilst I hope in my God.
5 A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, isGod in his holy habitation.
5Father of the fatherless, and judge of the widows, <FI>Is<Fi> God in His holy habitation.
5They are multiplied above the hairs of my head, who hate me without cause. My enemies are grown strong who have wrongfully persecuted me: then did I pay that which I took not away.
6 God maketh the solitary into families; those that were bound he bringeth out into prosperity: but the rebellious dwell in a parched [land].
6God--causing the lonely to dwell at home, Bringing out bound ones into prosperity, Only--the refractory have inhabited a dry place.
6O God, thou knowest my foolishness; and my offences are not hidden from thee:
7 OGod, when thou wentest forth before thy people, when thou didst march through the wilderness — (Selah) —
7O God, in Thy going forth before Thy people, In Thy stepping through the wilderness, Selah.
7Let not them be ashamed for me, who look for thee, O Lord, the Lord of hosts. Let them not be confounded on my account, who seek thee, O God of Israel.
8 The earth trembled, the heavens also dropped at the presence ofGod, yon Sinai, at the presence ofGod, theGod of Israel.
8The earth hath shaken, Yea, the heavens have dropped before God, This Sinai--before God, the God of Israel.
8Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; shame hath covered my face.
9 Thou, OGod, didst pour a plentiful rain upon thine inheritance, and when it was weary thou strengthenedst it.
9A shower of free-will gifts thou shakest out, O God. Thine inheritance, when it hath been weary, Thou hast established it.
9I am become a stranger to my brethren, and an alien to the sons of my mother.
10 Thy flock hath dwelt therein: thou hast prepared in thy goodness, for the afflicted, OGod!
10Thy company have dwelt in it, Thou preparest in Thy goodness for the poor, O God.
10For the zeal of thy house hath eaten me up: and the reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me.
11 The Lord gives the word: great the host of the publishers.
11The Lord doth give the saying, The female proclaimers <FI>are<Fi> a numerous host.
11And I covered my soul in fasting: and it was made a reproach to me.
12 Kings of armies flee; they flee, and she that tarrieth at home divideth the spoil.
12Kings of hosts flee utterly away, And a female inhabitant of the house apportioneth spoil.
12And I made haircloth my garment: and I became a byword to them.
13 Though ye have lain among the sheepfolds, [ye shall be as] wings of a dove covered with silver, and her feathers with green gold.
13Though ye do lie between two boundaries, Wings of a dove covered with silver, And her pinions with yellow gold.
13They that sat in the gate spoke against me: and they that drank wine made me their song.
14 When the Almighty scattered kings in it, it became snow-white as Zalmon.
14When the Mighty spreadeth kings in it, It doth snow in Salmon.
14But as for me, my prayer is to thee, O Lord; for the time of thy good pleasure, O God. In the multitude of thy mercy hear me, in the truth of thy salvation.
15 [As] mount Bashan is the mount ofGod, a many-peaked mountain, [as] mount Bashan.
15A hill of God <FI>is<Fi> the hill of Bashan, A hill of heights <FI>is<Fi> the hill of Bashan.
15Draw me out of the mire, that I may not stick fast: deliver me from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters.
16 Why do ye look with envy, ye many-peaked mountains, upon the mount thatGod hath desired for his abode? yea, Jehovah will dwell [there] for ever.
16Why do ye envy, O high hills, The hill God hath desired for His seat? Jehovah also doth tabernacle for ever.
16Let not the tempest of water drown me, nor the deep water swallow me up: and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me.
17 The chariots ofGod are twenty thousand, thousands upon thousands; the Lord is among them: it is a Sinai in holiness.

18And turn not away thy face from thy servant: for I am in trouble, hear me speedily.
19 Blessed be the Lord: day by day doth he load us [with good], theGod who is our salvation. Selah.

25 The singers went before, the players on stringed instruments after, in the midst of maidens playing on tabrets.
25Singers have been before, Behind <FI>are<Fi> players on instruments, In the midst virgins playing with timbrels.
25Pour out thy indignation upon them: and let thy wrathful anger take hold of them.
26 In the congregations bless yeGod, the Lord, — [ye] from the fountain of Israel.
26In assemblies bless ye God, The Lord--from the fountain of Israel.
