A Psalm or Song of David, to the chief Musician. |
Psalm 68:1-35 Book# 2 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks] |
Let God [rise up] & let His enemies be scattered. Also, let [those who] hate Him, flee before Him. |
[Numbers 10:35 And it [happened,] when the Ark set forward, that Moses said, Rise up, Lord & let Your enemies be scattered & let [those who] hate You, flee before You.] |
[Like] smoke is driven away, [also] drive them away. [Like] wax melts, [in front of] the fire, so [in a similar manner,] let the wicked perish at the presence of God. But let the righteous be glad. Let them rejoice before God. |
[Yes,] let them rejoice exceedingly. Sing to God. Sing praises to His Name. [Enthusiastically praise] Him, [Who] rides upon the heavens, by His Name, JAH, & rejoice before Him. |
God is a Father of the fatherless & a judge of the widows, in His holy habitation. God [puts those who are alone, into] families. He brings out those [who] are bound with chains, but the rebellious dwell in a dry land. |
[Isaiah 42:6-8 I, the Lord, have called You in Righteousness & will hold Your hand & keep You & give You for a covenant [contract] of the people, for a Light of the Gentiles; *To open the eyes [of] the blind, to bring out the prisoners from the prison & [those who] sit in darkness, out of the prison house. |
I am the Lord. That is My Name. And I will not give My glory to another, neither My praise to [carved] images.] |
O God, when You marched through the wilderness, You went [out] before Your people. Selah. The earth shook, also the heavens dropped [rain] at [God's] presence. Even Sinai, itself was moved at the presence of God, the God of Israel. |
You, O God, [sent] plentiful rain, [with which] You [confirmed] Your inheritance, when it was weary. [Leviticus 26:1-4 You shall [not] make [any] idols, nor [carved images,] neither shall you rear up [for yourself] a standing image. |
Neither shall you [put] up any image of stone in Your land, to bow down to it. For I Am the Lord your God. You shall keep My Sabbaths & [respect] My sanctuary. I Am the Lord. |
If you [follow] in My [mandates] & keep My commandments & do them, Then, I will give you rain in [the appropriate time] & the land shall [produce its] increase & the trees of the field shall [produce its] fruit.] |
Your congregation has [lived in there.] You, O God,have prepared [from] Your goodness, for the poor. The Lord gave the Word. [Large] was the company of those [who declared] it. |
[1 John 1:1-3 That Which was from the beginning, Which we have heard, [Who] we have seen with our eyes, [Who] we have handled, of the Word of Life. (For the Life was [made visible] & we have seen it & bear witness & [show] to you that Eternal Life, which was with the Father & was [made apparent] to us.) |
That [Whom] we have seen & heard, we declare to you, [so] you may also have fellowship with us. And truly our fellowship is with the Father & with His Son, Jesus Christ.] |
Kings of armies did flee [hurriedly] & she [who waited] at home, divided the [plunder.] [Although] you have [laid down] among the [dirty] pots, [still] you shall be [like] the wings of a dove covered with silver & her feathers with yellow gold. |
When the Almighty scattered the kings in it. It was white as snow in Salmon, [a.k.a. Mount Zalmon.] [Joshua 9:10-11 Therefore, Joshua went up from Gilgal all night & came to them suddenly. |
And the Lord [confused] them before Israel & [killed] them with a [large] slaughter at Gibeon & chased them along the [road] that goes up to Beth Horon & [struck them down] to Azekah & to Makkedah. |
And it [happened,] as they fled before Israel & were going down to Beth Horon, the Lord cast down [large] stones from heaven upon them, [all the way to] Azekah & they died. [There] were more [who] died with hailstones, than [those] whom the children [people] of Israel [struck down] with the sword.] |
The [mountain] of God is [like Mount] Bashan. [Mount] Bashan is a high [mountain.] Why do you leap high [mountains?] This is the mountain [in] which God desires to [live] in. [Yes,] the Lord will [live] in it forever. God [has] 20,000 chariots & even 1,000’s of Angels. |
The Lord is among them, [like] in Sinai, in the Holy Place. [Deuteronomy 33:2 And [Moses] said, The Lord came from Sinai & rose up from Seir to them. He shined forth from Mount Paran & He came with 10,000's of saints. From His right hand went a fiery Law for them.] |
* You have ascended on high. You have led [those] captive [from] captivity. You have received gifts for men. [Yes,] for the rebellious also, [so] that the Lord God might dwell among them. |
[John 3:13-16 And no man has ascended up to heaven, but He, [Who] came down from heaven, even the Son of Man, [Who] is in heaven. And [like] Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so, the Son of Man must be lifted up. That [whoever] believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life. |
For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Begotten Son, that [whoever] believes in Him, should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God [didn't] bring His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.] |
Blessed be the Lord, Who daily loads us with benefits, even the God of our Salvation. Selah. And [those who escape] from death belong unto God, the Lord. He, [Who] is our God, is the God of Salvation. |
[Revelation 22:12-15 And [watch,] I come quickly & My reward is with Me & shall be to give to every man according as his [deeds.] I Am [the] Alpha & [the] Omega, the Beginning & the End, the First & the Last. |
Blessed are [those who] do His commandments, [so] that they may have right to the Tree of Life & may enter in through the gates into the city. For [outside] are dogs, sorcerers, [sexual traffickers,] murderers, idolaters & [whoever] loves [to invent & tell lies.] |
But God shall wound the head of His enemies & the hairy scalp of [those who continue] on in his [sins.] [Deuteronomy 32:39-40 See now, that I, even I, Am He & there is no god with Me. I kill & I make alive. I wound & I heal. Neither is there any that can deliver out of My hand. For I lift up My hand to heaven & say, I live forever.] |
The Lord said, I will bring from Bashan again, I will bring My people again from the depths of the sea. [Exodus 14:21-22 And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea & the Lord caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night & made the sea dry land & the waters were divided. |
And the children [people] of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground & the waters were a wall to them on their right hand & on their left.] |
[So,] that your foot may be dipped in the blood of your enemies & the tongue of your dogs in the same. [1 Kings 21:18-19 Arise & go down to meet Ahab, [Israel's] king, [who] is in Samaria. [Look,] he is in the vineyard of Naboth, [where] he has gone down to possess it. |
And you shall [say] to him, saying, The Lord [says this, Have] you killed & also taken possession? And you shall [say] to him, saying, the Lord [says this,] In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth, dogs shall lick your blood, even yours.] |
They have seen Your goings, O God, even the going of my God, my King, in the sanctuary. The singers went before, the players [of] instruments followed after. Among them were the [young ladies] playing with [tambourines.] [1 Chronicles 15:27-28 And David was clothed with a robe of fine linen & also had upon him a linen ephod. |
And all the Levites, [who carried] the Ark & the singers & Chenaniah, [the music director,] & all the singers. [Like this,] all Israel brought up the Ark of the Covenant of the Lord with shouting, with [the] sound of: cornets, trumpets & cymbals making noise with [lyres] & harps.] |
You, bless God in the congregations, even the Lord, from the Fountain of Israel. [Revelation 21:6 And He said to me, It is done. I Am [the] Alpha & [the] Omega, the Beginning & the End. I will give to him, who is [thirsty, from] the Fountain of the Water of Life freely.] |
There is [small] Benjamin with [its] ruler, the princes of Judah & their council, the princes of Zebulun & the princes of Naphtali. [1 Samuel 9:21 And Saul answered & said, Am I not a Benjamite, of the smallest of the tribes of Israel? And my family, the least of all the families of the tribe of Benjamin? [Then, why do] you speak to me?] |
Your God has commanded your strength. God strengthen [what] You have [fashioned] for us. Because of Your temple [in] Jerusalem, kings shall bring presents to You. |
[1 Kings 10:10 And she gave the king 120 talents of gold, [a] very [large amount] of spices & precious stones. There [never] came [again] such abundance of spices as these, which the Queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon.] |
[Chastise] the company of [archers,] the multitude of bulls, with calves [from] the people, [until] everyone submits himself with pieces of silver. You scatter the people [who] delight in [the bloodshed of] war. |
[Isaiah 1:11-15 To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices to Me? [says] the Lord. I am full of the burnt offerings of rams & the fat of fed [animals] & I [don't] delight in the blood of [bulls,] lambs, or [male] goats. |
Who has required this at your [hands, when you come to appear before Me, to [trample] My [courtyards?] No [longer] bring [worthless offerings.] Incense is [detestable] to Me. The calling of the assemblies [for] the: New Moons & Sabbaths, I can't [go along with.] It is [sinful,] even the solemn [meetings.] |
My soul hates your New Moons & your feasts. They are [troublesome] to Me. I am [tired of putting up with] them. And when you spread [out] your hands, I will hide [My] eyes from you. [Yes,] when you make many prayers, I won't hear. Your hands are full of blood.] |
Princes shall come out of Egypt. Ethiopia shall soon stretch out her hands to God. [Isaiah 19:23-25 And the Lord shall [strike] Egypt & He shall [strike] & heal it. And they shall even return to the Lord & He shall be [petitioned on their behalf for] them & shall heal them. |
[On] that day, there shall be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria. And the Assyrian shall come into Egypt & the Egyptian into Assyria. And the Egyptians shall serve with the Assyrians. |
[On] that day, Israel shall be the 3rd with Egypt & with Assyria, even a blessing in the [middle] of the land. Whom the Lord of Hosts shall bless, saying, Blessed be Egypt, My people & Assyria, the work of My Hands & Israel [My] inheritance.] |
Sing to God, you kingdoms of the earth. O sing praises to the Lord. Selah. To Him, [Who] rides upon the [heaven] of heavens, [Who existed] of old, [look,] He [sends] out His voice & [it] is a mighty voice. |
[Revelation 3:20-21 [Look,] I stand at the door & knock. If any man hears My voice & opens the door, I will come into him & will [eat] with him & he with Me. To him [who] overcomes, I will grant to sit with Me [on] My throne, even as I also overcame & Am set down with My Father [on] His throne.] |
You [attribute] strength to God. His [excellence] is over Israel & His strength is in the clouds. O God, You [are terribly awesome from] Your Holy Places. He is the God of Israel, [Who] gives strength & power to His people. Blessed [is] God. |
