Psalm 68

Appended hereto is an example of a chapter with the names of the Deity inserted according to the Hebrew original.

PSALM 68

1. Let Elohim arise, let His enemies be scattered;
   Let them also that hate Him flee before Him.
2. As smoke is driven away, so drive them away:
   As wax melteth before the fire, So let the wicked perish at the presence of Elohim.
3. But let the righteous be glad; let them exult before Elohim;
   Yea, let them rejoice with gladness.
4. Sing unto Elohim, sing praises to His name:
   Cast up a highway for Him that rideth through the deserts;
   His name is Yah; and exult ye before Him.
5. A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows,
   Is Elohim in His holy habitation.
6. Elohim setteth the solitary in families:
   He bringeth out the prisoners into prosperity:
   But the rebellious dwell in a parched land.
7. O Elohim, when Thou wentest forth before Thy people,
   When Thou didst march through the wilderness;
8. The earth trembled,
   The heavens also dropped at the presence of Elohim;
   Even yon Sinai trembled at the presence of Elohim, the Elohim of Israel.
9. Thou, O Elohim, didst send a plentiful rain,
   Thou didst confirm Thine inheritance when it was weary.
10. Thy congregation dwelt therein:
    Thou, O Elohim, didst prepare of Thy goodness for the poor.
11. Adonai giveth the word:
    The women that publish the tidings are a great host.
12. Kings of armies flee, they flee:
    And she that tarrieth at home divideth the spoil.
13. Will ye lie among the sheepfolds,
    As the wings of a dove covered with silver,
    And her pinions with yellow gold ?
14. When Shaddai scattered kings therein,
    It was as when it snoweth in Zalmon.
15. A mountain of Elohim is the mountain of Bashan;
    A high mountain is the mountain of Bashan.
16. Why look ye askance, ye high mountains,
    At the mountain which Elohim hath desired for His abode?
    Yea, Yahweh will dwell in it for ever.
17. The chariots of Elohim are twenty thousand, even thousands upon thousands:
    Adonai is among them, as in Sinai, in the sanctuary.
18. Thou hast ascended on high, Thou hast led Thy captivity captive;
    Thou hast received gifts among men,
    Yea, among the rebellious also, that Yah Elohim might dwell with them.
19. Blessed be Adonai, Who daily beareth our burden,
    Even El Who is our salvation.
20. El is unto us an El of deliverances;
    And unto Yahweh Adonai belong the issues from death.
21. But Elohim shall smite through the head of His enemies,
    The hairy scalp of such an one as goeth on still in his guiltiness.
22. Adonai said, I will bring again from Bashan,
    I will bring them again from the depths of the sea:
23. That thou mayest dip thy foot in blood,
    That the tongue of thy dogs may have its portion from thine enemies.
24. They have seen Thy goings, 0 Elohim.
    Even the goings of my El, my King, into the sanctuary.
25. The singers went before, the minstrels followed after.
    In the midst of the damsels playing with timbrels.
26. Bless ye Elohim in the congregations,
    Even Adonai ye that are of the fountain of Israel.
27. There is little Benjamin their ruler,
    The princes of Judah and their council,
    The princes of Zebulun, the princes of Naphtali.
28. Thy Elohim hath commanded thy strength:
    Strengthen, O Elohim, that which Thou hast wrought for us.
29. Because of Thy temple at Jerusalem,
    Kings shall bring presents unto thee.
30. Rebuke the wild beast of the reeds,
    The multitude of the bulls, with the calves of the peoples,
    Trampling under foot the pieces of silver;
    He hath scattered the peoples that delight in war.
31. Princes shall come out of Egypt;
    Ethiopia shall haste to stretch out her hands unto Elohim.
32. Sing unto Elohim, ye kingdoms of the earth;
    O sing praises unto Adonai;
33. To Him that rideth upon the heavens of heavens, which are of old;
    Lo, He uttereth His voice, and that a mighty voice.
34. Ascribe ye strength unto Elohim:
    His excellency is over Israel,
    And His strength is in the skies.
35. O Elohim, Thou art terrible out of Thy holy places:
    The El of Israel, He giveth strength and power unto His people.
    Blessed be Elohim.
