Mezmurlar 67

¹Son için; Davut'un ezgi mezmuru.

²Tanrı ayağa kalksın ve O'nun düşmanları darmadağın edilsin; O'ndan nefret edenler O'nun huzurundan kaçsınlar.

³Dumanın dağılıp yok olduğu gibi yok olsunlar; balmumu ateşin karşısında nasıl erirse, günahkarlar da Tanrı'nın huzurunda öylece mahvolsunlar.

⁴Doğrular ise sevinsin, Tanrı'nın huzurunda coşsunlar ve büyük bir sevinçle neşelensinler.

⁵Tanrı'ya ezgiler söyleyin, O'nun adına mezmurlar okuyun; batı üzerinde binip gelene yol hazırlayın, O'nun adı Rab'dir; O'nun huzurunda coşun.

⁶Yetimlerin babası ve dulların yargıcı olan Tanrı'nın huzurunda sarsılacaklar; Tanrı Kendi kutsal yerindedir.

⁷Tanrı tek başınakileri bir eve yerleştirir, zincire vurulmuş olanları cesaretle özgürlüğe çıkarır; benzer şekilde isyan edenleri de mezarlarda oturanlar arasından çıkarır.

⁸Ey Tanrı, halkının önünde yola çıktığında, çölde yürüdüğünde; (Ara nağme).

⁹Yer sarsıldı, nitekim gökler bile Sina Tanrısı'nın huzurunda, İsrail'in Tanrısı'nın huzurunda damladı.

¹⁰Ey Tanrı, mirasın üzerine bol ve cömert bir yağmur yağdırdın; o bitkin düşmüştü, ama sen onu tazeledin.

¹¹Senin canlıların orada yurt kurdu; ey Tanrı, iyiliğinle yoksul için hazırlık yaptın.

¹²Rab bir söz verecektir; müjdeyi yayanlar büyük bir orduyla ve güçle doludur.

¹³Sevgilinin ordularının kralı, evin güzelliğine ganimetleri paylaştırmak içindir.

¹⁴Sınır çizgilerinin arasında uyusanız bile, kanatları gümüşle, sırtı sarı altınla kaplı bir güvercin gibi olursunuz.

¹⁵Göksel olan, oradaki kralları darmadağın ettiğinde, Selmon Dağı'nda kar yağmış gibi beyazlanacaklar.

¹⁶Tanrı'nın dağı bereketli bir dağdır; engebeli ve bereketli bir dağdır.

¹⁷Ey engebeli dağlar, Tanrı'nın konut edinmekten hoşnut olduğu dağa neden şüpheyle bakıyorsunuz? Gerçekten de Rab orada sonsuza dek mesken kuracaktır.

¹⁸Tanrı'nın savaş arabaları on binlerce, refah içindekilerin binlercesidir; Rab onların arasındadır, Sina'da, kutsal yerdedir.

¹⁹Yücelere çıktın, tutsakları peşine taktın, insanlar arasında armağanlar aldın; nitekim baş eğmeyenlerin bile orada mesken kurması için.

²⁰Rab Tanrı övgüye layıktır, her gün Rab'be övgüler olsun; kurtuluşumuzun Tanrısı bize yolumuzu kolaylaştırsın. (Ara nağme).

²¹Tanrımız kurtuluş Tanrısı'dır; ölümden çıkış yolları Egemen Rab'be aittir.

²²Şüphesiz Tanrı düşmanlarının başını, kendi suçları içinde yürüyenlerin saçlı tepesini ezecektir.

²³Rab dedi ki: "Onları Başan'dan geri getireceğim, denizin derinliklerinden geri getireceğim."

²⁴Öyle ki, ayağın kana bulansın ve köpeklerinin dili düşmanlarından kendi payını alsın.

²⁵Ey Tanrı, senin tören alayların görüldü; Tanrım'ın, Kralım'ın kutsal yerdeki tören alayları.

²⁶Önde önderler yürüdü, arkada tef çalan genç kızların ortasındaki çalgıcılar onları takip etti.

²⁷Topluluklarda Tanrı'yı kutsayın, İsrail'in pınarlarından gelen Rab'be övgüler sunun.

²⁸Orada en gençleri olan Benyamin vecd içindedir; Yahuda önderleri ve onların yöneticileri, Zevulun önderleri, Naftali önderleri oradadır.

²⁹Ey Tanrı, gücünü buyur; ey Tanrı, bizim için gerçekleştirdiklerini pekiştir.

³⁰Yeruşalim'deki tapınağından ötürü krallar sana armağanlar sunacak.

³¹Sazlıktaki yabanıl hayvanları, ulusların düveleri arasındaki boğalar sürüsünü azarla; öyle ki, gümüşle sınanmış olanlar içeri alınsın. Savaş isteyen ulusları darmadağın et.

³²Mısır'dan elçiler gelecek; Etiyopya ellerini hemen Tanrı'ya uzatacak.

³³Ey yeryüzünün krallıkları, Tanrı'ya ezgiler söyleyin, Rab'be mezmurlar okuyun. (Ara nağme).

³⁴Göklerin göğü üzerinde doğuya doğru binip gelene mezmurlar okuyun; işte, O Kendi sesiyle güçlü sesini yükseltmektedir.

³⁵Tanrı'nın gücünü ilan edin; O'nun görkemi İsrail'in üzerindedir, gücü ise bulutlardadır.

³⁶Ey Tanrı, kutsal yerlerinde ne görkemlisin! İsrail'in Tanrısı Kendi halkına güç ve kudret verecektir. Tanrı övgüye layıktır!

¹Εἰς τὸ τέλος· ᾠδῆς ψαλμὸς τῷ Δαυΐδ. -

²ΑΝΑΣΤΗΤΩ ὁ Θεός, καὶ διασκορπισθήτωσαν οἱ ἐχθροὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ φυγέτωσαν ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτοῦ οἱ μισοῦντες αὐτόν.

³ὡς ἐκλείπει καπνός, ἐκλιπέτωσαν· ὡς τήκεται κηρὸς ἀπὸ προσώπου πυρός, οὕτως ἀπολοῦνται οἱ ἁμαρτωλοὶ ἀπὸ προσώπου τοῦ Θεοῦ.

⁴καὶ οἱ δίκαιοι εὐφρανθήτωσαν, ἀγαλλιάσθωσαν ἐνώπιον τοῦ Θεοῦ, τερφθήτωσαν ἐν εὐφροσύνῃ.

⁵ᾄσατε τῷ Θεῷ, ψάλατε τῷ ὀνόματι αὐτοῦ· ὁδοποιήσατε τῷ ἐπιβεβηκότι ἐπὶ δυσμῶν, Κύριος ὄνομα αὐτῷ, καὶ ἀγαλλιᾶσθε ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ.

⁶ταραχθήσονται ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτοῦ, τοῦ πατρὸς τῶν ὀρφανῶν καὶ κριτοῦ τῶν χηρῶν· ὁ Θεὸς ἐν τόπῳ ἁγίῳ αὐτοῦ.

⁷ὁ Θεὸς κατοικίζει μονοτρόπους ἐν οἴκῳ ἐξάγων πεπεδημένους ἐν ἀνδρείᾳ, ὁμοίως τοὺς παραπικραίνοντας, τοὺς κατοικοῦντας ἐν τάφοις.

⁸ὁ Θεός, ἐν τῷ ἐκπορεύεσθαί σε ἐνώπιον τοῦ λαοῦ σου, ἐν τῷ διαβαίνειν σε ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ. (διάψαλμα).

⁹γῆ ἐσείσθη, καὶ γὰρ οἱ οὐρανοὶ ἔσταξαν ἀπὸ προσώπου τοῦ Θεοῦ τοῦ Σινᾶ, ἀπὸ προσώπου τοῦ Θεοῦ ᾿Ισραήλ.

¹⁰βροχὴν ἑκούσιον ἀφοριεῖς, ὁ Θεός, τῇ κληρονομίᾳ σου, καὶ ἠσθένησε, σὺ δὲ κατηρτίσω αὐτήν.

¹¹τὰ ζῷά σου κατοικοῦσιν ἐν αὐτῇ· ἡτοίμασας ἐν τῇ χρηστότητί σου τῷ πτωχῷ, ὁ Θεός.

¹²Κύριος δώσει ῥῆμα τοῖς εὐαγγελιζομένοις δυνάμει πολλῇ,

¹³ὁ βασιλεὺς τῶν δυνάμεων τοῦ ἀγαπητοῦ, τῇ ὡραιότητι τοῦ οἴκου διελέσθαι σκῦλα.

¹⁴ἐὰν κοιμηθῆτε ἀνὰ μέσον τῶν κλήρων, πτέρυγες περιστερᾶς περιηργυρωμέναι, καὶ τὰ μετάφρενα αὐτῆς ἐν χλωρότητι χρυσίου.

¹⁵ἐν τῷ διαστέλλειν τὸν ἐπουράνιον βασιλεῖς ἐπ᾿ αὐτῆς, χιονωθήσονται ἐν Σελμών.

¹⁶ὄρος τοῦ Θεοῦ, ὄρος πῖον, ὄρος τετυρωμένον, ὄρος πῖον.

¹⁷ἱνατί ὑπολαμβάνετε, ὄρη τετυρωμένα, τὸ ὄρος, ὃ εὐδόκησεν ὁ Θεὸς κατοικεῖν ἐν αὐτῷ; καὶ γὰρ ὁ Κύριος κατασκηνώσει εἰς τέλος.

¹⁸τὸ ἅρμα τοῦ Θεοῦ μυριοπλάσιον, χιλιάδες εὐθηνούντων· Κύριος ἐν αὐτοῖς ἐν Σινᾷ ἦν, ἐν τῷ ἁγίῳ.

¹⁹ἀνέβης εἰς ὕψος, ᾐχμαλώτευσας αἰχμαλωσίαν, ἔλαβες δόματα ἐν ἀνθρώποις, καὶ γὰρ ἀπειθοῦντας τοῦ κατασκηνῶσαι.

²⁰Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς εὐλογητός, εὐλογητὸς Κύριος ἡμέραν καθ᾿ ἡμέραν· κατευοδώσαι ἡμῖν ὁ Θεὸς τῶν σωτηρίων ἡμῶν. (διάψαλμα).

²¹ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν, ὁ Θεὸς τοῦ σῴζειν, καὶ τοῦ Κυρίου Κυρίου αἱ διέξοδοι τοῦ θανάτου.

²²πλὴν ὁ Θεὸς συνθλάσει κεφαλὰς ἐχθρῶν αὐτοῦ, κορυφὴν τριχὸς διαπορευομένων ἐν πλημμελείαις αὐτῶν.

²³εἶπε Κύριος· ἐκ Βασὰν ἐπιστρέψω, ἐπιστρέψω ἐν βυθοῖς θαλάσσης.

²⁴ὅπως ἂν βαφῇ ὁ πούς σου ἐν αἵματι, ἡ γλῶσσα τῶν κυνῶν σου ἐξ ἐχθρῶν παρ᾿ αὐτοῦ.

²⁵ἐθεωρήθησαν αἱ πορεῖαί σου, ὁ Θεός, αἱ πορεῖαι τοῦ Θεοῦ μου τοῦ βασιλέως τοῦ ἐν τῷ ἁγίῳ.

²⁶προέφθασαν ἄρχοντες ἐχόμενοι ψαλλόντων ἐν μέσῳ νεανίδων τυμπανιστριῶν.

²⁷ἐν ἐκκλησίαις εὐλογεῖτε τὸν Θεόν, Κύριον ἐκ πηγῶν ᾿Ισραήλ.

²⁸ἐκεῖ Βενιαμὶν νεώτερος ἐν ἐκστάσει, ἄρχοντες ᾿Ιούδα ἡγεμόνες αὐτῶν, ἄρχοντες Ζαβουλών, ἄρχοντες Νεφθαλείμ.

²⁹ἔντειλαι, ὁ Θεός, τῇ δυνάμει σου, δυνάμωσον, ὁ Θεός, τοῦτο, ὃ κατειργάσω ἐν ἡμῖν.

³⁰ἀπὸ τοῦ ναοῦ σου ἐπὶ ῾Ιερουσαλὴμ σοὶ οἴσουσι βασιλεῖς δῶρα.

³¹ἐπιτίμησον τοῖς θηρίοις τοῦ καλάμου· ἡ συναγωγὴ τῶν ταύρων ἐν ταῖς δαμάλεσι τῶν λαῶν τοῦ ἐγκλεισθῆναι τοὺς δεδοκιμασμένους τῷ ἀργυρίῳ· διασκόρπισον ἔθνη τὰ τοὺς πολέμους θέλοντα.

³²ἥξουσι πρέσβεις ἐξ Αἰγύπτου, Αἰθιοπία προφθάσει χεῖρα αὐτῆς τῷ Θεῷ.

³³αἱ βασιλεῖαι τῆς γῆς, ᾄσατε τῷ Θεῷ, ψάλατε τῷ Κυρίῳ. (διάψαλμα).

³⁴ψάλατε τῷ Θεῷ τῷ ἐπιβεβηκότι ἐπὶ τὸν οὐρανὸν τοῦ οὐρανοῦ κατὰ ἀνατολάς· ἰδοὺ δώσει τῇ φωνῇ αὐτοῦ φωνὴν δυνάμεως.

³⁵δότε δόξαν τῷ Θεῷ· ἐπὶ τὸν ᾿Ισραὴλ ἡ μεγαλοπρέπεια αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἡ δύναμις αὐτοῦ ἐν ταῖς νεφέλαις.

³⁶θαυμαστὸς ὁ Θεὸς ἐν τοῖς ἁγίοις αὐτοῦ· ὁ Θεὸς ᾿Ισραήλ, αὐτὸς δώσει δύναμιν καὶ κραταίωσιν τῷ λαῷ αὐτοῦ. εὐλογητὸς ὁ Θεός. [*] The variation τοῦ μὴ ἀποκλεισθῆναι (=to not be excluded) is equal with τοῦ ἐγκλεισθῆναι (=to be included), with the only real change being in emphasis, which in the first case is negative, while in the second case is at the positive side.

¹[For the end, a Psalm of a Song by David.]

²Let God arise, and let his enemies be scattered; and let them that hate him flee from before him.

³As smoke vanishes, let them vanish: as wax melts before the fire, so let the sinners perish from before God.

⁴But let the righteous rejoice; let them exult before God: let them be delighted with joy.

⁵Sing to God, sing praises to his name: make a way for him that rides upon the west (the Lord is his name) and exult before him. They shall be troubled before the face of him,

⁶[who is] the father of the orphans, and judge of the widows: [such is] God in his holy place.

⁷God settles the solitary in a house; leading forth prisoners mightily, also them that act provokingly, [even] them that dwell in tombs.

⁸O God, when thou wentest forth before thy people, when thou wentest through the wilderness; Pause:

⁹the earth quaked, yea, the heavens dropped [water] at the presence of the God of Sina, at the presence of the God of Israel.

¹⁰O God, thou wilt grant to thine inheritance a gracious rain; for it was weary, but thou didst refresh it.

¹¹Thy creatures dwell in it: thou hast in thy goodness prepared for the poor.

¹²The Lord God will give a word to them that preach [it] in a great company.

¹³The king of the forces of the beloved, of the beloved, [will] even [grant them] for the beauty of the house to divide the spoils.

¹⁴Even if ye should lie among the lots, [ye shall have] the wings of a dove covered with silver, and her breast with yellow gold.

¹⁵When the heavenly One scatters kings upon it, they shall be made snow-white in Selmon.

¹⁶The mountain of God is a rich mountain; a swelling mountain, a rich mountain.

¹⁷Wherefore do ye conceive [evil], ye swelling mountains? [this is] the mountain which God has delighted to dwell in; yea, the Lord will dwell [in it] for ever.

¹⁸The chariots of God are ten thousand fold, thousands of rejoicing ones: the Lord is among them, in Sina, in the holy place.

¹⁹Thou art gone up on high, thou hast led captivity captive, thou hast received gifts for man, yea, for [they were] rebellious, that thou mightest dwell among them.

²⁰Blessed be the Lord God, blessed be the Lord daily; and the God of our salvation shall prosper us. Pause.

²¹Our God is the God of salvation; and to the Lord belong the issues from death.

²²But God shall crush the heads of his enemies; the hairy crown of them that go on in their trespasses.

²³The Lord said, I will bring again from Basan, I will bring [my people] again through the depths of the sea.

²⁴That thy foot may be dipped in blood, [and] the tongue of thy dogs [be stained] with that of [thine] enemies.

²⁵Thy goings, O God, have been seen; the goings of my God, the king, in the sanctuary.

²⁶The princes went first, next before the players on instruments, in the midst of damsels playing on timbrels.

²⁷Praise God in the congregations, the Lord from the fountains of Israel.

²⁸There is Benjamin the younger [one] in ecstasy, the princes of Juda their rulers, the princes of Zabulon, the princes of Nephthali.

²⁹O God, command thou thy strength: strengthen, O God, this which thou hast wrought in us.

³⁰Because of thy temple at Jerusalem shall kings bring presents to thee.

³¹Rebuke the wild beasts of the reed: let the crowd of bulls with the heifers of the nations [be rebuked], so that they who have been proved with silver may not be shut out: [*] scatter thou the nations that wish for wars.

³²Ambassadors shall arrive out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall hasten [to stretch out] her hand readily to God.

³³Sing to God, ye kingdoms of the earth; sing psalms to the Lord. Pause.

³⁴Sing to God that rides on the heaven of heaven, eastward: lo, he will utter a mighty sound with his voice.

³⁵Give ye glory to God: his excellency is over Israel, and his power is in the clouds.

³⁶God is wonderful in his holy [places], the God of Israel: he will give power and strength to his people: blessed be God.
