To the chief MusicianH5329, A PsalmH4210 or SongH7892 of DavidH1732. Let GodH430 ariseH6965, let his enemiesH341 be scatteredH6327: let them also that hateH8130 him fleeH5127 beforeH6440 him. {before…: Heb. from his face}
As smokeH6227 is driven awayH5086, so drive them awayH5086: as waxH1749 meltethH4549 beforeH6440 the fireH784, so let the wickedH7563 perishH6 at the presenceH6440 of GodH430.
But let the righteousH6662 be gladH8055; let them rejoiceH5970 beforeH6440 GodH430: yea, let them exceedinglyH8057 rejoiceH7797. {exceedingly…: Heb. rejoice with gladness}
SingH7891 unto GodH430, sing praisesH2167 to his nameH8034: extolH5549 him that ridethH7392 upon the heavensH6160 by his nameH8034 JAHH3050, and rejoiceH5937 beforeH6440 him.
A fatherH1 of the fatherlessH3490, and a judgeH1781 of the widowsH490, is GodH430 in his holyH6944 habitationH4583.
GodH430 settethH3427 the solitaryH3173 in familiesH1004: he bringeth outH3318 those which are boundH615 with chainsH3574: but the rebelliousH5637 dwellH7931 in a dryH6707 land. {in families: Heb. in a house}
O GodH430, when thou wentest forthH3318 beforeH6440 thy peopleH5971, when thou didst marchH6805 through the wildernessH3452; SelahH5542:
The earthH776 shookH7493, the heavensH8064 also droppedH5197 at the presenceH6440 of GodH430: even SinaiH5514 itselfH2088 was moved at the presenceH6440 of GodH430, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478.
Thou, O GodH430, didst sendH5130 a plentifulH5071 rainH1653, whereby thou didst confirmH3559 thine inheritanceH5159, when it was wearyH3811. {send: Heb. shake out} {confirm: Heb. confirm it}
Thy congregationH2416 hath dweltH3427 therein: thou, O GodH430, hast preparedH3559 of thy goodnessH2896 for the poorH6041.
The LordH136 gaveH5414 the wordH562: greatH7227 was the companyH6635 of those that publishedH1319 it. {company: Heb. army}
KingsH4428 of armiesH6635 did fleeH5074 apaceH5074: and she that tarriedH5116 at homeH1004 dividedH2505 the spoilH7998. {did…: Heb. did flee, did flee}
Though ye have lienH7901 among the potsH8240, yet shall ye be as the wingsH3671 of a doveH3123 coveredH2645 with silverH3701, and her feathersH84 with yellowH3422 goldH2742.
When the AlmightyH7706 scatteredH6566 kingsH4428 in it, it was white as snowH7949 in SalmonH6756. {in it…: or, for her, she}
The hillH2022 of GodH430 is as the hillH2022 of BashanH1316; an highH1386 hillH2022 as the hillH2022 of BashanH1316.
Why leapH7520 ye, ye highH1386 hillsH2022? this is the hillH2022 which GodH430 desirethH2530 to dwell inH3427; yea, the LORDH3068 will dwellH7931 in it for everH5331.
The chariotsH7393 of GodH430 are twenty thousandH7239, even thousandsH505 of angelsH8136: the LordH136 is among them, as in SinaiH5514, in the holyH6944 place. {even…: or, even many thousands}
Thou hast ascendedH5927 on highH4791, thou hast led captivityH7628 captiveH7617: thou hast receivedH3947 giftsH4979 for menH120; yea, for the rebelliousH5637 also, that the LORDH3050 GodH430 might dwellH7931 among them. {for men: Heb. in the man}
BlessedH1288 be the LordH136, who dailyH3117+H3117 loadethH6006 us with benefits, even the GodH410 of our salvationH3444. SelahH5542.
He that is our GodH410 is the GodH410 of salvationH4190; and unto GODH3069 the LordH136 belong the issuesH8444 from deathH4194.
But GodH430 shall woundH4272 the headH7218 of his enemiesH341, and the hairyH8181 scalpH6936 of such an one as goeth on stillH1980 in his trespassesH817.
The LordH136 saidH559, I will bring againH7725 from BashanH1316, I will bring my people againH7725 from the depthsH4688 of the seaH3220:
That thy footH7272 may be dippedH4272 in the bloodH1818 of thine enemiesH341, and the tongueH3956 of thy dogsH3611 in the same. {dipped: or, red}
They have seenH7200 thy goingsH1979, O GodH430; even the goingsH1979 of my GodH410, my KingH4428, in the sanctuaryH6944.
The singersH7891 went beforeH6923, the players on instrumentsH5059 followed afterH310; amongH8432 them were the damselsH5959 playing with timbrelsH8608.
BlessH1288 ye GodH430 in the congregationsH4721, even the LordH136, from the fountainH4726 of IsraelH3478. {from…: or, ye that are of the fountain of Israel}
There is littleH6810 BenjaminH1144 with their rulerH7287, the princesH8269 of JudahH3063 and their councilH7277, the princesH8269 of ZebulunH2074, and the princesH8269 of NaphtaliH5321. {and their…: or, with their company}
Thy GodH430 hath commandedH6680 thy strengthH5797: strengthenH5810, O GodH430, that whichH2098 thou hast wroughtH6466 for us.
Because of thy templeH1964 at JerusalemH3389 shall kingsH4428 bringH2986 presentsH7862 unto thee.
RebukeH1605 the companyH2416 of spearmenH7070, the multitudeH5712 of the bullsH47, with the calvesH5695 of the peopleH5971, till every one submitH7511 himself with piecesH7518 of silverH3701: scatterH967 thou the peopleH5971 that delightH2654 in warH7128. {the company…: or, the beasts of the reeds} {scatter…: or, he scattereth}
PrincesH2831 shall come outH857 of EgyptH4714; EthiopiaH3568 shall soon stretch outH7323 her handsH3027 unto GodH430.
SingH7891 unto GodH430, ye kingdomsH4467 of the earthH776; O sing praisesH2167 unto the LordH136; SelahH5542:
To him that ridethH7392 upon the heavensH8064 of heavensH8064, which were of oldH6924; lo, he doth send outH5414 his voiceH6963, and that a mightyH5797 voiceH6963. {send…: Heb. give}
AscribeH5414 ye strengthH5797 unto GodH430: his excellencyH1346 is over IsraelH3478, and his strengthH5797 is in the cloudsH7834. {clouds: or, heavens}
O GodH430, thou art terribleH3372 out of thy holy placesH4720: the GodH410 of IsraelH3478 is he that givethH5414 strengthH5797 and powerH8592 unto his peopleH5971. BlessedH1288 be GodH430.
Querverweise zu Psalm 68,29 Ps 68,29
GoH3212 and tellH559 DavidH1732 my servantH5650, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Thou shalt not buildH1129 me an houseH1004 to dwell inH3427:
For I have not dwelt inH3427 an houseH1004 since the dayH3117 that I brought upH5927 IsraelH3478 unto this dayH3117; but have gone from tentH168 to tentH168, and from one tabernacleH4908 to another. {have gone: Heb. have been}
Wheresoever I have walkedH1980 with all IsraelH3478, spakeH1696 I a wordH1697 to anyH259 of the judgesH8199 of IsraelH3478, whom I commandedH6680 to feedH7462 my peopleH5971, sayingH559, Why have ye not builtH1129 me an houseH1004 of cedarsH730?
Now therefore thus shalt thou sayH559 unto my servantH5650 DavidH1732, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, I tookH3947 thee from the sheepcoteH5116, even from followingH310 the sheepH6629, that thou shouldest be rulerH5057 over my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478: {from following: Heb. from after}
And I have been with thee whithersoever thou hast walkedH1980, and have cut offH3772 all thine enemiesH341 from beforeH6440 thee, and have madeH6213 thee a nameH8034 like the nameH8034 of the great menH1419 that are in the earthH776.
Also I will ordainH7760 a placeH4725 for my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, and will plantH5193 them, and they shall dwellH7931 in their place, and shall be movedH7264 no more; neither shall the childrenH1121 of wickednessH5766 wasteH1086 them any moreH3254, as at the beginningH7223,
And since the timeH3117 that I commandedH6680 judgesH8199 to be over my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478. Moreover I will subdueH3665 all thine enemiesH341. Furthermore I tellH5046 thee that the LORDH3068 will buildH1129 thee an houseH1004.
And it shall come to pass, when thy daysH3117 be expiredH4390 that thou must goH3212 to be with thy fathersH1, that I will raise upH6965 thy seedH2233 afterH310 thee, which shall be of thy sonsH1121; and I will establishH3559 his kingdomH4438.
He shall buildH1129 me an houseH1004, and I will stablishH3559 his throneH3678 forH5704 everH5769.
The kingsH4428 of TarshishH8659 and of the islesH339 shall bringH7725 presentsH4503: the kingsH4428 of ShebaH7614 and SebaH5434 shall offerH7126 giftsH814.
And DavidH1732 saidH559 to SolomonH8010, My sonH1121, as for me, it was in my mindH3824 to buildH1129 an houseH1004 unto the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 my GodH430:
But the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came to me, sayingH559, Thou hast shedH8210 bloodH1818 abundantlyH7230, and hast madeH6213 greatH1419 warsH4421: thou shalt not buildH1129 an houseH1004 unto my nameH8034, because thou hast shedH8210 muchH7227 bloodH1818 upon the earthH776 in my sightH6440.
Behold, a sonH1121 shall be bornH3205 to thee, who shall be a manH376 of restH4496; and I will give him restH5117 from all his enemiesH341 round aboutH5439: for his nameH8034 shall be SolomonH8010, and I will giveH5414 peaceH7965 and quietnessH8253 unto IsraelH3478 in his daysH3117. {Solomon: that is, Peaceable}
He shall buildH1129 an houseH1004 for my nameH8034; and he shall be my sonH1121, and I will be his fatherH1; and I will establishH3559 the throneH3678 of his kingdomH4438 over IsraelH3478 forH5704 everH5769.
Now, my sonH1121, the LORDH3068 be with thee; and prosperH6743 thou, and buildH1129 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, as he hath saidH1696 of thee.
Take heedH7200 now; for the LORDH3068 hath chosenH977 thee to buildH1129 an houseH1004 for the sanctuaryH4720: be strongH2388, and doH6213 it.
Then DavidH1732 gaveH5414 to SolomonH8010 his sonH1121 the patternH8403 of the porchH197, and of the housesH1004 thereof, and of the treasuriesH1597 thereof, and of the upper chambersH5944 thereof, and of the innerH6442 parloursH2315 thereof, and of the placeH1004 of the mercy seatH3727,
And the patternH8403 of all that he had by the spiritH7307, of the courtsH2691 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and of all the chambersH3957 round aboutH5439, of the treasuriesH214 of the houseH1004 of GodH430, and of the treasuriesH214 of the dedicated thingsH6944: {of all that…: Heb. of all that was with him}
Also for the coursesH4256 of the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881, and for all the workH4399 of the serviceH5656 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and for all the vesselsH3627 of serviceH5656 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.
He gave of goldH2091 by weightH4948 for things of goldH2091, for all instrumentsH3627 of all manner of serviceH5656; silver also for all instrumentsH3627 of silverH3701 by weightH4948, for all instrumentsH3627 of every kind of serviceH5656:
Even the weightH4948 for the candlesticksH4501 of goldH2091, and for their lampsH5216 of goldH2091, by weightH4948 for every candlestickH4501, and for the lampsH5216 thereof: and for the candlesticksH4501 of silverH3701 by weightH4948, both for the candlestickH4501, and also for the lampsH5216 thereof, according to the useH5656 of every candlestickH4501.
And by weightH4948 he gave goldH2091 for the tablesH7979 of shewbreadH4635, for every tableH7979; and likewise silverH3701 for the tablesH7979 of silverH3701:
Also pureH2889 goldH2091 for the fleshhooksH4207, and the bowlsH4219, and the cupsH7184: and for the goldenH2091 basonsH3713 he gave gold by weightH4948 for every basonH3713; and likewise silver by weightH4948 for every basonH3713 of silverH3701:
And for the altarH4196 of incenseH7004 refinedH2212 goldH2091 by weightH4948; and goldH2091 for the patternH8403 of the chariotH4818 of the cherubimsH3742, that spread outH6566 their wings, and coveredH5526 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068.
All this, said David, the LORDH3068 made me understandH7919 in writingH3791 by his handH3027 upon me, even all the worksH4399 of this patternH8403.
And DavidH1732 saidH559 to SolomonH8010 his sonH1121, Be strongH2388 and of good courageH553, and doH6213 it: fearH3372 not, nor be dismayedH2865: for the LORDH3068 GodH430, even my GodH430, will be with thee; he will not failH7503 thee, nor forsakeH5800 thee, until thou hast finishedH3615 all the workH4399 for the serviceH5656 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.
And, behold, the coursesH4256 of the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881, even they shall be with thee for all the serviceH5656 of the houseH1004 of GodH430: and there shall be with thee for all manner of workmanshipH4399 every willingH5081 skilful manH2451, for any manner of serviceH5656: also the princesH8269 and all the peopleH5971 will be wholly at thy commandmentH1697.
VowH5087, and payH7999 unto the LORDH3068 your GodH430: let all that be round aboutH5439 him bringH2986 presentsH7862 unto him that ought to be fearedH4172. {unto him…: Heb. to fear}
Moreover, because I have set my affectionH7521 to the houseH1004 of my GodH430, I haveH3426 of mine own proper goodH5459, of goldH2091 and silverH3701, which I have givenH5414 to the houseH1004 of my GodH430, over and aboveH4605 all that I have preparedH3559 for the holyH6944 houseH1004,
And she gaveH5414 the kingH4428 an hundredH3967 and twentyH6242 talentsH3603 of goldH2091, and of spicesH1314 veryH3966 great storeH7235, and preciousH3368 stonesH68: there cameH935 no more suchH1931 abundanceH7230 of spicesH1314 as these which the queenH4436 of ShebaH7614 gaveH5414 to kingH4428 SolomonH8010.
And the houseH1004 which I buildH1129 is greatH1419: for greatH1419 is our GodH430 above all godsH430.
And all the earthH776 soughtH1245 toH6440 SolomonH8010, to hearH8085 his wisdomH2451, which GodH430 had putH5414 in his heartH3820. {sought to: Heb. sought the face of}
But who is ableH6113+H3581 to buildH1129 him an houseH1004, seeing the heavenH8064 and heavenH8064 of heavensH8064 cannot containH3557 him? who am I then, that I should buildH1129 him an houseH1004, save onlyH518 to burn sacrificeH6999 beforeH6440 him? {is able: Heb. hath retained, or, obtained strength}
And they broughtH935 every manH376 his presentH4503, vesselsH3627 of silverH3701, and vesselsH3627 of goldH2091, and garmentsH8008, and armourH5402, and spicesH1314, horsesH5483, and mulesH6505, a rateH1697 yearH8141 by yearH8141.
But the LORDH3068 saidH559 to DavidH1732 my fatherH1, Forasmuch as it was in thine heartH3824 to buildH1129 an houseH1004 for my nameH8034, thou didst wellH2895 in that it was in thine heartH3824:
And HezekiahH3169 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1, and they buriedH6912 him in the chiefestH4608 of the sepulchresH6913 of the sonsH1121 of DavidH1732: and all JudahH3063 and the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389 did himH6213 honourH3519 at his deathH4194. And ManassehH4519 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead. {chiefest: or, highest}
NotwithstandingH7535 thou shalt not buildH1129 the houseH1004; but thy sonH1121 which shall come forthH3318 out of thy loinsH2504, he shall buildH1129 the houseH1004 for my nameH8034.
IH4481 makeH7761 a decreeH2942, that allH3606 they ofH4481 the peopleH5972 of IsraelH3479, and of his priestsH3549 and LevitesH3879, in my realmH4437, which are minded of their own freewillH5069 to go upH1946 to JerusalemH3390, goH1946 with theeH5974.
ForasmuchH1768+H6903 asH3606 thou art sentH7972 ofH4481+H6925 the kingH4430, and of his sevenH7655 counsellorsH3272, to enquireH1240 concerningH5922 JudahH3061 and JerusalemH3390, according to the lawH1882 of thy GodH426 which is in thine handH3028; {of the king: Chaldee, from before the king}
And to carryH2987 the silverH3702 and goldH1722, which the kingH4430 and his counsellorsH3272 have freely offeredH5069 unto the GodH426 of IsraelH3479, whoseH1768 habitationH4907 is in JerusalemH3390,
And allH3606 the silverH3702 and goldH1722 that thou canst findH7912 in allH3606 the provinceH4083 of BabylonH895, withH5974 the freewill offeringH5069 of the peopleH5972, and of the priestsH3549, offering willinglyH5069 for the houseH1005 of their GodH426 which is in JerusalemH3390:
ThatH3606+H6903 thou mayest buyH7066 speedilyH629 with thisH1836 moneyH3702 bullocksH8450, ramsH1798, lambsH563, with their meat offeringsH4504 and their drink offeringsH5261, and offerH7127 themH1994 uponH5922 the altarH4056 of the houseH1005 of your GodH426 which is in JerusalemH3390.
And whatsoeverH4101+H1768 shall seem goodH3191 to thee, and toH5922 thy brethrenH252, to doH5648 with the restH7606 of the silverH3702 and the goldH1722, that doH5648 after the willH7470 of your GodH426.
The vesselsH3984 also that are givenH3052 thee for the serviceH6402 of the houseH1005 of thy GodH426, those deliverH8000 thou beforeH6925 the GodH426 of JerusalemH3390.
And whatsoever moreH7606 shall be needfulH2819 for the houseH1005 of thy GodH426, which thou shalt have occasionH5308 to bestowH5415, bestowH5415 it out ofH4481 the king'sH4430 treasureH1596 houseH1005.
And IH4481, even IH576 ArtaxerxesH783 the kingH4430, do makeH7761 a decreeH2942 to allH3606 the treasurersH1490 which are beyondH5675 the riverH5103, that whatsoever EzraH5831 the priestH3549, the scribeH5613 of the lawH1882 of the GodH426 of heavenH8065, shall requireH7593 of you, it be doneH5648 speedilyH629,
UntoH5705 an hundredH3969 talentsH3604 of silverH3702, and to an hundredH3969 measuresH3734 of wheatH2591, and to an hundredH3969 bathsH1325 of wineH2562, and to an hundredH3969 bathsH1325 of oilH4887, and saltH4416 withoutH3809 prescribingH3792 how much. {measures: Chaldee, cors}
WhatsoeverH3606 is commanded byH2941+H4481 the GodH426 of heavenH8065, let it be diligentlyH149 doneH5648 for the houseH1005 of the GodH426 of heavenH8065: forH1768 whyH4101 should there beH1934 wrathH7109 againstH5922 the realmH4437 of the kingH4430 and his sonsH1123? {Whatsoever…: Chaldee, Whatsoever is of the decree}
Also we certifyH3046 you, that touching anyH3606 of the priestsH3549 and LevitesH3879, singersH2171, portersH8652, NethinimsH5412, or ministersH6399 of thisH1836 houseH1005 of GodH426, it shall notH3809 be lawfulH7990 to imposeH7412 tollH4061, tributeH1093, or customH1983, uponH5922 them.
And thouH607, EzraH5831, after the wisdomH2452 of thy GodH426, that is in thine handH3028, setH4483 magistratesH8200 and judgesH1782, which may judgeH1934+H1778 allH3606 the peopleH5972 that are beyondH5675 the riverH5103, allH3606 such as knowH3046 the lawsH1882 of thy GodH426; and teachH3046 ye them that knowH3046 them notH3809.
And whosoeverH3606 will notH3809 doH1934+H5648 the lawH1882 of thy GodH426, and the lawH1882 of the kingH4430, let judgmentH1780 beH1934 executedH5648 speedilyH629 upon himH4481, whetherH2006 it be unto deathH4193, orH2006 to banishmentH8332, orH2006 to confiscationH6065 of goodsH5232, or to imprisonmentH613. {to banishment: Chaldee, to rooting out}
BlessedH1288 be the LORDH3068 GodH430 of our fathersH1, which hath putH5414 such a thing as this in the king'sH4428 heartH3820, to beautifyH6286 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 which is in JerusalemH3389:
And hath extendedH5186 mercyH2617 unto me beforeH6440 the kingH4428, and his counsellorsH3289, and before all the king'sH4428 mightyH1368 princesH8269. And I was strengthenedH2388 as the handH3027 of the LORDH3068 my GodH430 was upon me, and I gathered togetherH6908 out of IsraelH3478 chief menH7218 to go upH5927 with me.
And a letterH107 unto AsaphH623 the keeperH8104 of the king'sH4428 forestH6508, that he may giveH5414 me timberH6086 to make beamsH7136 for the gatesH8179 of the palaceH1002 which appertained to the houseH1004, and for the wallH2346 of the cityH5892, and for the houseH1004 that I shall enter intoH935. And the kingH4428 grantedH5414 me, according to the goodH2896 handH3027 of my GodH430 upon me.
The multitudeH8229 of camelsH1581 shall coverH3680 thee, the dromedariesH1070 of MidianH4080 and EphahH5891; all they from ShebaH7614 shall comeH935: they shall bringH5375 goldH2091 and incenseH3828; and they shall shew forthH1319 the praisesH8416 of the LORDH3068.
All the flocksH6629 of KedarH6938 shall be gathered togetherH6908 unto thee, the ramsH352 of NebaiothH5032 shall ministerH8334 unto thee: they shall come upH5927 with acceptanceH7522 on mine altarH4196, and I will glorifyH6286 the houseH1004 of my gloryH8597.
Who are these that flyH5774 as a cloudH5645, and as the dovesH3123 to their windowsH699?
Surely the islesH339 shall waitH6960 for me, and the shipsH591 of TarshishH8659 firstH7223, to bringH935 thy sonsH1121 from farH7350, their silverH3701 and their goldH2091 with them, unto the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, and to the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478, because he hath glorifiedH6286 thee.
And the sonsH1121 of strangersH5236 shall build upH1129 thy wallsH2346, and their kingsH4428 shall ministerH8334 unto thee: for in my wrathH7110 I smoteH5221 thee, but in my favourH7522 have I had mercyH7355 on thee.
Therefore thy gatesH8179 shall be openH6605 continuallyH8548; they shall not be shutH5462 dayH3119 nor nightH3915; that men may bringH935 unto thee the forcesH2428 of the GentilesH1471, and that their kingsH4428 may be broughtH5090. {forces: or, wealth}
