Salmos 68:12-22

12 Los reyes enemigos y sus ejércitos huyen,
mientras las mujeres de Israel reparten el botín.
13 Hasta los que vivían entre los rediles encontraron tesoros,
palomas con alas de plata
y plumas de oro.
14 El Todopoderoso esparció a los reyes enemigos
como una tormenta de nieve que sopla en el monte Salmón.
15 Las montañas de Basán son majestuosas,
con muchas cumbres altas que llegan al cielo.
16 Oh montañas empinadas, ¿por qué miran con envidia
al monte Sión, donde Dios decidió vivir,
donde el Señor
vivirá para siempre?
17 Rodeado de incontables millares de carros de guerra,
el Señor llegó del monte Sinaí y entró en su santuario.
18 Cuando ascendiste a las alturas,
llevaste a una multitud de cautivos;
recibiste regalos de la gente,
incluso de quienes se rebelaron contra ti.
Ahora el Señor
Dios vivirá allí, en medio de nosotros.
19 ¡Alaben al Señor, alaben a Dios nuestro salvador!
Pues cada día nos lleva en sus brazos.
Interludio
20 ¡Nuestro Dios es un Dios que salva!
El Señor
Soberano nos rescata de la muerte.
21 Pero Dios aplastará las cabezas de sus enemigos,
aplastará los cráneos de los que aman sus caminos perversos.
22 El Señor dice: «Haré descender a mis enemigos desde Basán;
los levantaré desde las profundidades del mar.

Salmos 68:12-22 Meaning and Commentary

To the chief Musician, A Psalm [or] Song of David. The Targum makes the argument of this psalm to be the coming of the children of Israel out of Egypt, and the giving of the law on Mount Sinai; in which it is followed by many of the Jewish interpreters: but Aben Ezra rejects such an interpretation of it, and thinks that David composed it, concerning the war he had with the uncircumcised nations, the Philistines and others, 2 Samuel 8:1, &c. And so the title of the Syriac version begins, "a psalm of David, when the kings prepared themselves to fight against him:" and Kimchi says it was composed on account of Sennacherib's army coming against Jerusalem, in the times of Hezekiah, and so delivered by David, under a spirit of prophecy concerning that affair; though he owns that some of their writers interpret it of the war of Gog and Magog, in the times of the Messiah they yet expect. But they are much nearer the truth, who take it that it was written on occasion of the ark being brought to the city of David; seeing it begins with much the same words that Moses used when the ark set forward in his times, Numbers 10:35; and the bringing of which was attended with great joy and gladness, 2 Samuel 6:14; such as the righteous are called upon to express in this psalm, Psalm 68:3. And this being a type of Christ, and of his ascending the holy hill of God, may be allowed of; for certain it is that this psalm treats of the coming of Christ, and of blessings by him, and of victory over his enemies; and particularly of his ascension to heaven, as most evidently appears from Ephesians 4:8; and from prophecies in it, concerning the calling of the Gentiles. Wherefore the latter part of the Syriac inscription of it is very pertinent; "also a prophecy concerning the dispensation of the Messiah, and concerning the calling of the Gentiles to the faith." Jarchi interprets Psalm 68:31 of the Messiah.
