Context of Psalms 68:14

12Kings of armies flee, they flee; And she that tarrieth at home divideth the spoil. 13When ye lie among the sheepfolds, It is asthe wings of a dove covered with silver, And her pinions with yellow gold. When the Almighty scattered kings therein, It was as whenit snoweth in Zalmon. 15A mountain of God is the mountain of Bashan; A high mountain is the mountain of Bashan. 16Why look ye askance, ye high mountains, At the mountain which God hath desired for his abode? Yea, Jehovah will dwell in it for ever.

• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 7-14Verses 7-14 Fresh mercies should put us in mind of former mercies.
