Psalms 68:5-18

5A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows,Is God in his holy habitation.6God setteth the solitary in families:He bringeth out the prisoners into prosperity;But the rebellious dwell in a parched land.7O God, when thou wentest forth before thy people,When thou didst march through the wilderness;[Selah8The earth trembled,The heavens also dropped rain at the presence of God:Yon Sinai trembled at the presence of God, the God of Israel.9Thou, O God, didst send a plentiful rain,Thou didst confirm thine inheritance, when it was weary.10Thy congregation dwelt therein:Thou, O God, didst prepare of thy goodness for the poor.11The Lord giveth the word:The women that publish the tidings are a great host.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.14When 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.17The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands upon thousands:The Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in the sanctuary.18Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led away captives;Thou hast received gifts among men,Yea, among the rebellious also, that Jehovah God might dwell with them.
