Psalms 68:5-18

5A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows,Is GodH430 in his holy habitation.6GodH430 setteth the solitary in families:He bringeth out the prisoners into prosperity;But the rebellious dwell in a parched land.7O GodH430, when thou wentest forthH3318 before thy people,When thou didst march through the wilderness;[Selah8The earth trembled,The heavens also dropped rain at the presenceH6440 of GodH430:Yon Sinai trembled at the presenceH6440 of GodH430, the GodH430 of Israel.9Thou, O GodH430, didst send a plentiful rain,Thou didst confirm thine inheritance, when it was weary.10Thy congregation dwelt therein:Thou, O GodH430, didst prepareH3559 of thy goodness for the poor.11The Lord giveth the word:The women that publish the tidings are a great host.12Kings of armiesH6635 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 mountainsH2022,At the mountainH2022 which GodH430 hath desired for his abode?Yea, Jehovah will dwell in it for ever.17The chariots of GodH430 are twenty thousand, evenH637 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 GodH430 might dwell with them.
