5A fatherH1 of the fatherlessH3490 and a defenderH1781 of widowsH490 is GodH430 in His holyH6944 habitationH4583.6GodH430 settlesH3427 the lonelyH3173 in familiesH1004; He leadsH3318 the prisoners outH615 to prosperityH3574, butH389 the rebelliousH5637 dwellH7931 in a sun-scorchedH6707 land.

7O GodH430, when You went outH3318 beforeH6440 Your peopleH5971,when You marchedH6805 through the wastelandH3452,SelahH55428the earthH776 shookH7493 andH637 the heavensH8064 poured downH5197 rainbeforeH6440 GodH430, the OneH2088 on SinaiH5514,beforeH6440 GodH430, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478.9You sentH5130 abundantH5071 rainH1653, O GodH430;YouH859 refreshedH3559 Your wearyH3811 inheritanceH5159.10Your flockH2416 settledH3427 therein;O GodH430, from Your bountyH2896 You providedH3559 for the poorH6041.

11The LordH136 givesH5414 the commandH562;a greatH7227 companyH6635 of women proclaimH1319 it:12“KingsH4428 and their armiesH6635 flee in hasteH5074;she who waitsH5116 at homeH1004 dividesH2505 the plunderH7998.13ThoughH518 you lie downH7901 amongH996 the sheepfoldsH8240,the wingsH3671 of the doveH3123 are coveredH2645 with silverH3701,and her feathersH3422 with shimmeringH84 goldH2742.”14When the AlmightyH7706 1 scatteredH6566 the kingsH4428 in the land,it was like the snow fallingH7949 on ZalmonH6756.

15A mountainH2022 of GodH430 is MountH2022 BashanH1316;a mountainH2022 of many peaksH1386 is MountH2022 BashanH1316.16WhyH4100 do you gaze in envyH7520, O mountainsH2022 of many peaksH1386?This is the mountainH2022 GodH430 choseH2530 for His dwellingH3427,where the LORDH3068 will surelyH637 dwellH7931 foreverH5331.

17The chariotsH7393 of GodH430 are tens of thousandsH7239—thousandsH505 of thousandsH8136 are they;the LordH136 is in His sanctuaryH6944as He was at SinaiH5514.218You have ascendedH5927 on highH4791;You have led captives awayH7628 H7617.You have receivedH3947 giftsH4979 from menH120,3evenH637 from the rebelliousH5637,that the LORDH3050 GodH430 may dwellH7931 there.
