Psalms 68:8-17

8the earth trembled and the skies poured rain before God, the God of Sinai, before God, the God of Israel.

9You, God, showered abundant rain; you revived your inheritance when it languished.

10Your people settled in it; God, you provided for the poor by your goodness.

11The Lord gave the command; a great company of women brought the good news:

12“The kings of the armies flee — they flee!” She who stays at home divides the spoil.

13While you lie among the sheep pens, the wings of a dove are covered with silver, and its feathers with glistening gold.

14When the Almighty scattered kings in the land, it snowed on Zalmon.

15Mount Bashan is God’s towering mountain; Mount Bashan is a mountain of many peaks.

16Why gaze with envy, you mountain peaks, at the mountain God desired for his abode? The Lord will dwell there forever!

17God’s chariots are tens of thousands, thousands and thousands; the Lord is among them in the sanctuary as he was at Sinai.
