Context of Psalms 68:10
8Then the ground shook, and rain poured down from the sky. You showed your power at Sinai mountain. You are the God who rules at Sinai. You are the God that Israel's people serve. 9God, you caused much rain to fall on your special land. You made it fresh again when it had been dry. Your own people came to live in it. God, because you are kind, you gave many good things to poor people. 11The Lord gives a command! Very many women take his message to other places. 12Kings with large armies quickly run away. Yes, they run away! The women at home share the valuable things that the armies have left behind.
