Psalms 68:8-17

8the earth quaked, the heavens poured down rain, before God, the One of Sinai, before God, the God of Israel.

9Rain in abundance, O God, you shed abroad; you restored your inheritance as it languished;

10your flock found a dwelling in it; in your goodness, O God, you provided for the needy.

11The Lord gives the word; the women who announce the news are a great host:

12"The kings of the armies—they flee, they flee!" The women at home divide the spoil—

13though you men lie among the sheepfolds— the wings of a dove covered with silver, its pinions with shimmering gold.

14When the Almighty scatters kings there, let snow fall on Zalmon.

15O mountain of God, mountain of Bashan; O many-peaked mountain, mountain of Bashan!

16Why do you look with hatred, O many-peaked mountain, at the mount that God desired for his abode, yes, where the Lord will dwell forever?

17The chariots of God are twice ten thousand, thousands upon thousands; the Lord is among them; Sinai is now in the sanctuary.
