Psalms 68:8-17

8The 1earth quaked; The 2heavens also dropped rain at the presence of God; 34Sinai itself quaked at the presence of God, the God of Israel.9You 5shed abroad a plentiful rain, O God; You confirmed Your inheritance when it was 6parched.10Your creatures settled in it; You 7provided in Your goodness for the poor, O God.

11The Lord gives the 8command; The 9women who proclaim the good tidings are a great host:12“10Kings of armies flee, they flee, And she who remains at home will 11divide the spoil!”1312When you lie down 13among the 14sheepfolds, You are like the wings of a dove covered with silver, And its pinions with glistening gold.14When the Almighty 15scattered the kings 16there, It was snowing in 17Zalmon.

15A 1819mountain of God is the mountain of Bashan; A mountain of many peaks is the mountain of Bashan.16Why do you look with envy, O mountains with many peaks, At the mountain which God has 20desired for His abode? Surely 21the Lord will dwell there forever.17The 22chariots of God are 23myriads, 24thousands upon thousands; 25The Lord is among them as at Sinai, in holiness.
