Psalms 68:5-18
5A 1fatherH1 of the fatherlessH3490 and a 2judgeH1781 3for the widowsH490, Is GodH430 in His 4holyH6944 habitationH4583.6GodH430 56makesH3427 a homeH1004 for the lonelyH3173; He 7leadsH3318 out the prisonersH615 into prosperityH3574, OnlyH389 8the rebelliousH5637 dwellH7931 in a parchedH6707 landH6707.
7O GodH430, when You 9wentH3318 forthH3318 beforeH6440 Your peopleH5971, When You 10marchedH6805 through the wildernessH3452, 11SelahH5542.8The 12earthH776 quakedH7493; The 13heavensH8064 alsoH637 droppedH5197 rain at the presenceH6440 of GodH430; 1415SinaiH5514 itselfH2088 quaked at the presenceH6440 of GodH430, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478.9You 16shedH5130 abroadH5130 a plentifulH5071 rainH1653, O GodH430; You confirmedH3559 Your inheritanceH5159 when it was 17parchedH3811.10Your creaturesH2421 settledH3427 in it; You 18providedH3559 in Your goodnessH2899 for the poorH6041, O GodH430.
11The LordH136 givesH5414 the 19commandH561; The 20women who proclaimH1319 the good tidingsH1319 are a greatH7227 hostH6635:12“21KingsH4428 of armiesH6635 fleeH5074, they fleeH5074, And she whoH5116 remainsH5116 at homeH1004 will 22divideH2505 the spoilH7998!”1323WhenH518 you lieH7901 downH7901 24amongH996 the 25sheepfoldsH8240, You are like the wingsH3671 of a doveH3123 coveredH2645 with silverH3701, And its pinionsH84 with glisteningH3422 goldH2742.14When the AlmightyH7706 26scatteredH6566 the kingsH4428 27there, It was snowingH7949 in 28ZalmonH6756.
15A 2930mountainH2022 of GodH430 is the mountainH2022 of BashanH1316; A mountainH2022 of many peaksH1386 is the mountainH2022 of BashanH1316.16WhyH4100 do you lookH7520 with envyH7520, O mountainsH2022 with many peaksH1386, At the mountainH2022 which GodH430 has 31desiredH2530 for His abodeH3427? SurelyH637 32the LordH3068 will dwellH7931 there foreverH5331.17The 33chariotsH7393 of GodH430 are 34myriadsH7239, 35thousandsH8136 upon thousandsH505; 36The LordH136 is among them as at SinaiH5514, in holinessH6944.18You have 37ascendedH5927 on highH4791, You have 38ledH7617 captiveH7617 Your captivesH7628; You have receivedH3947 giftsH4979 among menH120, Even among the rebelliousH5637 alsoH637, that 39the LordH3050 GodH430 may dwellH7931 there.
