Context of Psalms 68:11
9You made plentiful rain fall, God; You confirmed Your inheritance when it was parched. 10Your creatures settled in it; In Your kindness You provided for the poor, God. The Lord gives the command; The women who proclaim good news are a great army: 12“Kings of armies flee, they flee, And she who remains at home will divide the spoils!” 13When you lie down among the sheepfolds, You are like the wings of a dove covered with silver, And its pinions with glistening gold.
