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 5made plentiful rain fall, God; You confirmed Your inheritance when it was 6parched.10Your creatures settled in it; In Your kindness You 7provided for the poor, God.
11The Lord gives the 8command; The 9women who proclaim good news are a great army:12“10Kings of armies flee, they flee, And she who remains at home will 11divide the spoils!”1312When you lie down 13among the sheepfolds, You are like the wings of a dove covered with silver, And its pinions with 14glistening gold.14When the Almighty 15scattered the kings 16there, It was snowing in 17Zalmon.
1518The mountain of Bashan is a 19mountain of God; The mountain of Bashan is a mountain of many peaks.16Why do you look with envy, you mountains of many peaks, At the mountain God has 20desired as His dwelling? Indeed, 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.
