Context of Psalms 68:10
8The earth shook; The heavens also dropped rain at the presence of God; Sinai itself was moved at the presence of God, the God of Israel. 9You, O God, sent a plentiful rain, Whereby You confirmed Your inheritance, When it was weary. Your congregation dwelt in it; You, O God, provided from Your goodness for the poor. 11The Lord gave the word; Great was the company of those who proclaimed it: 12“Kings of armies flee, they flee, And she who remains at home divides the spoil.
