Psalms 68:5-18

5A fatherH1 of the fatherlessH3490, and a judgeH1781 of the widowsH490, is GodH430 in his holyH6944 habitationH4583.

6GodH430 settethH3427 the solitaryH3173 in familiesH1004: he bringeth outH3318 those which are boundH615 with chainsH3574: but the rebelliousH5637 dwellH7931 in a dryH6707 land.1

7O GodH430, when thou wentest forthH3318 beforeH6440 thy peopleH5971, when thou didst marchH6805 through the wildernessH3452; SelahH5542:

8The earthH776 shookH7493, the heavensH8064 also droppedH5197 at the presenceH6440 of GodH430: even SinaiH5514 itselfH2088 was moved at the presenceH6440 of GodH430, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478.

9Thou, O GodH430, didst sendH5130 a plentifulH5071 rainH1653, whereby thou didst confirmH3559 thine inheritanceH5159, when it was wearyH3811.23

10Thy congregationH2416 hath dweltH3427 therein: thou, O GodH430, hast preparedH3559 of thy goodnessH2896 for the poorH6041.

11The LordH136 gaveH5414 the wordH562: greatH7227 was the companyH6635 of those that publishedH1319 it.4

12KingsH4428 of armiesH6635 did fleeH5074 apaceH5074: and she that tarriedH5116 at homeH1004 dividedH2505 the spoilH7998.5

13Though ye have lienH7901 among the potsH8240, yet shall ye be as the wingsH3671 of a doveH3123 coveredH2645 with silverH3701, and her feathersH84 with yellowH3422 goldH2742.

14When the AlmightyH7706 scatteredH6566 kingsH4428 in it, it was white as snowH7949 in SalmonH6756.6

15The hillH2022 of GodH430 is as the hillH2022 of BashanH1316; an highH1386 hillH2022 as the hillH2022 of BashanH1316.

16Why leapH7520 ye, ye highH1386 hillsH2022? this is the hillH2022 which GodH430 desirethH2530 to dwell inH3427; yea, YhwhH3068 will dwellH7931 in it for everH5331.

17The chariotsH7393 of GodH430 are twenty thousandH7239, even thousandsH505 of angelsH8136: the LordH136 is among them, as in SinaiH5514, in the holyH6944 place.7

18Thou hast ascendedH5927 on highH4791, thou hast led captivityH7628 captiveH7617: thou hast receivedH3947 giftsH4979 for menH120; yea, for the rebelliousH5637 also, that YahH3050 GodH430 might dwellH7931 among them.8
