Context of Psalms 68:10
8The earth trembled, the heavens also dropped at the presence of God: even yon Sinai trembled at the presence of God, the God of Israel. 9Thou, O God, didst send a plentiful rain, thou didst confirm thine inheritance, when it was weary. Thy congregation dwelt therein: thou, O God, didst prepare of thy goodness for the poor. 11The Lord giveth the word: the women that publish the tidings are a great host. 12Kings of armies flee, they flee: and she that tarrieth at home divideth the spoil.
