Psalms 68:5-18

5A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is GodH430 in his holy habitation.

6GodH430 setteth the solitary in familiesH1: he bringeth out the prisoners into prosperity: but the rebellious dwell in a parched land.

7O GodH430, when thou wentest forthH3318 beforeH430 thy peopleH3427, when thou didst marchH3318 throughH389 the wilderness; Selah

8The earth trembled, the heavens also dropped at the presenceH6440 of GodH430: even yon Sinai trembled at the presenceH6440 of GodH430, the GodH430 of IsraelH5971.

9Thou, O GodH430, didst send a plentiful rain, thou didst confirm thine inheritance, when it was weary.

10Thy congregation dwelt therein: thou, O GodH430, didst prepareH3559 of thy goodness for the poor.

11The Lord giveth the word: the women that publish the tidings are a greatH430 host.

12Kings of armiesH6635 flee, they flee: and she that tarrieth at home divideth the spoil.

13Will ye lie among the sheepfoldsH5116, as the wings of a dove covered with silver, and her pinions with yellow gold?

14When the Almighty scattered kings therein, it was as when it snoweth in Zalmon.

15A mountain of God is the mountain of Bashan; an high mountain is the mountain of Bashan.

16Why look ye askance, ye high mountainsH2022, at the mountainH2022 whichH2022 GodH430 hath desired for his abode? yea, the LORD will dwell in it for ever.

17The chariots of GodH430 are twenty thousand, evenH637 thousands uponH3427 thousands: the LordH3068 is among them, as in Sinai, in the sanctuary.

18Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led thy captivity captive; thou hast received giftsH6944 among men, yea, among the rebellious also, that the LORDH136 GodH430 might dwell with them.
