Context of Psalms 68:11
9the earth shook, the heavens rained at the presence of God —the One of Sinai— at the presence of God, God of Israel. 10You poured down abundant rain, O God. You sustained Your weary inheritance. Your community settled in it. In Your goodness, O God, You provided for the poor. 12The Lord gives the word— a great company of women proclaims the good news. 13“Kings of armies, flee, flee!” She who stays at home divides the spoil.
