Psalms 68:16-24

¹⁶why do you look enviously, mountain with many peaks, at the mountain God chose as his home, where the Lord will live forever?

¹⁷God's chariots can't be counted; there are thousands and thousands of them. He comes among them from Sinai into his Temple.

¹⁸As you ascended to your high throne you led a procession of prisoners. You received gifts from the people, even from those who had rebelled against the home of the Lord God.

¹⁹May the Lord be blessed, for every day he carries our burdens. God is our salvation. Selah.

²⁰For us, God is a God who saves. The Lord God provides our escape from death.

²¹But God will crush the heads of his enemies, the hairy heads of those who continue to sin.

²²The Lord says, “I will drag them down from Bashan; I will drag them up from the depths of the sea,

²³so that you may walk in their blood. Even your dogs will have their share of your enemies.”

²⁴People watch your processions, God—the processions of my God and King as they go into the Temple.
