Psalms 68:6-19

⁶(68:7) God places those who are solitary in the midst of their families: he bringeth out those who are bound unto happiness; but the rebellious dwell in a dry land.

⁷(68:8) O God, when thou didst go forth before thy people, when thou didst tread along through the wilderness—Selah—

⁸(68:9) The earth quaked, also the heavens dropped at the presence of God, yea, this Sinai, at the presence of God, the God of Israel.

⁹(68:10) Rain of beneficence didst thou pour down, O God, whereby thou didst truly strengthen thy heritage, when it was weary.

¹⁰(68:11) Thy assembly dwelt therein: thou didst prepare it with thy goodness for the afflicted people. O God,

¹¹(68:12) The Lord gave happy tidings; they are published by the female messengers, a numerous host.

¹²(68:13) The kings of the armies flee away—flee away: yet she that tarried at home divideth the spoil.

¹³(68:14) When ye lie still between the folds of your cattle, ye will be like the wings of the dove covered with sliver, and her pinions shining with flaming gold.

¹⁴(68:15) When the Almighty scattered kings in the midst of her, then even in darkness shone light as pure as snow.

¹⁵(68:16) A mountain of God is the mount of Bashan; many peaks hath the mount of Bashan.

¹⁶(68:17) Why watch ye enviously, ye many-peaked mountains, yonder mountain which God hath chosen for his residence? yea, the Lord will also dwell there for ever.

¹⁷(68:18) The chariots of God are two myriads; thousands of angels follow him: the Lord is among them: so is Sinai holy among mountains.

¹⁸(68:19) Thou didst ascend on high, lead away captives, receive gifts among men, yea, even the rebellious, to dwell among them. O Lord God.

¹⁹(68:20) Blessed be the Lord; day by day he loadeth us with benefits; our God is our salvation. Selah.
