Psalms 68:6-19

⁶God brings home the lonely, he leads forth the prisoner to comfort, so that none but the rebel lives cheerless.

⁷God, when you went in front of your people in your march through the desert, Selah

⁸earth shook, the heavens poured rain at the presence of God, Sinai's God at the presence of God, Israel's God.

⁹Rain in abundance, God, you did sprinkle, restoring the languishing land of your heritage.

¹⁰A dwelling therein your people found: in your goodness, O God, you did care for the poor.

¹¹The Lord spoke the glad tidings of victory, a great army of women proclaim it:

¹²“Kings of armies they flee, they flee, and the housewife divides the spoil:

¹³dove's wings covered with silver and pinions with shimmer of gold,

¹⁴set with stones, like snow upon Zalmon.”

¹⁵A mountain of God is the mountain of Bashan, a mountain of peaks is the mountain of Bashan.

¹⁶You high-peaked mountains, why look you askance at the mountain which God has desired for his home whereon the Lord will live forever?

¹⁷The chariots of God are twice ten thousand: the Lord came from Sinai, his holy place.

¹⁸You did mount the height with trains of your captives, and gifts that you had received from the people. The rebels shall live with the Lord God.

¹⁹Blest be the Lord who sustains us daily, the God who is also our saviour. Selah
