8(68-9) The earth trembled, the heavens also dropped at the presence of God; even yon Sinai trembled at the presence of God, the God of Israel.
9(68-10) A bounteous rain didst Thou pour down, O God; when Thine inheritance was weary, Thou didst confirm it.
10(68-11) Thy flock settled therein; Thou didst prepare in Thy goodness for the poor, O God.
11(68-12) The Lord giveth the word; the women that proclaim the tidings are a great host.
12(68-13) Kings of armies flee, they flee; and she that tarrieth at home divideth the spoil.
13(68-14) When ye lie among the sheepfolds, the wings of the dove are covered with silver, and her pinions with the shimmer of gold.
14(68-15) When the Almighty scattereth kings therein, it snoweth in Zalmon.
15(68-16) A mountain of God is the mountain of Bashan; a mountain of peaks is the mountain of Bashan.
16(68-17) Why look ye askance, ye mountains of peaks, at the mountain which God hath desired for His abode? Yea, the LORD will dwell therein for ever.
17(68-18) The chariots of God are myriads, even thousands upon thousands; the Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in holiness.
18(68-19) Thou hast ascended on high, Thou hast led captivity captive; Thou hast received gifts among men, yea, among the rebellious also, that the LORD God might dwell there.
19(68-20) Blessed be the Lord, day by day He beareth our burden, even the God who is our salvation. Selah
20(68-21) God is unto us a God of deliverances; and unto GOD the Lord belong the issues of death.
21(68-22) Surely God will smite through the head of His enemies, the hairy scalp of him that goeth about in his guiltiness.
