Psalms 68:8-25

⁸The earth trembled, the heavens also dropped at the presence of God, yon Sinai, at the presence of God, the God of Israel.

⁹Thou, O God, didst pour a plentiful rain upon thine inheritance, and when it was weary thou strengthenedst it.

¹⁰Thy flock hath dwelt therein: thou hast prepared in thy goodness, for the afflicted, O God!

¹¹The Lord gives the word: great the host of the publishers.

¹²Kings of armies flee; they flee, and she that tarrieth at home divideth the spoil.

¹³Though ye have lain among the sheepfolds, ye shall be as wings of a dove covered with silver, and her feathers with green gold.

¹⁴When the Almighty scattered kings in it, it became snow-white as Zalmon.

¹⁵As mount Bashan is the mount of God, a many-peaked mountain, as mount Bashan.

¹⁶Why do ye look with envy, ye many-peaked mountains, upon the mount that God hath desired for his abode? yea, Jehovah will dwell there for ever.

¹⁷The chariots of God are twenty thousand, thousands upon thousands; the Lord is among them: it is a Sinai in holiness.

¹⁸Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive: thou hast received gifts in Man, and even for the rebellious, for the dwelling there of Jah Elohim.

¹⁹Blessed be the Lord: day by day doth he load us with good, the God who is our salvation. Selah.

²⁰Our God is the God of salvation; and with Jehovah, the Lord, are the goings forth even from death.

²¹Verily God will smite the head of his enemies, the hairy scalp of him that goeth on still in his trespasses.

²²The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will bring them again from the depth of the sea;

²³That thou mayest dip thy foot in blood: the tongue of thy dogs has its portion from enemies.

²⁴They have seen thy goings, O God, the goings of my God, my King, in the sanctuary.

²⁵The singers went before, the players on stringed instruments after, in the midst of maidens playing on tabrets.
