Psalm 68:5-18

English Standard Version

⁵^(A)Father of the fatherless and ^(B)protector of widows
    is God in his holy habitation.
⁶God ^(C)settles the solitary in a home;
    he ^(D)leads out the prisoners to prosperity,
    but ^(E)the rebellious dwell in ^(F)a parched land.

⁷O God, when you ^(G)went out before your people,
    ^(H)when you marched through ^(I)the wilderness, Selah
⁸^(J)the earth quaked, the heavens poured down rain,
    before God, the One of Sinai,
    before God,^[a] the God of Israel.
⁹^(K)Rain in abundance, O God, you shed abroad;
    you restored your inheritance as it languished;
¹⁰your flock^[b] found a dwelling in it;
    in your goodness, O God, you ^(L)provided for the needy.

¹¹The Lord gives ^(M)the word;
    ^(N)the women who announce the news are a great host:
¹²    ^(O)“The kings of the armies—they flee, they flee!”
The women at home ^(P)divide the spoil—
¹³    though you men lie among ^(Q)the sheepfolds—
the wings of a dove covered with silver,
    its pinions with shimmering gold.
¹⁴When the Almighty scatters kings there,
    let snow fall on ^(R)Zalmon.

¹⁵O mountain of God, mountain of Bashan;
    O many-peaked^[c] mountain, mountain of Bashan!
¹⁶Why do you look with hatred, O many-peaked mountain,
    at the mount that God ^(S)desired for his abode,
    yes, where the Lord will dwell forever?
¹⁷^(T)The chariots of God are twice ten thousand,
    thousands upon thousands;
    the Lord is among them; Sinai is now in the sanctuary.
¹⁸^(U)You ascended on high,
    ^(V)leading a host of captives in your train
    and ^(W)receiving gifts among men,
even among ^(X)the rebellious, ^(Y)that the Lord God may dwell there.
