Psalms 68:7-23

Psalms 68:7-23 NCV

God, you led your people out when you marched through the desert.Selah The ground shook and the sky poured down rain before God, the God of Mount Sinai, before God, the God of Israel. God, you sent much rain; you refreshed your tired land. Your people settled there. God, in your goodness you took care of the poor. The Lord gave the command, and a great army told the news: “Kings and their armies run away. In camp they divide the wealth taken in war. Those who stayed by the campfires will share the riches taken in battle.” The Almighty scattered kings like snow on Mount Zalmon. The mountains of Bashan are high; the mountains of Bashan have many peaks. Why do you mountains with many peaks look with envy on the mountain that God chose for his home? The LORD will live there forever. God comes with millions of chariots; the Lord comes from Mount Sinai to his holy place. When you went up to the heights, you led a parade of captives. You received gifts from the people, even from those who turned against you. And the LORD God will live there. Praise the Lord, God our Savior, who helps us every day.Selah Our God is a God who saves us; the LORD God saves us from death. God will crush his enemies’ heads, the hairy skulls of those who continue to sin. The Lord said, “I will bring the enemy back from Bashan; I will bring them back from the depths of the sea. Then you can stick your feet in their blood, and your dogs can lick their share.”
