7. O God, when you went in front of your people,when you marched through the desert, Selah
8. the earth quaked and the sky pouredin the presence of the God of Sinai,in the presence of the God of Israel.
9. You watered the land with plenty of rain, O God.You refreshed it when your land was exhausted.
10. Your flock settled there.Out of your goodness, O God,you provided for oppressed people.
11. The Lord gives instructions.The women who announce the good news are a large army.
12. ⌊They say,⌋ “The kings of the armies flee; they run away.The women who remained at home will divide the goods.
13. Though you stayed among the sheep pens,⌊you will be like⌋ the wings of a dove covered with silver,its feathers with yellow gold.
14. Meanwhile, the Almighty was still scattering kings therelike snow falling on Mount Zalmon.”
15. The mountain of Bashan is the mountain of God.The mountain of Bashan is the mountain with many peaks.
16. Why do you look with envy, you mountains with many peaks,at the mountain where God has chosen to live?Certainly, the Lord will live there forever.
17. The chariots of God are twenty thousand in number,thousands upon thousands.The Lord is among them.⌊The God of⌋ Sinai is in his holy place.
18. You went to the highest place.You took prisoners captive.You received gifts from people,even from rebellious people, so that the Lord God may live there.
19. Thanks be to the Lord,who daily carries our burdens for us.God is our salvation. Selah
20. Our God is the God of victories.The Almighty Lord is our escape from death.
21. Certainly, God will crush the heads of his enemies⌊and destroy even⌋ the hair on the headsof those who continue to be guilty.
22. The Lord said, “I will bring them back from Bashan.I will bring them back from the depths of the sea
23. so that you, ⌊my people,⌋ may bathe your feet in bloodand the tongues of your dogsmay lick the blood of your enemies.”
