12. “The armies of powerful kings ran away! At home, the women divide the things brought from the battle.
13. Those who stayed home will share in the wealth— metal doves with wings covered in silver and feathers sparkling with gold.”
14. God All-Powerful scattered the kings like snow falling on Mount Zalmon.
15. Mount Bashan is a great mountain with many high peaks.
16. But, Bashan, why are you jealous of Mount Zion? That is where God has chosen to live. The Lord will live there forever.
17. With his millions of chariots, the Lord came from Sinai into the holy place.
18. You went up to your high place, leading a parade of captives. You received gifts from people, even those who turned against you. The Lord God went up there to live.
19. Praise the Lord! Every day he helps us with the loads we must carry. He is the God who saves us. Selah
20. He is our God, the God who saves us. My Lord GOD saves us from death.
21. God will smash the heads of his enemies. He will punish those who fight against him.
22. My Lord said, “If they run up to Bashan or down to the depths of the sea, I will bring them back.
23. So you will march through pools of their blood, and there will be plenty left for your dogs.”
24. God, everyone can see your victory parade— the victory march of my God and King into his holy place!
