Psalms 68:7-22 Modern English Version (MEV)

7. O God, when You went forth before Your people,when You marched through the wasteland, Selah

8. the earth shook;the heavens also poured down rainat the presence of God; even Sinai shookat the presence of God, the God of Israel.

9. You, O God, sent plentiful rain;You established Your inheritance when it was weary.

21. But God will shatter the head of His enemies,and the scalp of one who walks in his trespasses.

22. The Lord said, “I will cause them to return from Bashan,I will bring my people again from the depths of the sea,
