5. A father of the fatherless, a defender of widows,Is God in His holy habitation.
6. God sets the solitary in families;He brings out those who are bound into prosperity;But the rebellious dwell in a dry land.
7. O God, when You went out before Your people,When You marched through the wilderness,Selah
8. The earth shook;The heavens also dropped rain at the presence of God;Sinai itself was moved at the presence of God, the God of Israel.
9. You, O God, sent a plentiful rain,Whereby You confirmed Your inheritance,When it was weary.
10. Your congregation dwelt in it;You, O God, provided from Your goodness for the poor.
11. The Lord gave the word;Great was the company of those who proclaimed it:
12. “Kings of armies flee, they flee,And she who remains at home divides the spoil.
13. Though you lie down among the sheepfolds,You will be like the wings of a dove covered with silver,And her feathers with yellow gold.”
14. When the Almighty scattered kings in it,It was white as snow in Zalmon.
15. A mountain of God is the mountain of Bashan;A mountain of many peaks is the mountain of Bashan.
16. Why do you fume with envy, you mountains of many peaks?This is the mountain which God desires to dwell in;Yes, the Lord will dwell in it forever.
17. The chariots of God are twenty thousand,Even thousands of thousands;The Lord is among them as in Sinai, in the Holy Place.
18. You have ascended on high,You have led captivity captive;You have received gifts among men,Even from the rebellious,That the Lord God might dwell there.
19. Blessed be the Lord,Who daily loads us with benefits,The God of our salvation!Selah
20. Our God is the God of salvation;And to God the Lord belong escapes from death.
21. But God will wound the head of His enemies,The hairy scalp of the one who still goes on in his trespasses.
22. The Lord said, “I will bring back from Bashan,I will bring them back from the depths of the sea,
23. That your foot may crush them in blood,And the tongues of your dogs may have their portion from your enemies.”
