12. Enemy kings and their armies flee,while the women of Israel divide the plunder.
13. Even those who lived among the sheepfolds found treasures—doves with wings of silverand feathers of gold.
14. The Almighty scattered the enemy kingslike a blowing snowstorm on Mount Zalmon.
15. The mountains of Bashan are majestic,with many peaks stretching high into the sky.
16. Why do you look with envy, O rugged mountains,at Mount Zion, where God has chosen to live,where the lord himself will live forever?
17. Surrounded by unnumbered thousands of chariots,the Lord came from Mount Sinai into his sanctuary.
18. When you ascended to the heights,you led a crowd of captives.You received gifts from the people,even from those who rebelled against you.Now the lord God will live among us there.
19. Praise the Lord; praise God our savior!For each day he carries us in his arms.Interlude
20. Our God is a God who saves!The Sovereign lord rescues us from death.
21. But God will smash the heads of his enemies,crushing the skulls of those who love their guilty ways.
