Psalm 68:16-19
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
V
16 You mountain of God, mountain of Bashan,
you rugged mountain, mountain of Bashan,
17 You rugged mountains, why look with envy
at the mountain[a] where God has chosen to dwell,
where the Lord resides forever?(A)
18 God’s chariots were myriad, thousands upon thousands;
from Sinai the Lord entered the holy place.
19 You went up to its lofty height;
you took captives, received slaves as tribute,(B)
even rebels, for the Lord God to dwell.
