Psalm 68:16-18
English Standard Version
16 Why do you look with hatred, O many-peaked mountain,
at the mount that God (A)desired for his abode,
yes, where the Lord will dwell forever?
17 (B)The chariots of God are twice ten thousand,
thousands upon thousands;
the Lord is among them; Sinai is now in the sanctuary.
18 (C)You ascended on high,
(D)leading a host of captives in your train
and (E)receiving gifts among men,
even among (F)the rebellious, (G)that the Lord God may dwell there.

at the mountain where God chooses(A) to reign,
where the Lord himself will dwell forever?(B)

the Lord has come from Sinai into his sanctuary.[a]
