Psalm 68:16-18
Lexham English Bible
16 Why do you look with hostility, O many-peaked mountains?
This[a] mountain God desires for his dwelling.
Yes, Yahweh will abide in it forever.
17 The chariots of God
are twice ten thousand, with thousands doubled.
The Lord is among them at Sinai, distinctive in victory.[b]
18 You have ascended on high; you have led away captives.
You have received gifts from among humankind,
and even from the rebellious, so that Yah[c] God may dwell there.
