New King James Version
Psalm 68:16-18
New King James Version
16 Why do you [a]fume with envy, you mountains of many peaks?
(A)This is the mountain which God desires to dwell in;
Yes, the Lord will dwell in it forever.
17 (B)The chariots of God are twenty thousand,
Even thousands of thousands;
The Lord is among them as in Sinai, in the Holy Place.
18 (C)You have ascended on high,
(D)You have led captivity captive;
(E)You have received gifts among men,
Even from (F)the rebellious,
(G)That the Lord God might dwell there.
