Psalm 68:16-18
The Voice
16 Why are you so jealous, O mountain of many peaks,
when you look at the mountain the True God has chosen as His dwelling place?
The Eternal will surely abide on Mount Zion forever.
17 The chariots of God are innumerable;
there are thousands upon thousands of them.
The Lord is in their midst, just as He was at Mount Sinai.
He has come into the holy place.
18 When You ascended the sacred mountain,
with Your prisoners in tow, Your captives in chains,
You sat in triumph receiving gifts from men,
Even from those who rebel against You, so that You, the Eternal God, might take up residence there.
Psalm 68:16-18

Psalm 68:16-18
New International Version
16 why gaze in envy, you rugged mountain,
at the mountain where God chooses(A) to reign,
where the Lord himself will dwell forever?(B)
17 The chariots(C) of God are tens of thousands
and thousands of thousands;(D)
the Lord has come from Sinai into his sanctuary.[a]
18 When you ascended(E) on high,(F)
you took many captives;(G)
you received gifts from people,(H)
even from[b] the rebellious(I)—
that you,[c] Lord God, might dwell there.
