Psalm 68:15-18
The Message
15-16 You huge mountains, Bashan mountains,
mighty mountains, dragon mountains.
All you mountains not chosen,
sulk now, and feel sorry for yourselves,
For this is the mountain God has chosen to live on;
he’ll rule from this mountain forever.
17-18 The chariots of God, twice ten thousand,
and thousands more besides,
The Lord in the lead, riding down Sinai—
straight to the Holy Place!
You climbed to the High Place, captives in tow,
your arms full of plunder from rebels,
And now you sit there in state,
God, sovereign God!
Psalm 68:15-17
New International Version
15 Mount Bashan,(A) majestic mountain,(B)
Mount Bashan, rugged mountain,
16 why gaze in envy, you rugged mountain,
at the mountain where God chooses(C) to reign,
where the Lord himself will dwell forever?(D)
17 The chariots(E) of God are tens of thousands
and thousands of thousands;(F)
the Lord has come from Sinai into his sanctuary.[a]
