7. O God, when thou wentest forth before thy people, When thou didst march through the wilderness;
8. The earth trembled, The heavens also dropped rain at the presence of God: Yon Sinai trembled at the presence of God, the God of Israel.
9. Thou, O God, didst send a plentiful rain, Thou didst confirm thine inheritance, when it was weary.
10. Thy congregation dwelt therein: Thou, O God, didst prepare of thy goodness for the poor.
11. The Lord giveth the word: The women that publish the tidings are a great host.
12. Kings of armies flee, they flee; And she that tarrieth at home divideth the spoil.
13. When ye lie among the sheepfolds, It is as the wings of a dove covered with silver, And her pinions with yellow gold.
14. When the Almighty scattered kings therein, It was as when it snoweth in Zalmon.
15. A mountain of God is the mountain of Bashan; A high mountain is the mountain of Bashan.
16. Why look ye askance, ye high mountains, At the mountain which God hath desired for his abode? Yea, Jehovah will dwell in it for ever.
17. The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands upon thousands; The Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in the sanctuary.
18. Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led away captives; Thou hast received gifts among men, Yea, among the rebellious also, that Jehovah God might dwell with them.
19. Blessed be the Lord, who daily beareth our burden, Even the God who is our salvation.
20. God is unto us a God of deliverances; And unto Jehovah the Lord belongeth escape from death.
21. But God will smite through the head of his enemies, The hairy scalp of such a one as goeth on still in his guiltiness.
22. The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will bring them again from the depths of the sea;
23. That thou mayest crush them, dipping thy foot in blood, That the tongue of thy dogs may have its portion from thine enemies.
24. They have seen thy goings, O God, Even the goings of my God, my King, into the sanctuary.
25. The singers went before, the minstrels followed after, In the midst of the damsels playing with timbrels.
26. Bless ye God in the congregations, Even the Lord, ye that are of the fountain of Israel.
27. There is little Benjamin their ruler, The princes of Judah and their council, The princes of Zebulun, the princes of Naphtali.
