9. The earth quaked, the heavens poured,before God, the One of Sinai,before God, the God of Israel.
10. You poured abundant rains, God,your inheritance was weak and you repaired it.
11. Your creatures dwelt in it;you will establish it in your goodness for the poor, O God.
12. The Lord announced:“Those bringing news are a great Army.
13. The kings of the armies are in desperate flight.Every household will share the spoil,
14. though you lie down among the sheepfolds,you shall be covered with silver as the wings of a dove,her feathers bright as fine gold.”
15. When the Almighty routs the kings there,it will be as when snow fell on Zalmon.
16. You mountain of God, mountain of Bashan,you rugged mountain, mountain of Bashan,
17. You rugged mountains, why look with envyat the mountain where God has chosen to dwell,where the Lord resides forever?
18. God’s chariots were myriad, thousands upon thousands;from Sinai the Lord entered the holy place.
19. You went up to its lofty height;you took captives, received slaves as tribute,even rebels, for the Lord God to dwell.
