New Century Version

Psalms 68:9-19 New Century Version (NCV)

9. God, you sent much rain;you refreshed your tired land.

10. Your people settled there.God, in your goodnessyou took care of the poor.

11. The Lord gave the command,and a great army told the news:

12. “Kings and their armies run away.In camp they divide the wealth taken in war.

13. Those who stayed by the campfireswill share the riches taken in battle.”

14. The Almighty scattered kingslike snow on Mount Zalmon.

15. The mountains of Bashan are high;the mountains of Bashan have many peaks.

16. Why do you mountains with many peaks look with envyon the mountain that God chose for his home?The Lord will live there forever.

17. God comes with millions of chariots;the Lord comes from Mount Sinai to his holy place.

18. When you went up to the heights,you led a parade of captives.You received gifts from the people,even from those who turned against you.And the Lord God will live there.

19. Praise the Lord, God our Savior,who helps us every day.Selah
