4. Sing to God, sing praises to His name;Extol Him who rides on the clouds,By His name Yah,And rejoice before Him.
5. A father of the fatherless, a defender of widows,Is God in His holy habitation.
6. God sets the solitary in families;He brings out those who are bound into prosperity;But the rebellious dwell in a dry land.
7. O God, when You went out before Your people,When You marched through the wilderness,Selah
8. The earth shook;The heavens also dropped rain at the presence of God;Sinai itself was moved at the presence of God, the God of Israel.
9. You, O God, sent a plentiful rain,Whereby You confirmed Your inheritance,When it was weary.
10. Your congregation dwelt in it;You, O God, provided from Your goodness for the poor.
11. The Lord gave the word;Great was the company of those who proclaimed it:
12. “Kings of armies flee, they flee,And she who remains at home divides the spoil.
13. Though you lie down among the sheepfolds,You will be like the wings of a dove covered with silver,And her feathers with yellow gold.”
14. When the Almighty scattered kings in it,It was white as snow in Zalmon.
15. A mountain of God is the mountain of Bashan;A mountain of many peaks is the mountain of Bashan.
16. Why do you fume with envy, you mountains of many peaks?This is the mountain which God desires to dwell in;Yes, the Lord will dwell in it forever.
17. The chariots of God are twenty thousand,Even thousands of thousands;The Lord is among them as in Sinai, in the Holy Place.
18. You have ascended on high,You have led captivity captive;You have received gifts among men,Even from the rebellious,That the Lord God might dwell there.
19. Blessed be the Lord,Who daily loads us with benefits,The God of our salvation!Selah
