Psalm 68:15-21
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]
18 When you ascended(G) on high,(H)
you took many captives;(I)
you received gifts from people,(J)
even from[b] the rebellious(K)—
that you,[c] Lord God, might dwell there.

Psalm 68:15-21
King James Version
15 The hill of God is as the hill of Bashan; an high hill as the hill of Bashan.
16 Why leap ye, ye high hills? this is the hill which God desireth to dwell in; yea, the Lord will dwell in it for ever.
17 The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands of angels: the Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in the holy place.
18 Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive: thou hast received gifts for men; yea, for the rebellious also, that the Lord God might dwell among them.
19 Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah.
20 He that is our God is the God of salvation; and unto God the Lord belong the issues from death.
21 But God shall wound the head of his enemies, and the hairy scalp of such an one as goeth on still in his trespasses.
