Even while you sleep among the campfires, the wings of my dove are sheathed with silver, its feathers with shining gold."
|
68:14 |
When the Almighty scattered the kings in the land, it was like snow fallen on Zalmon.

68:16 |
Why gaze in envy, O rugged mountains, at the mountain where God chooses to reign, where the LORD himself will dwell forever?
|
68:17 |
The chariots of God are tens of thousands and thousands of thousands; the Lord has come from Sinai into his sanctuary.

68:18 |
When you ascended on high, you led captives in your train; you received gifts from men, even from the rebellious-- that you, O LORD God, might dwell there.
|
68:19 |
