9. O God, you cause abundant showers to fall on your chosen people.When they are tired, you sustain them,
10. for you live among them.You sustain the oppressed with your good blessings, O God.
11. The Lord speaks;many, many women spread the good news.
12. Kings leading armies run away – they run away!The lovely lady of the house divides up the loot.
13. When you lie down among the sheepfolds,the wings of the dove are covered with silverand with glittering gold.
14. When the sovereign judge scatters kings,let it snow on Zalmon!
15. The mountain of Bashan is a towering mountain;the mountain of Bashan is a mountain with many peaks.
16. Why do you look with envy, O mountains with many peaks,at the mountain where God has decided to live?Indeed the Lord will live there permanently!
17. God has countless chariots;they number in the thousands.The Lord comes from Sinai in holy splendor.
