Psalms 68:16 Context
14When the Almighty scattered Kings in it, it was white as snow in Salmon. 15The hil of God is as the hill of Bashan, an high hill as the hill of Bashan. 16Why leape ye, ye high hilles? this is the Hil which God desireth to dwell in, yea the Lord will dwel in it for euer. 17The chariots of God are twentie thousand, euen thousands of Angels: the Lord is among them as in Sinai, in the holy place. 18Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast ledde captiuitie captiue, thou hast receiued giftes for men; yea, for the rebellious also, that the Lord God might dwell among them.
