15 Mount Bashan is God’s towering mountain;

Mount Bashan is a mountain of many peaks.f

16 Why gaze with envy, you mountain peaks,

at the mountain God desired for his abode?

The Lord will dwell there forever!g

17 God’s chariots are tens of thousands,

thousands and thousands;h

the Lord is among them in the sanctuary*

as he was at Sinai.i

18 You ascended to the heights, taking away captives;

you received gifts fromE people,

even from the rebellious,

so that the Lord God might dwell there.F,j

19 Blessed be the Lord!

Day after day he bears our burdens;

God is our salvation.k

Selah

20 Our God is a God of salvation,

and escape from death belongs to the Lord my Lord.l
