Psalm 68:10–12

10 Your people settled in it,

and from your bounty, God, you provided for the poor.

11 The Lord announces the word,

and the women who proclaim it are a mighty throng:

12 “Kings and armies flee in haste;

the women at home divide the plunder.

10 Thy congregation hath dwelt therein:

Thou, O God, hast prepared of thy goodness for the poor.

11 The Lord gave the word:

Great was the company of those that published it.

12 Kings of armies did flee apace:

And she that tarried at home divided the spoil.

10 There your people finally settled,

and with a bountiful harvest, O God,

you provided for your needy people.

11 The Lord gives the word,

and a great army brings the good news.

12 Enemy kings and their armies flee,

while the women of Israel divide the plunder.

10 Your congregation dwelt in it;

You, O God, provided from Your goodness for the poor.

12 Kings of armies flee, they flee;

And she that tarrieth at home divideth the spoil.

10 Thy flock hath dwelt therein: thou hast prepared in thy goodness, for the afflicted, O God! 11 The Lord gives the word: great the host of the publishers. 12 Kings of armies flee; they flee, and she that tarrieth at home divideth the spoil.

10 Your flock settled there. 

Out of your goodness, O God, 

you provided for oppressed people. 

11 The Lord gives instructions. 

The women who announce the good news are a large army. 

12 ⸤They say,⸥ “The kings of the armies flee; they run away. 

The women who remained at home will divide the goods. 

10 Your people settled in it;

God, You provided for the poor by Your goodness.

11 The Lord gave the command;

a great company of women brought the good news:

12 “The kings of the armies flee—they flee!”

She who stays at home divides the spoil.

10 your flock found a dwelling in it;

in your goodness, O God, you provided for the needy.

10 Your community dwelled in it.

You provided in your goodness for the poor, O God.

11 The Lord gives the word.

Great is the company of women who announce:

12 “The kings of armies flee, they flee,

and she who remains at home divides the spoil.

10 God, your people settled in it.

From all of your riches, you provided for those who were poor.

11 The Lord gave a message.

Many people made it widely known.

12 They said, “Kings and armies are running away.

In the camps, Israel’s soldiers are dividing up

the things they have taken from their enemies.

10 Your creatures settled in it;

You provided in Your goodness for the poor, O God.

11 The Lord gives the command;

The women who proclaim the good tidings are a great host:

12 “Kings of armies flee, they flee,

And she who remains at home will divide the spoil!”
