Psalm 68:8–11

8 the earth shook, the heavens poured down rain,

before God, the One of Sinai,

before God, the God of Israel.

9 You gave abundant showers, O God;

you refreshed your weary inheritance.

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:

8 The earth shook, the heavens also dropped

At the presence of God: even Sinai itself was moved

At the presence of God, the God of Israel.

9 Thou, O God, didst send a plentiful rain,

Whereby thou didst confirm thine inheritance, when it was weary.

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.

8 the earth trembled, and the heavens poured down rain

before you, the God of Sinai,

before God, the God of Israel.

9 You sent abundant rain, O God,

to refresh the weary land.

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.

8 The earth shook;

The heavens also dropped rain at the presence of God;

Sinai itself was moved at the presence of God, the God of Israel.

9 You, O God, sent a plentiful rain,

Whereby You confirmed Your inheritance,

When it was weary.

10 Your congregation dwelt in it;

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

11 The Lord gave the word;

Great was the company of those who proclaimed it:

8 The ground shook

and the sky poured down rain

before God, the God of Mount Sinai,

before God, the God of Israel.

9 God, you sent much rain;

you refreshed your tired land.

10 Your people settled there.

God, in your goodness

you took care of the poor.

11 The Lord gave the command,

and a great army told the news:

8 The earth trembled,

The heavens also dropped rain at the presence of God:

Yon Sinai trembled at the presence of God, the God of Israel.

9 Thou, O God, didst send a plentiful rain,

Thou didst confirm thine inheritance, when it was weary.

10 Thy congregation dwelt therein:

Thou, O God, didst prepare of thy goodness for the poor.

11 The Lord giveth the word:

The women that publish the tidings are a great host.

8 The earth trembled, the heavens also dropped at the presence of God, yon Sinai, at the presence of God, the God of Israel. 9 Thou, O God, didst pour a plentiful rain upon thine inheritance, and when it was weary thou strengthenedst it. 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.

8 the earth quaked and the sky poured 

in the presence of the God of Sinai, 

in the presence of the God of Israel. 

9 You watered the land with plenty of rain, O God. 

You refreshed it when your land was exhausted. 

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. 

8 the earth trembled and the skies poured down rain

before God, the God of Sinai,

before God, the God of Israel.

9 You, God, showered abundant rain;

You revived Your inheritance when it languished.

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:

8 the earth quaked, the heavens poured down rain

at the presence of God, the God of Sinai,

at the presence of God, the God of Israel.

9 Rain in abundance, O God, you showered abroad;

you restored your heritage when it languished;

10 your flock found a dwelling in it;

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

11 The Lord gives the command;

great is the company of those who bore the tidings:

8 the earth shook; the heavens also dripped rain

at the presence of God who was at Sinai,

at the presence of God, the God of Israel.

9 You caused abundant rain to fall, O God.

When your inheritance was weary you revived it.

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:

8 The ground shook

when you, the God of Sinai, appeared.

The heavens poured down rain

when you, the God of Israel, appeared.

9 God, you gave us plenty of rain.

You renewed your worn-out land.

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.

8 The earth quaked;

The heavens also dropped rain at the presence of God;

Sinai itself quaked at the presence of God, the God of Israel.

9 You shed abroad a plentiful rain, O God;

You confirmed Your inheritance when it was parched.

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:
