ESVEnglish Standard Version

The chariots of God are twice ten thousand,

thousands upon thousands;

the Lord is among them; Sinai is now in the sanctuary.

You ascended on high,

leading a host of captives in your train

and receiving gifts among men,

even among the rebellious, that the Lord God may dwell there.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

The chariots of God are tens of thousands

and thousands of thousands;

the Lord has come from Sinai into his sanctuary.

When you ascended on high,

you took many captives;

you received gifts from people,

even from the rebellious—

that you, Lord God, might dwell there.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

God’s chariots are tens of thousands,

thousands and thousands;

the Lord is among them in the sanctuary

as he was at Sinai.

You ascended to the heights, taking away captives;

you received gifts from people,

even from the rebellious,

so that the Lord God might dwell there.

NLTNew Living Translation

Surrounded by unnumbered thousands of chariots,

the Lord came from Mount Sinai into his sanctuary.

When you ascended to the heights,

you led a crowd of captives.

You received gifts from the people,

even from those who rebelled against you.

Now the Lord God will live among us there.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

The chariots of God

are twice ten thousand, with thousands doubled.

The Lord is among them at Sinai, distinctive in victory.

You have ascended on high; you have led away captives.

You have received gifts from among humankind,

and even from the rebellious, so that Yah God may dwell there.

KJV 1900King James Version

The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands of angels:

The Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in the holy place.

Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive:

Thou hast received gifts for men;

Yea, for the rebellious also, that the Lord God might dwell among them.
