16 why gaze in envy, you rugged mountain,

at the mountain where God chooses to reign,

where the Lord himself will dwell forever?

17 The chariots of God are tens of thousands

and thousands of thousands;

the Lord has come from Sinai into his sanctuary.

18 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.

16 Why do you look with hatred, O many-peaked mountain,

at the mount that God desired for his abode,

yes, where the Lord will dwell forever?

17 The chariots of God are twice ten thousand,

thousands upon thousands;

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

18 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.

16 Why leap ye, ye high hills?

This is the hill which God desireth to dwell in;

Yea, the Lord will dwell in it for ever.

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

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

18 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.

16 Why do you look with envy, O rugged mountains,

at Mount Zion, where God has chosen to live,

where the Lord himself will live forever?

17 Surrounded by unnumbered thousands of chariots,

the Lord came from Mount Sinai into his sanctuary.

18 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.

16 Why do you fume with envy, you mountains of many peaks?

This is the mountain which God desires to dwell in;

Yes, the Lord will dwell in it forever.

17 The chariots of God are twenty thousand,

Even thousands of thousands;

The Lord is among them as in Sinai, in the Holy Place.

18 You have ascended on high,

You have led captivity captive;

You have received gifts among men,

Even from the rebellious,

That the Lord God might dwell there.

16 Why do you mountains with many peaks look with envy

on the mountain that God chose for his home?

The Lord will live there forever.

17 God comes with millions of chariots;

the Lord comes from Mount Sinai to his holy place.

18 When you went up to the heights,

you led a parade of captives.

You received gifts from the people,

even from those who turned against you.

And the Lord God will live there.

16 Why look ye askance, ye high mountains,

At the mountain which God hath desired for his abode?

Yea, Jehovah will dwell in it for ever.

17 The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands upon thousands:

The Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in the sanctuary.

18 Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led away captives;

Thou hast received gifts among men,

Yea, among the rebellious also, that Jehovah God might dwell with them.

16 Why do ye look with envy, ye many-peaked mountains, upon the mount that God hath desired for his abode? yea, Jehovah will dwell there for ever. 17 The chariots of God are twenty thousand, thousands upon thousands; the Lord is among them: it is a Sinai in holiness. 18 Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive: thou hast received gifts in Man, and even for the rebellious, for the dwelling there of Jah Elohim.

16 Why do you look with envy, you mountains with many peaks, 

at the mountain where God has chosen to live? 

Certainly, the Lord will live there forever. 

17 The chariots of God are twenty thousand in number, 

thousands upon thousands. 

The Lord is among them. 

⸤The God of⸥ Sinai is in his holy place. 

18 You went to the highest place. 

You took prisoners captive. 

You received gifts from people, 

even from rebellious people, so that the Lord God may live there. 

16 Why gaze with envy, you mountain peaks,

at the mountain God desired for His dwelling?

The Lord will live there forever!

17 God’s chariots are tens of thousands,

thousands and thousands;

the Lord is among them in the sanctuary

as He was at Sinai.

18 You ascended to the heights, taking away captives;

You received gifts from people,

even from the rebellious,

so that the Lord God might live there.

16 Why do you look with envy, O many-peaked mountain,

at the mount that God desired for his abode,

where the Lord will reside forever?

17 With mighty chariotry, twice ten thousand,

thousands upon thousands,

the Lord came from Sinai into the holy place.

18 You ascended the high mount,

leading captives in your train

and receiving gifts from people,

even from those who rebel against the Lord God’s abiding there.

16 Why do you look with hostility, O many-peaked mountains?

This mountain God desires for his dwelling.

Yes, Yahweh will abide in it forever.

17 The chariots of God

are twice ten thousand, with thousands doubled.

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

18 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.

16 You rocky mountains are jealous of Mount Zion, aren’t you?

That’s where God chooses to rule.

That’s where the Lord himself will live forever.

17 God has come with tens of thousands of his chariots.

He has come with thousands and thousands of them.

The Lord has come from Mount Sinai.

He has entered his holy place.

18 When he went up to his place on high,

he led a line of prisoners.

He received gifts from people,

even from those who refused to obey him.

The Lord God went up to live on Mount Zion.
