41 Heb “thousands of [?].” The meaning of the word שִׁנְאָן (shin’an), which occurs only here in the OT, is uncertain. Perhaps the form should be emended to שַׁאֲנָן (sha’anan, “at ease”) and be translated here “held in reserve.”
42 The reads, “the Lord [is] among them, Sinai, in holiness,” which is syntactically difficult. The present translation assumes an emendation to אֲדֹנָי בָּא מִסִּינַי (’adonay ba’ missinay; see note b-b and Deut 33:2).
43 Heb “to the elevated place”; or “on high.” This probably refers to the Lord’s throne on Mount Zion.
44 Heb “you have taken captives captive.”
45 Or “gifts.”
46 Or “among.”
47 Heb “so that the Lord God might live [there].” Many take the infinitive construct with -לְ (lamed) as indicating purpose here, but it is unclear how the offering of tribute enables the Lord to live in Zion. This may be an occurrence of the relatively rare emphatic lamed (see II לְ, though this text is not listed as an example there). If so, the statement corresponds nicely to the final line of v. 16, which also affirms emphatically that the Lord lives in Zion.

The chariots of God are twice ten thousand,

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.

The chariots of God are tens of thousands

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.

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,

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.

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.
