15 The hill of God's as Bashan hill, As Bashan hill [it is] for height.
16 Why leap ye you high hills? This is The [holy] mount chosen by God, Where he delights to dwell; on which He'll [ever] settle his abode.
17 God's Chariots twenty thousand are, His Angels [many] thousands be; Among them as in Sinai mount, So in his [holy] Temple's he.
18 Thou hast triumphing gloriously. Ascended up [to dwell] on high, And conquering in triumph led Captive [even our] Captivity. Thou hast received gifts in Man, [And that] for them that did rebel; That as their reconciled God Among them thou [in love] mightest dwell.
