[verse 11] By thy great works thou matter gav'stof publique joy, O God,Great multitude of women itdid publish all abroad. [verse 12] The Kings of armies of our foesfled in great haste away,And she that still abode at home,did part and share the prey.
[verse 13] And though ye lay among the pots,like doves ye shall appear,Whose wings with silver, and with goldher feathers covered were. [verse 14] When the Almighty by his pow'rgreat Kings did overthrow,Then was it like to Salmon hill,when it was white with snow.
[verse 15] Like unto fruitful Bashan, sois Zion Gods own hill,

Above the height of Bashan hilladvanced by his will. [verse 16] Why leap ye you high hills? this isthe hill chosen by God,To dwell in, God for ever therewill settle his abode.
[verse 17] Gods chariots twenty thousand are,his Angels thousands be,Amongst them, as in Sinai mount,in's holy place is he. [verse 18] When thou ascendest up on hightriumphing gloriously,A multitude of captives thouleadst in captivity.
Thou then bestowedst gifts on men,even such as did rebel,That by thine Ordinances thouin midst of them might'st dwell. [verse 19] All praises be unto our God,we daily loaden be,With his great benefits, aloneour Saviour is he.
[verse 20] Our God is he that is the Godof all salvation,The issues out of death belongto God the Lord alone. [verse 21] But God shall deadly wound the headof all his enemies,The hairy scalp of all that walkstill in iniquities.
