[verse 11] By thy great works thou matter gav'st of publique joy, O God, Great multitude of women it did publish all abroad. [verse 12] The Kings of armies of our foes fled 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 gold her feathers covered were. [verse 14] When the Almighty by his pow'r great Kings did overthrow, Then was it like to Salmon hill, when it was white with snow.

Above the height of Bashan hill advanced by his will. [verse 16] Why leap ye you high hills? this is the hill chosen by God, To dwell in, God for ever there will 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 high triumphing gloriously, A multitude of captives thou leadst in captivity.
Thou then bestowedst gifts on men, even such as did rebel, That by thine Ordinances thou in midst of them might'st dwell. [verse 19] All praises be unto our God, we daily loaden be, With his great benefits, alone our Saviour is he.
[verse 20] Our God is he that is the God of all salvation, The issues out of death belong to God the Lord alone. [verse 21] But God shall deadly wound the head of all his enemies, The hairy scalp of all that walk still in iniquities.
