³ But let the righteous rejoice; May they be overjoyed before God; May they exult with rejoicing.

¹⁵ The mountain of Baʹshan is a mountain of God;^*1 The mountain of Baʹshan is a mountain of peaks.

¹⁶ Why do you look with envy, you mountains of peaks, Toward the mountain that God has chosen^*1 as his dwelling? Indeed, Jehovah will reside there forever.

¹⁷ The war chariots of God are tens of thousands, thousands upon thousands. Jehovah has come from Siʹnai into the holy place.
