14 Quando o Todo-Poderoso espalhou os reis, houve neve em Salmom.
15 O monte de Deus [é como] o monte de Basã; [é] um monte bem alto, [como] o monte de Basã.
16 Por que olhais com inveja, ó montes altos? A este monte Deus desejou para ser sua habitação; e o SENHOR habitará [nele] para sempre.
17 As carruagens de Deus são várias dezenas de milhares; o Senhor está entre elas, [como] em Sinai, em [seu] santuário.
18 Tu subiste ao alto, levaste cativos, recebeste bens dos homens, até dos rebeldes, para que [ali] o SENHOR Deus habitasse.
