aThis is the mountain which God desires to dwell in;
Yes, the Lord will dwell in it forever.
Even thousands of thousands;
The Lord is among them as in Sinai, in the Holy Place.
bYou have led captivity captive;
cYou have received gifts among men,
Even from dthe rebellious,
eThat the Lord God might dwell there.

Psalms 68:16
Why leap ye, ye high hills? - " God said, Why leap ye, ye high hills? It is not pleasing to me to give my law upon high and towering hills. Behold, Mount Sinai is low; and the Word of the Lord has desired to place on it the Divine majesty. Moreover, the Lord dwells for ever in the heaven of heavens." - Targum.
The psalmist is speaking particularly of the mountains of Judea, and those of Gilead; the former were occupied by the Canaanites, and the others by Og, king of Bashan, and Sihon, king of the Amorites, whom Moses defeated.
