Psalm 68:12 in context

The verses around it, from Psalm 68.

8 the earth shook and the heavens poured down rain before God, the One on Sinai, before God, the God of Israel.

9 You sent abundant rain, O God; You refreshed Your weary inheritance.

10 Your flock settled therein; O God, from Your bounty You provided for the poor.

11 The Lord gives the command; a great company of women proclaim it:

12 “Kings and their armies flee in haste; she who waits at home divides the plunder.

13 Though you lie down among the sheepfolds, the wings of the dove are covered with silver, and her feathers with shimmering gold.”

14 When the Almighty scattered the kings in the land, it was like the snow falling on Zalmon.

15 A mountain of God is Mount Bashan; a mountain of many peaks is Mount Bashan.

16 Why do you gaze in envy, O mountains of many peaks? This is the mountain God chose for His dwelling, where the LORD will surely dwell forever.
