Psalms 68:10

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.

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.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
