Psalms 68:11

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.

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.”
