The hill of God is as the hill of Bashan

Psalm 68:15–21, “The hill of God is as the hill of Bashan; an high hill as the hill of Bashan. Why leap ye, ye high hills? this is the hill which God desireth to dwell in; yea, the LORD will dwell in it for ever. The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands of angels: the Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in the holy place.  Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive: thou hast received gifts for men; yea, for the rebellious also, that the LORD God might dwell among them. Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah. He that is our God is the God of salvation; and unto GOD the Lord belong the issues from death. But God shall wound the head of his enemies, and the hairy scalp of such an one as goeth on still in his trespasses.

Bashan was in high mountain region and was a particularly good area for herds and flocks. David compared Zion, the city of the Great King, with that fruitful area because the Lord had placed in His Name in Zion. Even the hills rejoiced because the Lord chose to live among them. The Lord’s enemies had little chance against the Lord because He commands great armies of angels. He frees all the captives because He had defeated captivity and made it captive. The Lord blesses His people every day and He saves them from the results of sin and their enemies. Those who trust the Lord will triumph in the end but those who fight against Him will be defeated forever. Right from the beginning the Lord promised that, one day, the Promised and Anointed One would bruise the serpent’s head forever.
