Psalm 68:16
βWhy leap ye, ye high hills? this is the hill which God desireth to dwell in; yea, the Lord will dwell in it for ever.β
KJV
Read in Psalm 68Meaning
Divine choice rather than visible elevation determines the poem's center.
Bashan, Sinai, ascent, and the sanctuary
Mountain and chariot imagery culminate in God's ascent and dwelling among the people.

The verse celebrates God's dwelling, not a license to dominate other peoples.
Reflection
Resist treating spiritual belonging as superiority over others.
