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.

Verse 18 is found in chapter 68 of Psalms. Psalm 68 is a complex hymn celebrating God’s victorious procession and remembering his action on behalf of the weak. The processional language evokes divine presence from the wilderness to the sanctuary. Orphans, widows, and captives appear under God’s care, showing that his power is not limited to the battlefield. The entrance of tribes and peoples into praise ultimately presents the Lord as King whose strength fills his sanctuary.

Der Wagen Gottes sind vieltausendmal tausend; der HERR ist unter ihnen am heiligen Sinai.
Subiste a lo alto, cautivaste la cautividad, Tomaste dones para los hombres, Y también para los rebeldes, para que habite entre ellos JAH Dios.
Subiste a lo alto, llevaste cautivos y recibiste regalos de los hombres, incluso de los rebeldes, para que habites allí, Jah Dios.
Tu es monté dans les hauteurs, tu as emmené des captifs, Tu as pris en don des hommes; Les rebelles habiteront aussi près de l'Eternel Dieu.
Tu sei salito in alto, tu ne hai menato in cattività numero di prigioni; Tu hai presi doni d’infra gli uomini, Eziandio ribelli, per far ora una ferma dimora, o Signore Iddio.
Tu subiste ao alto, levaste cativo o cativeiro, recebeste dons para os homens, e até para os rebeldes, para que o SENHOR Deus habitasse entre eles.
你已經升上高天,擄掠了俘虜; 你在人間,就是在悖逆的人中,受了供獻, 使耶和華上帝可以與他們同住。
