1 May God arise, may his enemies be scattered;

may his foes flee before him.

2 May you blow them away like smoke—

as wax melts before the fire,

may the wicked perish before God.

1 God shall arise, his enemies shall be scattered;

and those who hate him shall flee before him!

2 As smoke is driven away, so you shall drive them away;

as wax melts before fire,

so the wicked shall perish before God!

1 Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered: Let them also that hate him flee before him. 2 As smoke is driven away, so drive them away: As wax melteth before the fire, So let the wicked perish at the presence of God.

1 Rise up, O God, and scatter your enemies.

Let those who hate God run for their lives.

2 Blow them away like smoke.

Melt them like wax in a fire.

Let the wicked perish in the presence of God.

1 Let God rise up and scatter his enemies;

let those who hate him run away from him.

2 Blow them away as smoke

is driven away by the wind.

As wax melts before a fire,

let the wicked be destroyed before God.

1 Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered;

Let them also that hate him flee before him.

2 As smoke is driven away, so drive them away:

As wax melteth before the fire,

So let the wicked perish at the presence of God.

1 Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered, and let them that hate him flee before him. 2 As smoke is driven, thou wilt drive them away; as wax melteth before the fire, the wicked shall perish at the presence of God.

1 God will arise. 

His enemies will be scattered. 

Those who hate him will flee from him. 

2 Blow them away like smoke. 

Let wicked people melt in God’s presence like wax next to a fire. 

1 God arises. His enemies scatter,

and those who hate Him flee from His presence.

2 As smoke is blown away,

so You blow them away.

As wax melts before the fire,

so the wicked are destroyed before God.

As wax melts before fire,

the wicked will perish before God.

1 May God rise up and scatter his enemies.

May they turn and run away from him.

2 As wind blows smoke away,

so may God blow them away.

As fire melts wax,

so may he destroy sinful people.

1 Let God arise, let His enemies be scattered,

And let those who hate Him flee before Him.

2 As smoke is driven away, so drive them away;

As wax melts before the fire,

So let the wicked perish before God.
