1Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered;

Let them also that hate him flee before him.

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

As wax melteth before the fire,

So let the wicked perish at the presence of God.

3But let the righteous be glad; let them exult before God:

Yea, let them rejoice with gladness.

4Sing unto God, sing praises to his name:

Cast up a highway for him that rideth through the deserts;

His name is Jehovah; and exult ye before him.

5A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows,

Is God in his holy habitation.

6God setteth the solitary in families:

He bringeth out the prisoners into prosperity;

But the rebellious dwell in a parched land.

7O God, when thou wentest forth before thy people,

When thou didst march through the wilderness; Selah

8The earth trembled,

The heavens also dropped rain at the presence of God:

Yon Sinai trembled at the presence of God, the God of Israel.

9Thou, O God, didst send a plentiful rain,

Thou didst confirm thine inheritance, when it was weary.

10Thy congregation dwelt therein:

Thou, O God, didst prepare of thy goodness for the poor.

11The Lord giveth the word:

The women that publish the tidings are a great host.

12Kings of armies flee, they flee;

And she that tarrieth at home divideth the spoil.
