Psalm 68:1–10

¹¹Let ^aGod arise, ²let His enemies be scattered,

And ³let those who hate Him flee before Him.

²As ^asmoke is driven away, so drive them away;

As ^bwax melts before the fire,

So let the ^cwicked perish before God.

³But let the ^arighteous be glad; let them exult before God;

Yes, let them rejoice with gladness.

⁴Sing to God, ^asing praises to His name;

^1bLift up a song for Him who ^crides through the deserts,

Whose ^dname is ²the Lord, and exult before Him.

⁵A ^afather of the fatherless and a ^bjudge ¹for the widows,

Is God in His ^choly habitation.

⁶God ^1amakes a home for the lonely;

He ^bleads out the prisoners into prosperity,

Only ^cthe rebellious dwell in a parched land.

⁷O God, when You ^awent forth before Your people,

When You ^bmarched through the wilderness,

¹Selah.

⁸The ^aearth quaked;

The ^bheavens also dropped rain at the presence of God;

^1cSinai itself quaked at the presence of God, the God of Israel.

⁹You ^ashed abroad a plentiful rain, O God;

You confirmed Your inheritance when it was ¹parched.

¹⁰Your creatures settled in it;

You ^aprovided in Your goodness for the poor, O God.
