Psalm 68:1–10

¹Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered;

let those who hate him flee before him!

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

as wax melts before fire,

let the wicked perish before God!

³But let the righteous be joyful;

let them exult before God;

let them be jubilant with joy!

⁴Sing to God, sing praises to his name;

lift up a song to him who rides upon the clouds;^d

his name is the Lord, exult before him!

⁵Father of the fatherless and protector of widows

is God in his holy habitation.

⁶God gives the desolate a home to dwell in;

he leads out the prisoners to prosperity;

but the rebellious dwell in a parched land.

⁷O God, when thou didst go forth before thy people,

when thou didst march through the wilderness, Selah

⁸the earth quaked, the heavens poured down rain,

at the presence of God;

yon Sinai quaked at the presence of God,

the God of Israel.

⁹Rain in abundance, O God, thou didst shed abroad;

thou didst restore thy heritage as it languished;

¹⁰thy flock found a dwelling in it;

in thy goodness, O God, thou didst provide for the needy.
