Psalm 68:1–10

¹To the Overseer.—A Psalm, a song of David. Rise doth God—scattered are His enemies! And those hating Him flee from His face.

²As the driving away of smoke Thou drivest away, As the melting of wax before fire, The wicked perish at the presence of God.

³And the righteous rejoice, they exult before God, And they joy with gladness.

⁴Sing ye to God—praise His name, Raise up a highway for Him who is riding in deserts, In Jah is His name, and exult before Him.

⁵Father of the fatherless, and judge of the widows, Is God in His holy habitation.

⁶God—causing the lonely to dwell at home, Bringing out bound ones into prosperity, Only—the refractory have inhabited a dry place.

⁷O God, in Thy going forth before Thy people, In Thy stepping through the wilderness, Selah.

⁸The earth hath shaken, Yea, the heavens have dropped before God, This Sinai—before God, the God of Israel.

⁹A shower of free-will gifts thou shakest out, O God. Thine inheritance, when it hath been weary, Thou hast established it.

¹⁰Thy company have dwelt in it, Thou preparest in Thy goodness for the poor, O God.
