I

[a]May God arise;
    may his enemies be scattered;
    may those who hate him flee before him.(A)
As the smoke is dispersed, disperse them;
    as wax is melted by fire,
    so may the wicked perish before God.(B)
Then the just will be glad;
    they will rejoice before God;
    they will celebrate with great joy.
