Psalm 68:2-11
English Standard Version
2 As (A)smoke is driven away, so you shall drive them away;
(B)as wax melts before fire,
so the wicked shall perish before God!
3 But (C)the righteous shall be glad;
they shall exult before God;
they shall be jubilant with joy!
4 Sing to God, (D)sing praises to his name;
(E)lift up a song to him who (F)rides through (G)the deserts;
his name is (H)the Lord;
exult before him!
5 (I)Father of the fatherless and (J)protector of widows
is God in his holy habitation.
6 God (K)settles the solitary in a home;
he (L)leads out the prisoners to prosperity,
but (M)the rebellious dwell in (N)a parched land.
7 O God, when you (O)went out before your people,
(P)when you marched through (Q)the wilderness, Selah
8 (R)the earth quaked, the heavens poured down rain,
before God, the One of Sinai,
before God,[a] the God of Israel.
9 (S)Rain in abundance, O God, you shed abroad;
you restored your inheritance as it languished;
10 your flock[b] found a dwelling in it;
in your goodness, O God, you (T)provided for the needy.
