Psalm 68
God shall arise, and his enemies shall be scattered
: those that hate him shall flee before his face.
As smoke is dispersed, so shall they be dispersed
: as wax melts before a fire,
so shall the wicked perish at the presence of God.
But the righteous shall be glad and exult before God
: they shall rejoice with gladness.
O sing to God, sing praises to his name
: glorify him that rode through the deserts,
him whose name is the Lord, and exult before him.
He is the father of the fatherless,
he upholds the cause of the widow
: God in his holy dwelling place.
He gives the desolate a home to dwell in,
and brings the prisoners out into prosperity
: but rebels must dwell in a barren land.
O God, when you went out before your people
: when you marched through the wilderness,
The earth shook, the heavens poured down water
: before the God of Sinai, before God, the God of Israel.
You showered down a generous rain, O God
: you prepared the land of your possession when it was weary.
And there your people settled
: in the place that your goodness, O God,
had made ready for the poor.
Sing to God, you kingdoms of the earth
: O sing praises to the Lord,
To him that rides upon the highest heavens,
that were from the beginning
: who utters his voice, which is a mighty voice.
Ascribe power to God, whose majesty is over Israel
: and his might is in the clouds.
Terrible is God who comes from his holy place
: the God of Israel who gives power and strength to his people.
Blessed be God.
