Psalms 68:1-9 ▼

1 For the one directing. Of David. A Psalm. A Song. God Arises, His enemies are scattered, and those hating Him flee before His face.

2 As smoke is driven away, you will drive them away; like the melting of wax from the face of the fire, the wicked will perish before the face of God.

3 And the righteous will be glad; they will exult before God, and will rejoice exceedingly.

4 Sing to God, sing praises to His name! Lift up to the One riding on the clouds—YAH is His name—and rejoice before His face!

5 A father of the fatherless, and a defender of widows, is God, in the habitation of His holiness.

6 God causes the solitary to dwell in a home; He brings out the prisoners into prosperity, but the rebellious ones have dwelt in a scorched land.

7 O God, in Your going forth before the face of Your people, in Your marching through the wilderness, Selah

8 the earth shook; also the heavens poured down before the face of God, the One of Sinai, before the face of God, the God of Israel.

9 You showered rain of freewill offerings, O God; when Your inheritance was weary, You restored it.
