Psalm 68:1-6 - Heartlight

¹God arises. His enemies are scattered,

and those who hate Him flee His presence.

²As smoke is blown away,

You will drive them out;

as wax melts before the fire,

the wicked will perish in the presence of God.

³But the righteous will be glad

and rejoice before God;

they will celebrate with joy.

⁴Sing to God!

Sing praises to His name.

Exalt Him who rides on the clouds —

His name is the LORD —

and rejoice before Him.

⁵A father of the fatherless,

and a defender of the widows,

is God in His holy habitation.

⁶God settles the lonely in families;

He leads the prisoners out to prosperity,

but the rebellious dwell in a sun-scorched land.

— Psalm 68:1-6
