Psalms 68:1-6 NIV

Psalms 68:1-6

Psalm 68In Hebrew texts 68:1-35 is numbered 68:2-36.

For the director of music. Of David. A psalm. A song.

May God arise, may his enemies be scattered;

may his foes flee before him.

May you blow them away like smoke—

as wax melts before the fire,

may the wicked perish before God.

But may the righteous be glad

and rejoice before God;

may they be happy and joyful.

Sing to God, sing in praise of his name,

extol him who rides on the clouds68:4 Or name, / prepare the way for him who rides through the deserts;

rejoice before him—his name is the Lord.

A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows,

is God in his holy dwelling.

God sets the lonely in families,68:6 Or the desolate in a homeland

he leads out the prisoners with singing;

but the rebellious live in a sun-scorched land.
