Psalm 68 (English Standard Version)

2 As smoke is driven away, so you shall drive them away;
as wax melts before fire,
so the wicked shall perish before God!
3 But the righteous shall be glad;
they shall exult before God;
they shall be jubilant with joy!
4 Sing to God, sing praises to his name;
lift up a song to him who rides through the deserts;
his name is the Lord;
exult before him!
5 Father of the fatherless and protector of widows
is God in his holy habitation.
6 God settles the solitary in a home;
he leads out the prisoners to prosperity,
but the rebellious dwell in a parched land.
7 O God, when you went out before your people,
when you marched through the wilderness,
8 the earth quaked, the heavens poured down rain,
before God, the One of Sinai,
before God, the God of Israel.
9 Rain in abundance, O God, you shed abroad;
you restored your inheritance as it languished;

Psalm 68 (Free Bible Version)

2 Blow them away as if they were smoke; melt them like beeswax in a fire. Let the wicked die in God's presence.
3 But those who are right with God are happy, and they celebrate in God's presence, full of joy.
4 Sing praises to God! Sing praises to his wonderful reputation! Praise the rider of the clouds—his name is the Lord! Be happy in his presence!
5 He is a father to the orphans, a protector of widows. This is who God is, who lives in his holy place.
6 God gives those who are abandoned a family to live with. He sets prisoners free with celebration. But those who rebel live in a desert wasteland.
7 God, when you led your people out, when you marched through the desert, Selah,
8 the earth quaked, and the heavens shook before God, the one of Sinai; before God, the God of Israel.
9 You sent plenty of rain to water the promised land; refreshing it when it was dry.
