Psalm 68:4-6

God Shall Scatter His Enemies

4 Sing to God, j sing praises to his name;
k lift up a song to him who l rides through m the deserts;
his name is n the Lord;
exult before him!
5 o Father of the fatherless and p protector of widows
is God in his holy habitation.
6 God q settles the solitary in a home;
he r leads out the prisoners to prosperity,
but s the rebellious dwell in t a parched land.
