1. God rises up and scatters his enemies.Those who hate him run away in defeat.
2. As smoke is blown away, so he drives them off;as wax melts in front of the fire,so do the wicked perish in God's presence.
3. But the righteous are glad and rejoice in his presence;they are happy and shout for joy.
4. Sing to God, sing praises to his name;prepare a way for him who rides on the clouds.His name is the Lord — be glad in his presence!
5. God, who lives in his sacred Temple,cares for orphans and protects widows.
6. He gives the lonely a home to live inand leads prisoners out into happy freedom,but rebels will have to live in a desolate land.
