1. For the leader. A psalm of David; a song.
2. May God arise;may his enemies be scattered;may those who hate him flee before him.
3. As the smoke is dispersed, disperse them;as wax is melted by fire,so may the wicked perish before God.
4. Then the just will be glad;they will rejoice before God;they will celebrate with great joy.
5. Sing to God, praise his name;exalt the rider of the clouds.Rejoice before himwhose name is the Lord.
6. Father of the fatherless, defender of widows—God in his holy abode,
7. God gives a home to the forsaken,who leads prisoners out to prosperity,while rebels live in the desert.
8. God, when you went forth before your people,when you marched through the desert,Selah
9. The earth quaked, the heavens poured,before God, the One of Sinai,before God, the God of Israel.
