5-6. Father of orphans,champion of widows,is God in his holy house.God makes homes for the homeless,leads prisoners to freedom,but leaves rebels to rot in hell.
7-10. God, when you took the lead with your people,when you marched out into the wild,Earth shook, sky broke out in a sweat;God was on the march.Even Sinai trembled at the sight of God on the move,at the sight of Israel’s God.You pour out rain in buckets, O God;thorn and cactus become an oasisFor your people to camp in and enjoy.You set them up in business;they went from rags to riches.
11-14. The Lord gave the word;thousands called out the good news:“Kings of the armiesare on the run, on the run!”While housewives, safe and sound back home,divide up the plunder,the plunder of Canaanite silver and gold.On that day that Shaddai scattered the kings,snow fell on Black Mountain.
