5Make songs to God, make songs of praise to his name; make a way for him who comes through the waste lands; his name is Jah; be glad before him.
6A father to those who have no father, a judge of the widows, is God in his holy place.
7Those who are without friends, God puts in families; he makes free those who are in chains; but those who are turned away from him are given a dry land.
8O God, when you went out before your people, wandering through the waste land; (Selah.)
9The earth was shaking and the heavens were streaming, because God was present; even Sinai itself was moved before God, the God of Israel.
10You, O God, did freely send the rain, giving strength to the weariness of your heritage.
11Those whose resting-place was there, even the poor, were comforted by your good things, O God.
