2 As smoke is driven away, so drive them away. As wax melts before the fire, So let the wicked perish at the presence of God.
3 But let the righteous be glad. Let them rejoice before God. Yes, let them rejoice with gladness.
4 Sing to God! Sing praises to his name! Extol him who rides on the clouds -- To Yah, his name! Rejoice before him.
5 A father of the fatherless, and a defender of the widows, Is God in his holy habitation.
6 God sets the lonely in families. He brings out the prisoners with singing, But the rebellious dwell in a sun-scorched land.
7 God, when you went forth before your people, When you marched through the wilderness... Selah.
8 The earth trembled. The sky also poured down rain at the presence of the God of Sinai -- At the presence of God, the God of Israel.
