GOD'S WORD Translation GW

1 God will arise. His enemies will be scattered. Those who hate him will flee from him.

5 The God who is in his holy dwelling place is the father of the fatherless and the defender of widows.

6 God places lonely people in families. He leads prisoners out of prison into productive lives, but rebellious people must live in an unproductive land.

7 O God, when you went in front of your people, when you marched through the desert, Selah

8 the earth quaked and the sky poured in the presence of the God of Sinai, in the presence of the God of Israel.
