Psalms 68:1-8

New Living Translation NLT

1 Rise up, O God, and scatter your enemies. Let those who hate God run for their lives.

2 Blow them away like smoke. Melt them like wax in a fire. Let the wicked perish in the presence of God.

3 But let the godly rejoice. Let them be glad in God’s presence. Let them be filled with joy.

4 Sing praises to God and to his name! Sing loud praises to him who rides the clouds. His name is the LORD — rejoice in his presence!

5 Father to the fatherless, defender of widows— this is God, whose dwelling is holy.

6 God places the lonely in families; he sets the prisoners free and gives them joy. But he makes the rebellious live in a sun-scorched land.

7 O God, when you led your people out from Egypt, when you marched through the dry wasteland, Interlude

8 the earth trembled, and the heavens poured down rain before you, the God of Sinai, before God, the God of Israel.

New International Version NIV

1 May God arise, may his enemies be scattered; may his foes flee before him.

2 May you blow them away like smoke— as wax melts before the fire, may the wicked perish before God.

3 But may the righteous be glad and rejoice before God; may they be happy and joyful.

4 Sing to God, sing in praise of his name, extol him who rides on the clouds ; rejoice before him—his name is the LORD.

6 God sets the lonely in families,he leads out the prisoners with singing; but the rebellious live in a sun-scorched land.

7 When you, God, went out before your people, when you marched through the wilderness,

8 the earth shook, the heavens poured down rain, before God, the One of Sinai, before God, the God of Israel.
