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 the Lord, 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 out 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.
9. You, God, sent a plentiful rain.You confirmed your inheritance, when it was weary.
10. Your congregation lived therein.You, God, prepared your goodness for the poor.
