2Blow them away as if they were smoke; melt them like beeswax in a fire. Let the wicked die in God's presence.
3But those who are right with God are happy, and they celebrate in God's presence, full of joy.
4Sing praises to God! Sing praises to his wonderful reputation! Praise the rider of the clouds—his name is the Lord! Be happy in his presence!
5He is a father to the orphans, a protector of widows. This is who God is, who lives in his holy place.
6God gives those who are abandoned a family to live with. He sets prisoners free with celebration. But those who rebel live in a desert wasteland.
7God, when you led your people out, when you marched through the desert, Selah,
8the earth quaked, and the heavens shook before God, the one of Sinai; before God, the God of Israel.
9You sent plenty of rain to water the promised land; refreshing it when it was dry.
10Your people settled there, and because of your kindness, God, you looked after the poor. Selah.
11The Lord gives the command, and a great army of women spread the good news.
12The kings of the foreign armies are quick to run away, and the women who stayed at home divide the plunder!
13Why are you staying at home? There are ornaments in the shape of a dove with wings of silver and feathers of fine gold to be taken.
14The Almighty scattered the foreign kings like a snowstorm on Mount Zalmon.
15“Mountain of God,” Mount Bashan, with your many high peaks, Mount Bashan,
16why do you look enviously, mountain with many peaks, at the mountain God chose as his home, where the Lord will live forever?
17God's chariots can't be counted; there are thousands and thousands of them. He comes among them from Sinai into his Temple.
18As you ascended to your high throne you led a procession of prisoners. You received gifts from the people, even from those who had rebelled against the home of the Lord God.
19May the Lord be blessed, for every day he carries our burdens. God is our salvation. Selah.
