New International Version
Psalm 68:4-11
New International Version
4 Sing to God, sing in praise of his name,(A)
extol him who rides on the clouds[a](B);
rejoice before him—his name is the Lord.(C)
5 A father to the fatherless,(D) a defender of widows,(E)
is God in his holy dwelling.(F)
6 God sets the lonely(G) in families,[b](H)
he leads out the prisoners(I) with singing;
but the rebellious live in a sun-scorched land.(J)
7 When you, God, went out(K) before your people,
when you marched through the wilderness,[c](L)
8 the earth shook,(M) the heavens poured down rain,(N)
before God, the One of Sinai,(O)
before God, the God of Israel.(P)
9 You gave abundant showers,(Q) O God;
you refreshed your weary inheritance.
10 Your people settled in it,
and from your bounty,(R) God, you provided(S) for the poor.
11 The Lord announces the word,
and the women who proclaim it are a mighty throng:(T)

Psalm 68:4-11
King James Version
Psalm 68:4-11
King James Version
4 Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth upon the heavens by his name Jah, and rejoice before him.
5 A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God in his holy habitation.
6 God setteth the solitary in families: he bringeth out those which are bound with chains: but the rebellious dwell in a dry land.
7 O God, when thou wentest forth before thy people, when thou didst march through the wilderness; Selah:
8 The earth shook, the heavens also dropped at the presence of God: even Sinai itself was moved at the presence of God, the God of Israel.
9 Thou, O God, didst send a plentiful rain, whereby thou didst confirm thine inheritance, when it was weary.
10 Thy congregation hath dwelt therein: thou, O God, hast prepared of thy goodness for the poor.
11 The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that published it.
