To the chief Musician. Of David. A Psalm: a Song.

68 Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered, and let them that hate him flee before him.

As smoke is driven, thou wilt drive them away; as wax melteth before the fire, the wicked shall perish at the presence of God.

But the righteous shall rejoice: they shall exult before God and be glad with joy.
