To the director: A praise song of David.

68 God, get up and scatter your enemies!
    May all your enemies run from you.
May your enemies be scattered
    like smoke blown away by the wind.
May your enemies be destroyed
    like wax melting in a fire.
But let good people be happy.
    Let them gather before God and enjoy themselves together.

Psalm 68[a]

For the director of music. Of David. A psalm. A song.

May God arise,(A) may his enemies be scattered;(B)
    may his foes flee(C) before him.
May you blow them away like smoke—(D)
    as wax melts(E) before the fire,
    may the wicked perish(F) before God.
But may the righteous be glad
    and rejoice(G) before God;
    may they be happy and joyful.
