Psalm 68:1-3
Good News Translation

A National Song of Triumph[a]

68 God rises up and scatters his enemies.
    Those who hate him run away in defeat.
2 As smoke is blown away, so he drives them off;
    as wax melts in front of the fire,
    so do the wicked perish in God's presence.
3 But the righteous are glad and rejoice in his presence;
    they are happy and shout for joy.
