Psalm 68:1-3
International Standard Version

To the Director of music: A Psalm. A song.

A Song of Praise to God

68 God arises,
    and his enemies are scattered.
        Those who hate him flee from his presence.[a]
2 As smoke is driven away, so you drive them away.
    As wax melts in the presence of fire,
        so the wicked die in the presence of God.
3 But the righteous rejoice and exult before God;
    they are overwhelmed with joy.
