Psalm 68:1-3
Lexham English Bible

Praise to God for Providing Victory

For the music director. Of David. A psalm. A song.[a]

68 God will arise; his enemies will be scattered,
and those who hate him will flee from before him.
2 As smoke is driven off, you will drive them off.
As wax melts before fire,
the wicked will perish before God.
3 But the righteous will be glad; they will exalt before God,
and will rejoice with joy.
