Psalm 68

For the choir director; a psalm by David; a song.

Elohim will arise.
    His enemies will be scattered.
    Those who hate him will flee from him.
Blow them away like smoke.
    Let wicked people melt in Elohim’s presence like wax next to a fire.

But let righteous people rejoice.
    Let them celebrate in Elohim’s presence.
    Let them overflow with joy.
