But may the righteous be glad
    and rejoice(A) before God;

    extol him who rides on the clouds[a](C);
    rejoice before him—his name is the Lord.(D)
A father to the fatherless,(E) a defender of widows,(F)
    is God in his holy dwelling.(G)

    he leads out the prisoners(J) with singing;
    but the rebellious live in a sun-scorched land.(K)
