Psalm 68:4-6
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
4 Sing to God; sing praises to his name;
lift up a song to him who rides upon the clouds[a]—
his name is the Lord—
be exultant before him.(A)
5 Father of orphans and protector of widows
is God in his holy habitation.(B)
6 God gives the desolate a home to live in;
he leads out the prisoners to prosperity,
but the rebellious live in a parched land.(C)
