Psalm 68:2-3
New King James Version
2 (A)As smoke is driven away,
So drive them away;
(B)As wax melts before the fire,
So let the wicked perish at the presence of God.
3 But (C)let the righteous be glad;
Let them rejoice before God;
Yes, let them rejoice exceedingly.
Psalm 68:4-5

4 Sing to God, sing praises to His name;
(A)Extol[a] Him who rides on the [b]clouds,
(B)By His name [c]Yah,
And rejoice before Him.
5 (C)A father of the fatherless, a defender of widows,
Is God in His holy habitation.
