Psalms 68:1-6, 19-20, 32, 35

God 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 God’s presence like wax next to a fire. But let righteous people rejoice. Let them celebrate in God’s presence. Let them overflow with joy. Sing to God; make music to praise his name. Make a highway for him to ride through the deserts. The LORD is his name. Celebrate in his presence. The God who is in his holy dwelling place is the father of the fatherless and the defender of widows. God places lonely people in families. He leads prisoners out of prison into productive lives, but rebellious people must live in an unproductive land.

Thanks be to the Lord, who daily carries our burdens for us. God is our salvation. Selah Our God is the God of victories. The Almighty LORD is our escape from death.

You kingdoms of the world, sing to God. Make music to praise the Lord. Selah

God, the God of Israel, is awe-inspiring in his holy place. He gives strength and power to his people. Thanks be to God!
