4 Sing to God! Sing praises to his name!Exalt the one who rides the clouds!The Lord is his name.Celebrate before him!
5 Father of orphans and defender of widowsis God in his holy habitation.
6 God settles the lonely in their homes;he sets prisoners free with happiness,but the rebellious dwell in a parched land.
7 When you went forth before your people, God,when you marched through the wasteland, Selah
8 the earth shook!Yes, heaven poured downbefore God, the one from Sinai—before God, the God of Israel!
9 You showered down abundant rain, God;when your inheritance grew weary,you restored it yourself,
10 and your creatures settled in it.In your goodness, God,you provided for the poor.
