3 But let righteous people rejoice.Let them celebrate in God’s presence.Let them overflow with joy.
4 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.
5 The God who is in his holy dwelling placeis the father of the fatherless and the defender of widows.
6 God places lonely people in families.He leads prisoners out of prison into productive lives,but rebellious people must live in an unproductive land.
7 O God, when you went in front of your people,when you marched through the desert, Selah
8 the earth quaked and the sky pouredin the presence of the God of Sinai,in the presence of the God of Israel.
9 You watered the land with plenty of rain, O God.You refreshed it when your land was exhausted.
