2 As smoke is blown away, so he drives them off;as wax melts in front of the fire,so do the wicked perish in God's presence.
3 But the righteous are glad and rejoice in his presence;they are happy and shout for joy.
4 Sing to God, sing praises to his name;prepare a way for him who rides on the clouds.His name is the Lord — be glad in his presence!
5 God, who lives in his sacred Temple,cares for orphans and protects widows.
6 He gives the lonely a home to live inand leads prisoners out into happy freedom,but rebels will have to live in a desolate land.
7 O God, when you led your people,when you marched across the desert,
8 the earth shook, and the sky poured down rain,because of the coming of the God of Sinai,the coming of the God of Israel.
