5 God, who lives in his holy palace, is a father to orphans, and he takes care of widows.
6 God provides homes for those who are lonely. He frees people from prison and makes them happy. But those who turn against him will live in the desert.
7 God, you led your people out of Egypt. You marched across the desert. Selah
8 The ground shook and rain poured from the sky when God, the God of Israel, came to Sinai.

10 Your people came back to live there, and you provided good things for the poor.
