2 As smoke is driv'n, so drive thou them;as fire melts wax away,Before God's face let wicked menso perish and decay.
3 But let the righteous be glad:let them before God's sightBe very joyful; yea, let themrejoice with all their might.
4 To God sing, to his name sing praise;extol him with your voice,That rides on heav'n, by his name Jah,before his face rejoice.
5 Because the Lord a father isunto the fatherless;God is the widow's judge, withinhis place of holiness.
6 God doth the solitary setin fam'lies: and from bandsThe chain'd doth free; but rebels doinhabit parched lands.
7 O God, what time thou didst go forthbefore thy people's face;And when through the great wildernessthy glorious marching was;
8 Then at God's presence shook the earth,then drops from heaven fell;This Sinai shook before the Lord,the God of Israel.
