6 A father of orphans, defender of widows, is God in His holy dwelling.
7 God settles the lonely in a home. He leads prisoners out to prosperity. But the rebellious live in a parched land.
8 O God, when You went out before Your people, when You marched through the desert—Selah—
9 the earth shook, the heavens rained at the presence of God —the One of Sinai— at the presence of God, God of Israel.
10 You poured down abundant rain, O God. You sustained Your weary inheritance.
11 Your community settled in it. In Your goodness, O God, You provided for the poor.
12 The Lord gives the word— a great company of women proclaims the good news.
