₁God rises up and scatters his enemies.

Those who hate him run away in defeat.

₂As 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.

₃But the righteous are glad and rejoice in his presence;

they are happy and shout for joy.

₄Sing 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!

₅God, who lives in his sacred Temple,

cares for orphans and protects widows.

₆He gives the lonely a home to live in

and leads prisoners out into happy freedom,

but rebels will have to live in a desolate land.

₇O God, when you led your people,

when you marched across the desert,

₈the earth shook, and the sky poured down rain,

because of the coming of the God of Sinai,

the coming of the God of Israel.

₉You caused abundant rain to fall

and restored your worn-out land;

₁₀your people made their home there;

in your goodness you provided for the poor.

₃₂Sing to God, kingdoms of the world,

sing praise to the Lord,

₃₃to him who rides in the sky,

the ancient sky.

Listen to him shout with a mighty roar.

₃₄Proclaim God's power;

his majesty is over Israel,

his might is in the skies.

₃₅How awesome is God as he comes from his sanctuary —

the God of Israel!

He gives strength and power to his people.

Praise God!
