Psalm 68:5

God's Majestic Power

⁴ Make songs to God, make songs of praise to his name; make a way for him who comes through the waste lands; his name is Jah; be glad before him. ⁵ A father to those who have no father, a judge of the widows, is God in his holy place. ⁶ Those who are without friends, God puts in families; he makes free those who are in chains; but those who are turned away from him are given a dry land.
