Psalm 68:5

God's Majestic Power

⁴ Sing to God! Sing praise to his name! Exalt the one who rides on the clouds. The LORD is his name. Be jubilant in his presence. ⁵ A father to orphans and an advocate for widows is God in his holy dwelling place. ⁶ God causes the lonely to dwell in families. He leads prisoners into prosperity, but rebels live on parched land.
