Psalm 68:5

God's Majestic Power

⁴
Sing to God, sing praises to His name;
Lift up a song for Him who rides through the desert—
His name is the Lord—be in good spirits before Him. ⁵ 
A father of the fatherless and a judge and protector of the widows,
Is God in His holy habitation.
⁶
God makes a home for the lonely;
He leads the prisoners into prosperity,
Only the stubborn and rebellious dwell in a parched land.
