Psalms 68:4-6 NLT

4 Sing praises to God and to his name!Sing loud praises to him who rides the clouds.His name is the Lord—rejoice in his presence! 5 Father to the fatherless, defender of widows—this is God, whose dwelling is holy. 6 God places the lonely in families;he sets the prisoners free and gives them joy.But he makes the rebellious live in a sun-scorched land.
