681 Let God arise , let His enemies be scattered , And let those who hate Him flee before e Him. 2 As smoke is driven away , so drive them away ; As wax melts before e the fire , So let the wicked perish before e God . 3 But let the righteous be glad ; let them exult before God ; Yes, let them rejoice with gladness . 4 Sing to God , sing praises to His name ; Lift up a song for Him who rides through the deserts , Whose name is the Lord , and exult before Him. 5 A father of the fatherless and a judge for the widows , Is God in His holy habitation . 6 God makes a home for the lonely ; He leads out the prisoners into prosperity , Only the rebellious dwell in a parched land .

Commentary on Psalm 68:1-6
(Read Psalm 68:1-6)
None ever hardened his heart against God, and prospered. God is the joy of his people, then let them rejoice when they come before him. He who derives his being from none, but gives being to all, is engaged by promise and covenant to bless his people. He is to be praised as a God of mercy and tender compassion. He ever careth for the afflicted and oppressed: repenting sinners, who are helpless and exposed more than any fatherless children, are admitted into his family, and share all their blessings.
