11May 2GodH430 ariseH6965, 3may His enemiesH340 be scatteredH6327, And 4may those who hateH8130 Him fleeH5127 from His presenceH6440.2As 5smokeH6227 is drivenH5086 awayH5086, so driveH5086 them awayH5086; As 6waxH1749 meltsH4549 beforeH4480H6440 a fireH784, So the 7wickedH7563 will perishH6 beforeH4480H6440 GodH430.3But the 8righteousH6662 will beH8055 joyfulH8055; they will rejoiceH5970 beforeH6440 GodH430; Yes, they will rejoiceH7797 with gladnessH8057.4SingH7891 to GodH430, 9singH2167 praisesH2167 to His nameH8034; 1011ExaltH5549 Him who 12ridesH7392 through the desertsH6160, Whose 13nameH8034 is 14the LordH3050, and beH5937 jubilantH5937 beforeH6440 Him.

5A 15fatherH1 of the fatherlessH3490 and a 16judgeH1781 17for the widowsH490, Is GodH430 in His 18holyH6944 dwellingH4583.6GodH430 1920makesH3427 a homeH1004 for the lonelyH3173; He 21leadsH3318 out the prisonersH615 into prosperityH3574, OnlyH389 22the rebelliousH5637 liveH7931 inH7931 parchedH6707 landsH6707.

7GodH430, when You 23wentH3318 forthH3318 beforeH6440 Your peopleH5971, When You 24marchedH6805 through the desertH3452, SelahH55428The 25earthH776 quakedH7493; The 26heavensH8064 alsoH637 droppedH5197 rain at the presenceH6440 of GodH430; 2728SinaiH5514 itselfH2088 quaked at the presenceH6440 of GodH430, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478.9You 29madeH5130 plentifulH5071 rainH1653 fallH5130, GodH430; You confirmedH3559 Your inheritanceH5159 when it wasH3811 30parchedH3811.10Your creaturesH2421 settledH3427 in it; In Your kindnessH2899 You 31providedH3559 for the poorH6041, GodH430.

11The LordH136 givesH5414 the 32commandH561; The 33women who proclaimH1319 goodH1319 newsH1319 are a greatH7227 armyH6635:12“34KingsH4428 of armiesH6635 fleeH5074, they fleeH5074, And she whoH5116 remainsH5116 at homeH1004 will 35divideH2505 the spoilsH7998!”1336WhenH518 you lieH7901 downH7901 37amongH996 the sheepfoldsH8240, You are like the wingsH3671 of a doveH3123 coveredH2645 with silverH3701, And its pinionsH84 with 38glisteningH3422 goldH2742.14When the AlmightyH7706 39scatteredH6566 the kingsH4428 40there, It was snowingH7949 in 41ZalmonH6756.

1542The mountainH2022 of BashanH1316 is a 43mountainH2022 of GodH430; The mountainH2022 of BashanH1316 is a mountainH2022 of manyH1386 peaksH1386.16WhyH4100 do you lookH7520 withH7520 envyH7520, you mountainsH2022 of manyH1386 peaksH1386, At the mountainH2022 GodH430 has 44desiredH2530 as His dwellingH3427?
