Psalms 68:4 Context
2As smoke is driuen away, so driue them away: as waxe melteth before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God. 3But let the righteous be glad: let them reioyce before God, yea let them exceedingly reioyce. 4Sing vnto God, sing praises to his Name: extoll him that rideth vpon the heauens, by his Name Iah, and reioyce before him. 5A father of the fatherlesse, and a iudge of the widowes, is God in his holy habitation. 6God setteth the solitary in a families: hee bringeth out those which are bound with chaines, but the rebellious dwell in a dry land.
