God's presencePrayer

34 And the cloud of the LORD was over them by day when they set out from the camp.

35 Whenever the ark set out, Moses would say, “Rise up, O LORD! May Your enemies be scattered; may those who hate You flee before You.”

And when it came to rest, he would say: “Return, O LORD, to the countless thousands of Israel.”
