Psalms 68:1

God's power and sovereignty
God arises. His enemies are scattered, and those who hate Him flee His presence.

2 As smoke is blown away, You will drive them out; as wax melts before the fire, the wicked will perish in the presence of God.

3 But the righteous will be glad and rejoice before God; they will celebrate with joy.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
