Psalms 68:7

5 A father of the fatherless, and a defender of the widows, is God in His holy habitation.

6 God settles the lonely in families; He leads the prisoners out to prosperity, but the rebellious dwell in a sun-scorched land.

O God, when You went out before Your people, when You marched through the wasteland, Selah

8 the earth shook and the heavens poured down rain before God, the One on Sinai, before God, the God of Israel.

9 You sent abundant rain, O God; You refreshed Your weary inheritance.
