A ^(j)father of the fatherless and a ^(k)judge ^[f]for the widows, Is God in His ^(l)holy habitation.

God ^[g](m)makes a home for the lonely; He ⁽ⁿ⁾leads out the prisoners into prosperity, Only ^(o)the rebellious dwell in a parched land.

O God, when You ^(p)went forth before Your people, When You ^(q)marched through the wilderness, ^[h]Selah.

The ^(r)earth quaked; The ^(s)heavens also dropped rain at the presence of God; ^[i](t)Sinai itself quaked at the presence of God, the God of Israel.

You ^(u)shed abroad a plentiful rain, O God; You confirmed Your inheritance when it was ^[j]parched.

Your creatures settled in it; You ^(v)provided in Your goodness for the poor, O God.

The Lord gives the ^[k]command; The ^(w)women who proclaim the good tidings are a great host:

"^(x)Kings of armies flee, they flee, And she who remains at home will ^(y)divide the spoil!"

^[l]When you lie down ^(z)among the ^[m]sheepfolds, You are like the wings of a dove covered with silver, And its pinions with glistening gold.

When the Almighty ^(aa)scattered the kings ^[n]there, It was snowing in ^(ab)Zalmon.

A ^[o](ac)mountain of God is the mountain of Bashan; A mountain of many peaks is the mountain of Bashan.

Why do you look with envy, O mountains with many peaks, At the mountain which God has ^(ad)desired for His abode? Surely ^(ae)the Lord will dwell there forever.
