A ^(C1)father of the fatherless and a ^(C2)judge ^(F1)for the widows, Is God in His ^(C3)holy dwelling.

God ^(F1)(C1)makes a home for the lonely; He ^(C2)leads out the prisoners into prosperity, Only ^(C3)the rebellious live in parched lands.

God, when You ^(C1)went forth before Your people, When You ^(C2)marched through the desert, Selah

The ^(C1)earth quaked; The ^(C2)heavens also dropped rain at the presence of God; ^(F1)(C3)Sinai itself quaked at the presence of God, the God of Israel.

You ^(C1)made plentiful rain fall, God; You confirmed Your inheritance when it was ^(F1)parched.

Your creatures settled in it; In Your kindness You ^(C1)provided for the poor, God.

The Lord gives the ^(F1)command; The ^(C1)women who proclaim good news are a great army:

"^(C1)Kings of armies flee, they flee, And she who remains at home will ^(C2)divide the spoils!"

^(F1)When you lie down ^(C1)among the sheepfolds, You are like the wings of a dove covered with silver, And its pinions with ^(F2)glistening gold.

When the Almighty ^(C1)scattered the kings ^(F1)there, It was snowing in ^(C2)Zalmon.

^(C1)The mountain of Bashan is a ^(F1)mountain of God; The mountain of Bashan is a mountain of many peaks.

Why do you look with envy, you mountains of many peaks, At the mountain God has ^(C1)desired as His dwelling? Indeed, ^(C2)the LORD will dwell there forever.
