- Sing to God, sing praises to his name;
lift up a song to him who rides upon the clouds —
his name is the Lord—
be exultant before him.
Father of orphans and protector of widows
is God in his holy habitation. - God gives the desolate a home to live in;
he leads out the prisoners to prosperity,
but the rebellious live in a parched land. - Blessed be the Lord,
who daily bears us up;
God is our salvation. Selah
For God did not give us a spirit of cowardice, but rather a spirit of power and of love and of self-discipline.
