| Sing to God, sing praise to his name; exalt him who rides upon the clouds. Rejoice in the presence of this God whose name is the Lord. The Father of orphans and the defender of widows: such is God in his holy dwelling place. | Sing to God, sing in praise of his name, extol him who rides on the clouds; rejoice before him—his name is the Lord. A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his holy dwelling. |
| He gives a home to those who are forsaken and leads out prisoners amid chants of exultation, while rebels are forced to live in an arid land. | God sets the lonely in families, he leads out the prisoners with singing; but the rebellious live in a sun-scorched land. |

| Blessed be the Lord, day after day, the God of our salvation, who carries our burden. Selah | Praise be to the Lord, to God our Savior, who daily bears our burdens. |
