- Sing praises to God and to his name!
Sing loud praises to him who rides the clouds.
His name is the Lord—
rejoice in his presence!
Father to the fatherless, defender of widows—
this is God, whose dwelling is holy. - God places the lonely in families;
he sets the prisoners free and gives them joy.
But he makes the rebellious live in a sun-scorched land. - Praise the Lord; praise God our savior!
For each day he carries us in his arms.
He alone is my rock and my salvation,
my fortress where I will not be shaken.
