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. | 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. |
God gives the desolate a home to live in; he leads out the prisoners to prosperity, but the rebellious live in a parched land. | 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. |

Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears us up; God is our salvation. Selah | Blessed be the Lord, day after day, the God of our salvation, who carries our burden. Selah |
