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

Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears us up; God is our salvation. Selah | Praise the Lord; praise God our savior! For each day he carries us in his arms. |
