Psalm 68:1-3
Contemporary English Version

(A psalm and a song by David for the music leader.)

God Will Win the Battle

1 Do something, God!
Scatter your hateful enemies.
    Make them turn and run.
2 Scatter them like smoke!
When you come near,
    make them melt
    like wax in a fire.
3 But let your people be happy
    and celebrate because of you.
