To the Overcomer, A Psalm or Song of David.

¶ Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered; let those that hate him flee before him.

As smoke is driven away; so drive them away: as wax melts before the fire, so shall the wicked perish at the presence of God.

But the righteous shall be glad; they shall rejoice before God; they shall dance with joy.
