Psalm 68:6-8
The Voice

6 He makes a home for those who are alone.
    He frees the prisoners and leads them to prosper.
Yet those who rebel against Him live in the barren land without His blessings and prosperity.

7 O True God, when You led Your enslaved people from Egypt,
    when You journeyed with us through the wilderness,

[pause][a]

8 The whole world trembled! The sky poured down rain
    at the power of Your presence; even Mount Sinai trembled in Your presence,
    the presence of the True God, the God of Israel.
