Psalm 68:6-8
Contemporary English Version

6 You find families
    for those who are lonely.
You set prisoners free
    and let them prosper,[a]
but all who rebel will live
    in a scorching desert.

7 You set your people free,
and you led them
    through the desert.
8 (A) God of Israel,
the earth trembled,
    and rain poured down.
You alone are the God
    who rules from Mount Sinai.
