Psalm 68:6-8
EasyEnglish Bible

6 God gives homes and a family to lonely people.
He makes prisoners go free
    so that they are happy.
But people who turn against him
    have to live in a hot, dry land.[a]
7 God, you led your people out.
You took them across the desert.
Selah.
8 Then the ground shook,
    and rain poured down from the sky.
You showed your power at Sinai mountain.
You are the God who rules at Sinai.[b]
You are the God that Israel's people serve.
