God causes the lonely to dwell in families.[a]
    He leads prisoners into prosperity,
        but rebels live on parched land.

God, when you led out your people,
    when you marched through the desert,
Interlude
the land quaked.
Indeed, the heavens poured down rain
    from the presence of God,
        this God of Sinai,
    from the presence of God,
        the God of Israel.
