God sets the deserted in families;
    He brings out prisoners into prosperity,
    but the rebellious dwell in a dry land.

O God, when You went forth before Your people,
    when You marched through the wasteland, Selah
the earth shook;
    the heavens also poured down rain
at the presence of God; even Sinai shook
    at the presence of God, the God of Israel.
