Psalm 68:6-8
Revised Standard Version

6 God gives the desolate a home to dwell in;
    he leads out the prisoners to prosperity;
    but the rebellious dwell in a parched land.

7 O God, when thou didst go forth before thy people,
    when thou didst march through the wilderness,Selah
8 the earth quaked, the heavens poured down rain,
    at the presence of God;
yon Sinai quaked at the presence of God,
    the God of Israel.
