Psalms 68:1-3

[1] [[To the chief Musician,  A Psalm  or Song  of David.]]  Let God  arise,  let his enemies  be scattered:  let them also that hate  him flee  before  [2] As smoke  is driven away,  as wax  melteth  before  the fire,  so let the wicked  perish  at the presence  of God.  [3] But let the righteous  be glad;  let them rejoice  before  God:  yea, let them exceedingly  rejoice.
