Psalm 68

God arises. His enemies scatter, . . .
God in his holy dwelling is
a father of the fatherless
and a champion of widows.

Lord, God Almighty, this Psalm recalls and highlights all the ways you are powerful.

Creator of life.

Sustainer.

Restorer.

Conqueror.

Savior.

And I see how you’ve chosen to apply your majesty and power. You are “father to the fatherless.” “Champion of widows.”

Lord, you use your power, your might, your majesty on behalf of the most vulnerable. And the world sees it, and rejoices.

Your enemies – those who love war who take advantage of the vulnerable – they can’t stand in your presence.

They melt away.

Praise God in the sanctuary!
