The Glory of God in His Goodness to Israel

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. A Song.

1 Let aGod arise,
Let His enemies be scattered;
Let those also who hate Him flee before Him. 
2 aAs smoke is driven away,
So drive them away;
bAs wax melts before the fire,
So let the wicked perish at the presence of God. 
3 But alet the righteous be glad;
Let them rejoice before God;
Yes, let them rejoice exceedingly. 
4 Sing to God, sing praises to His name;
aExtol1 Him who rides on the clouds,
bBy His name1 YAH,
And rejoice before Him. 
5 aA father of the fatherless, a defender of widows,
Is God in His holy habitation.

Psalms 68:3

But let the righteous be glad - That is, Let them be prosperous and happy; let them be under thy protecting care, and partake of thy favor. While the wicked are driven away like smoke, let the righteous live, and flourish, and be safe. Compare Psalms 32:11.

Let them rejoice beore God - In the presence of God; or as admitted to his presence. The wicked will be driven far off; the righteous will be admitted to his presence, and will rejoice before him.

Yea, let them exceedingly rejoice - Margin, as in Hebrew, rejoice with gladness. The expression is designed to express great joy; joy that is multiplied and prolonged. It is joy of heart accompanied with all the outward expressions of joy.
