⁴ Sing to God, sing praises to his name.
Lift up a song to the rider on the clouds—his name is Yah—^[a]
and rejoice before him.

⁵ A father to orphans and a judge for widows
is God in his holy habitation.

⁷ who executes justice for the oppressed,
who gives food for the hungry.
Yahweh sets prisoners free;

⁹ Yahweh protects^[a] the strangers.
He helps up the orphan and the widow,
but the way of the wicked he thwarts.^[b]
