Today’s Scripture:

[a]May God arise, [b]may His enemies be scattered,And [c]may those who hate Him flee from His presence.2 As smoke is driven away, so drive them away;As wax melts before a fire,So the wicked will perish before God.3 But the righteous will be joyful; they will rejoice before God;Yes, they will rejoice with gladness.4 Sing to God, sing praises to His name;[d]Exalt Him who rides through the deserts,Whose name is [e]the Lord, and be jubilant before Him.
