Psalms 68:6

Context

68:6 God settles those who have been deserted in their own homes; 1 

he frees prisoners and grants them prosperity. 2 

But sinful rebels live in the desert. 3 

1 tn Heb “God causes the solitary ones to dwell in a house.” The participle suggests this is what God typically does.

2 tn Heb “he brings out prisoners into prosperity.” Another option is to translate, “he brings out prisoners with singing” (cf. NIV). The participle suggests this is what God typically does.

3 tn Or “in a parched [land].”

sn God delivers the downtrodden and oppressed, but sinful rebels who oppose his reign are treated appropriately.
