Psalms 68:2

NET ©

As smoke is driven away by the wind, so you drive them away. As wax melts before fire, so the wicked are destroyed before God.

NIV ©

As smoke is blown away by the wind, may you blow them away; as wax melts before the fire, may the wicked perish before God.

NASB ©

As smoke is driven away, so drive them away; As wax melts before the fire, So let the wicked perish before God.

NLT ©

Drive them off like smoke blown by the wind. Melt them like wax in fire. Let the wicked perish in the presence of God.

MSG ©

Gone like a puff of smoke, like a blob of wax in the fire--one look at God and the wicked vanish.

BBE ©

Let them be like smoke before the driving wind; as wax turning soft before the fire, so let them come to an end before the power of God.

NRSV ©

As smoke is driven away, so drive them away; as wax melts before the fire, let the wicked perish before God.

NKJV ©

As smoke is driven away, So drive them away; As wax melts before the fire, So let the wicked perish at the presence of God.
