Berean Standard Bible
“God settles the lonely in families; He leads the prisoners out to prosperity, but the rebellious dwell in a sun-scorched land.”
Psalms 68 is a victory hymn of David celebrating God's march with his people, praising him as a father to the fatherless and defender of widows just before this verse. It blends worship of the warrior king with his tenderness toward the weak.
