Ψαλμοί 68
1 εἰς τὸ τέλος τῷ Δαυιδ ψαλμὸς ᾠδῆς ἀναστήτω ὁ θεός καὶ διασκορπισθήτωσαν οἱ ἐχθροὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ φυγέτωσαν οἱ μισοῦντες αὐτὸν ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτοῦ
Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered. Let also those who hate him flee before him.

A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God in his holy habitation.
