Psalm 68:2 in context

The verses around it, from Psalm 68.

1 For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. A song. God arises. His enemies are scattered, and those who hate Him flee His presence.

2 As smoke is blown away, You will drive them out; as wax melts before the fire, the wicked will perish in the presence of God.

3 But the righteous will be glad and rejoice before God; they will celebrate with joy.

4 Sing to God! Sing praises to His name. Exalt Him who rides on the clouds—His name is the LORD—and rejoice before Him.

5 A father of the fatherless, and a defender of the widows, is God in His holy habitation.

6 God settles the lonely in families; He leads the prisoners out to prosperity, but the rebellious dwell in a sun-scorched land.
