Psalm 68

Let God rise up, let his enemies be scattered;
let those who hate him flee before him.
As smoke is driven away, so drive them away;
as wax melts before the fire,
let the wicked perish before God.
But let the righteous be joyful;
let them exult before God;
let them be jubilant with joy.

There was an error in the online tool I use to help me translate Hebrew.

The word translated in the first line as "enemies" and in the second line as hating God was said to mean one who excels, is bright, or who directs.

It was an error. The actual Hebrew is straightforward, enemies are enemies.

But it is often the case that those who find earthly success tend to disdain or simply dismiss God.

The psalmist continues: let the righteous be joyful, let the one with just purpose rejoice, the one who fulfills and is thereby fulfilled will exult, those who are filled up by giving away will exult.
