Psalms 68:5

5 He is a father to the fatherless
and an advocate for widows. ^{▼▼ God is depicted here as a just ruler. In the ancient Near Eastern world a king was responsible for promoting justice, including caring for the weak and vulnerable, epitomized by the fatherless and widows.}
God rules from his holy palace. ^{▼▼ Heb “God [is] in his holy dwelling place.” He occupies his throne and carries out his royal responsibilities.}
