Psalm 68:1-6

May God arise, may his enemies be scattered; may his foes flee before him.  May you blow them away like smoke—as wax melts before the fire, may the wicked perish before God. But may the righteous be glad and rejoice before God; may they be happy and joyful. Sing to God, sing in praise of his name, extol him who rides on the clouds; rejoice before him—his name is the Lord. A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his holy dwelling. God sets the lonely in families, he leads out the prisoners with singing; but the rebellious live in a sun-scorched land.

In the world "the strong eat the weak," as the saying goes. But God's strength is seen in his care for the weak, so we should be famous for sacrificially loving the poor and marginalized. This reflects the Gospel itself, for God does not call people to earn salvation by strength. He came in weakness to die for us, to save those who admit their spiritual helplessness. God also created people to thrive best in families (Genesis 2:21-25). But for those without spouse, parent, or children there is God's family, the church (Mark 3:31-35), united by the common "life blood" of the Holy Spirit (Galatians 4:4-6), providing fathers and mothers and brothers and sisters and children (1 Timothy 5:1-2) for the lonely.
