Psalm 68, a song of David, King of Israel, 11th Century B.C.

1 God is already beginning to arise and His enemies (the dark forces at work behind the LRA and corrupt & cowardly government officials) to scatter.
Let them also who hate Him flee before Him!
2 As smoke is driven away, so drive them away, as wax melts before the fire, so let the wicked [dark forces] perish before the presence of God.
3 But let the just [humble Sudanese] be glad; let them be in high spirits and glory before God.....
5 A Father to the fatherless, and a judge and protector of widows, is God in His holy habitation.
6 God places the lonely in families and gives the desolate a home in which to dwell; He leads the prisoners out to prosperity; but the rebellious [LRA and dark forces] dwell in a parched land.
7 O God, when You went forth before Your people [and the lovely people of Sudan], when You marched through the wilderness,
8 the earth trembled, the heavens also poured down rain at the presence of God, and Sinai [Darfur] quaked at the presence of God, the God of Israel [Sudan].
9 You, O God, did send a plentiful rain, You did restore and confirm Your heritage when it languished and was weary.
10 Your flock found a dwelling place; You, O God, in Your goodness did provide for the poor and needy.
11 The Lord gives the word of power; the women who bear and publish the news are a great host.
12 Kings of the enemies' [dark forces'] armies, they flee, they flee! She who tarries at home divides the spoil left behind;
13 though you slackers may lie among the sheepfolds in slothful ease, yet for Israel [Sudan] the wings of a dove covered w/ silver are trophies taken from the enemy....
17 The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands upon thousands. The Lord is among them, as He was in Sinai [Darfur] in the holy place - the sanctuary of Israel [Sudan].
18 You have ascended on high. You have led captivity captive....
19 Blessed be the Lord, Who bears our burdens and carries us day by day, even the God Who is our salvation!
20 God is to us a God of deliverances and salvation, and to God, the Lord, belongs escape from death, setting us free.
21 But God will shatter the head of His enemies [the dark forces at work], those who go on still in their trespasses and guilty ways...
26 Bless God in the congregation...
28 God has commanded your strength, your might...O God, display Your might and strengthen what You have achieved for us! ....
30 ...trample under foot those who lust for tribute money; scatter the peoples [LRA & corruption] who delight in war.
31 Princes shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall hasten to stretch out her hands with offerings of submission to God.
32 Sing to God, O kingdoms of the earth; sing praises to the Lord!
33 Sing praises to Him Who rides upon the heavens, the ancient heavens; He sends forth His voice, His mighty voice.
34 Ascribe power and strength to God; His majesty is over Israel (Sudan, Africa), and His strength and might are in the skies.
35 O God, awe inspiring, profoundly impressive and terrible are You out of Your holy places; the God of Israel [Sudan], He gives strength and fullness of might to His people [humble people of Darfur]. Blessed be God!

(Read Isaiah 57 & 58 to continue this thought.)
