Charles Ellicott Commentary Psalms 68:5

"A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, Is God in his holy habitation." — Psalms 68:5 (ASV)

The Septuagint and Vulgate prefix to this verse, “They shall be troubled by the face of Him who is,” etc., which seems to indicate that the abrupt introduction of this description of God is due to some loss in the text.

A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows. —These epithets of God seem to have become at a very early period almost proverbial.
