- 61:1 To the chief Musician upon Neginah, [A Psalm] of David.
- Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.
- 61:2 From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my
- heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock [that] is higher than
- I.
- 61:3 For thou hast been a shelter for me, [and] a strong
- tower from the enemy.
- 61:4 I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in
- the covert of thy wings. Selah.
- 61:5 For thou, O God, hast heard my vows: thou hast given
- [me] the heritage of those that fear thy name.
- 61:6 Thou wilt prolong the king's life: [and] his years as
- many generations.
- 61:7 He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare mercy and
- truth, [which] may preserve him.
- 61:8 So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may
- daily perform my vows.
- 62:1 To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun, A Psalm of David.
- Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him [cometh] my salvation.
- 62:2 He only [is] my rock and my salvation; [he is] my
- defence; I shall not be greatly moved.
- 62:3 How long will ye imagine mischief against a man? ye
- shall be slain all of you: as a bowing wall [shall ye be, and
- as] a tottering fence.
- 62:4 They only consult to cast [him] down from his
- excellency: they delight in lies: they bless with their mouth,
- but they curse inwardly. Selah.
- 62:5 My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation
- [is] from him.
- 62:6 He only [is] my rock and my salvation: [he is] my
- defence; I shall not be moved.
- 62:7 In God [is] my salvation and my glory: the rock of my
- strength, [and] my refuge, [is] in God.
- 62:8 Trust in him at all times; [ye] people, pour out your
- heart before him: God [is] a refuge for us. Selah.
- 62:9 Surely men of low degree [are] vanity, [and] men of high
- degree [are] a lie: to be laid in the balance, they [are]
- altogether [lighter] than vanity.
- 62:10 Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in
- robbery: if riches increase, set not your heart [upon them].
- 62:11 God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that
- power [belongeth] unto God.
- 62:12 Also unto thee, O Lord, [belongeth] mercy: for thou
- renderest to every man according to his work.
- 63:1 A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of
- Judah. O God, thou [art] my God; early will I seek thee: my
- soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and
- thirsty land, where no water is;
- 63:2 To see thy power and thy glory, so [as] I have seen thee
- in the sanctuary.
- 63:3 Because thy lovingkindness [is] better than life, my
- lips shall praise thee.
- 63:4 Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my
- hands in thy name.
- 63:5 My soul shall be satisfied as [with] marrow and fatness;
- and my mouth shall praise [thee] with joyful lips:
- 63:6 When I remember thee upon my bed, [and] meditate on thee
- in the [night] watches.
- 63:7 Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow
- of thy wings will I rejoice.
- 63:8 My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand
- upholdeth me.
- 63:9 But those [that] seek my soul, to destroy [it], shall go
- into the lower parts of the earth.
- 63:10 They shall fall by the sword: they shall be a portion
- for foxes.
- 63:11 But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that
- sweareth by him shall glory: but the mouth of them that speak
- lies shall be stopped.
- 64:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. Hear my voice,
- O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy.
- 64:2 Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the
- insurrection of the workers of iniquity:
- 64:3 Who whet their tongue like a sword, [and] bend [their
- bows to shoot] their arrows, [even] bitter words:
- 64:4 That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly
- do they shoot at him, and fear not.
- 64:5 They encourage themselves [in] an evil matter: they
- commune of laying snares privily; they say, Who shall see them?
- 64:6 They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent
- search: both the inward [thought] of every one [of them], and
- the heart, [is] deep.
- 64:7 But God shall shoot at them [with] an arrow; suddenly
- shall they be wounded.
- 64:8 So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon
- themselves: all that see them shall flee away.
- 64:9 And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of
- God; for they shall wisely consider of his doing.
- 64:10 The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall
- trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.
- 65:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm [and] Song of David.
- Praise waiteth for thee, O God, in Sion: and unto thee shall
- the vow be performed.
- 65:2 O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh
- come.
- 65:3 Iniquities prevail against me: [as for] our
- transgressions, thou shalt purge them away.
- 65:4 Blessed [is the man whom] thou choosest, and causest to
- approach [unto thee, that] he may dwell in thy courts: we shall
- be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, [even] of thy holy
- temple.
- 65:5 [By] terrible things in righteousness wilt thou answer
- us, O God of our salvation; [who art] the confidence of all the
- ends of the earth, and of them that are afar off [upon] the
- sea:
- 65:6 Which by his strength setteth fast the mountains;
- [being] girded with power:
- 65:7 Which stilleth the noise of the seas, the noise of their
- waves, and the tumult of the people.
- 65:8 They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid
- at thy tokens: thou makest the outgoings of the morning and
- evening to rejoice.
- 65:9 Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it: thou greatly
- enrichest it with the river of God, [which] is full of water:
- thou preparest them corn, when thou hast so provided for it.
- 65:10 Thou waterest the ridges thereof abundantly: thou
- settlest the furrows thereof: thou makest it soft with showers:
- thou blessest the springing thereof.
- 65:11 Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; and thy paths
- drop fatness.
- 65:12 They drop [upon] the pastures of the wilderness: and
- the little hills rejoice on every side.
- 65:13 The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also
- are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing.
- 66:1 To the chief Musician, A Song [or] Psalm. Make a joyful
- noise unto God, all ye lands:
- 66:2 Sing forth the honour of his name: make his praise
- glorious.
- 66:3 Say unto God, How terrible [art thou in] thy works!
- through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit
- themselves unto thee.
- 66:4 All the earth shall worship thee, and shall sing unto
- thee; they shall sing [to] thy name. Selah.
- 66:5 Come and see the works of God: [he is] terrible [in his]
- doing toward the children of men.
- 66:6 He turned the sea into dry [land]: they went through the
- flood on foot: there did we rejoice in him.
- 66:7 He ruleth by his power for ever; his eyes behold the
- nations: let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah.
- 66:8 O bless our God, ye people, and make the voice of his
- praise to be heard:
- 66:9 Which holdeth our soul in life, and suffereth not our
- feet to be moved.
- 66:10 For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us, as
- silver is tried.
- 66:11 Thou broughtest us into the net; thou laidst affliction
- upon our loins.
- 66:12 Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went
- through fire and through water: but thou broughtest us out into
- a wealthy [place].
- 66:13 I will go into thy house with burnt offerings: I will
- pay thee my vows,
- 66:14 Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken,
- when I was in trouble.
- 66:15 I will offer unto thee burnt sacrifices of fatlings,
- with the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats.
- Selah.
- 66:16 Come [and] hear, all ye that fear God, and I will
- declare what he hath done for my soul.
- 66:17 I cried unto him with my mouth, and he was extolled
- with my tongue.
- 66:18 If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not
- hear [me]:
- 66:19 [But] verily God hath heard [me]; he hath attended to
- the voice of my prayer.
- 66:20 Blessed [be] God, which hath not turned away my prayer,
- nor his mercy from me.
- 67:1 To the chief Musician on Neginoth, A Psalm [or] Song.
- God be merciful unto us, and bless us; [and] cause his face to
- shine upon us; Selah.
- 67:2 That thy way may be known upon earth, thy saving health
- among all nations.
- 67:3 Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people
- praise thee.
- 67:4 O let the nations be glad and sing for joy: for thou
- shalt judge the people righteously, and govern the nations upon
- earth. Selah.
- 67:5 Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people
- praise thee.
- 67:6 [Then] shall the earth yield her increase; [and] God,
- [even] our own God, shall bless us.
- 67:7 God shall bless us; and all the ends of the earth shall
- fear him.
- 68:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm [or] Song of David. Let
- God arise, let his enemies be scattered: let them also that
- hate him flee before him.
- 68:2 As smoke is driven away, [so] drive [them] away: as wax
- melteth before the fire, [so] let the wicked perish at the
- presence of God.
- 68:3 But let the righteous be glad; let them rejoice before
- God: yea, let them exceedingly rejoice.
- 68:4 Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that
- rideth upon the heavens by his name JAH, and rejoice before
- him.
- 68:5 A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows,
- [is] God in his holy habitation.
- 68:6 God setteth the solitary in families: he bringeth out
- those which are bound with chains: but the rebellious dwell in
- a dry [land].
- 68:7 O God, when thou wentest forth before thy people, when
- thou didst march through the wilderness; Selah:
- 68:8 The earth shook, the heavens also dropped at the
- presence of God: [even] Sinai itself [was moved] at the
- presence of God, the God of Israel.
- 68:9 Thou, O God, didst send a plentiful rain, whereby thou
- didst confirm thine inheritance, when it was weary.
- 68:10 Thy congregation hath dwelt therein: thou, O God, hast
- prepared of thy goodness for the poor.
- 68:11 The Lord gave the word: great [was] the company of
- those that published [it].
- 68:12 Kings of armies did flee apace: and she that tarried at
- home divided the spoil.
- 68:13 Though ye have lien among the pots, [yet shall ye be
- as] the wings of a dove covered with silver, and her feathers
- with yellow gold.
- 68:14 When the Almighty scattered kings in it, it was [white]
- as snow in Salmon.
- 68:15 The hill of God [is as] the hill of Bashan; an high
- hill [as] the hill of Bashan.
- 68:16 Why leap ye, ye high hills? [this is] the hill [which]
- God desireth to dwell in; yea, the LORD will dwell [in it] for
- ever.
- 68:17 The chariots of God [are] twenty thousand, [even]
- thousands of angels: the Lord [is] among them, [as in] Sinai,
- in the holy [place].
- 68:18 Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity
- captive: thou hast received gifts for men; yea, [for] the
- rebellious also, that the LORD God might dwell [among them].
- 68:19 Blessed [be] the Lord, [who] daily loadeth us [with
- benefits, even] the God of our salvation. Selah.
- 68:20 [He that is] our God [is] the God of salvation; and
- unto GOD the Lord [belong] the issues from death.
- 68:21 But God shall wound the head of his enemies, [and] the
- hairy scalp of such an one as goeth on still in his trespasses.
- 68:22 The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will
- bring [my people] again from the depths of the sea:
- 68:23 That thy foot may be dipped in the blood of [thine]
- enemies, [and] the tongue of thy dogs in the same.
- 68:24 They have seen thy goings, O God; [even] the goings of
- my God, my King, in the sanctuary.
- 68:25 The singers went before, the players on instruments
- [followed] after; among [them were] the damsels playing with
- timbrels.
- 68:26 Bless ye God in the congregations, [even] the Lord,
- from the fountain of Israel.
- 68:27 There [is] little Benjamin [with] their ruler, the
- princes of Judah [and] their council, the princes of Zebulun,
- [and] the princes of Naphtali.
- 68:28 Thy God hath commanded thy strength: strengthen, O God,
- that which thou hast wrought for us.
- 68:29 Because of thy temple at Jerusalem shall kings bring
- presents unto thee.
- 68:30 Rebuke the company of spearmen, the multitude of the
- bulls, with the calves of the people, [till every one] submit
- himself with pieces of silver: scatter thou the people [that]
- delight in war.
- 68:31 Princes shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall soon
- stretch out her hands unto God.
- 68:32 Sing unto God, ye kingdoms of the earth; O sing praises
- unto the Lord; Selah:
- 68:33 To him that rideth upon the heavens of heavens, [which
- were] of old; lo, he doth send out his voice, [and that] a
- mighty voice.
- 68:34 Ascribe ye strength unto God: his excellency [is] over
- Israel, and his strength [is] in the clouds.
- 68:35 O God, [thou art] terrible out of thy holy places: the
- God of Israel [is] he that giveth strength and power unto [his]
- people. Blessed [be] God.
- 69:1 To the chief Musician upon Shoshannim, [A Psalm] of
- David. Save me, O God; for the waters are come in unto [my]
- soul.
- 69:2 I sink in deep mire, where [there is] no standing: I am
- come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.
- 69:3 I am weary of my crying: my throat is dried: mine eyes
- fail while I wait for my God.
- 69:4 They that hate me without a cause are more than the
- hairs of mine head: they that would destroy me, [being] mine
- enemies wrongfully, are mighty: then I restored [that] which I
- took not away.
- 69:5 O God, thou knowest my foolishness; and my sins are not
- hid from thee.
- 69:6 Let not them that wait on thee, O Lord GOD of hosts, be
- ashamed for my sake: let not those that seek thee be confounded
- for my sake, O God of Israel.
- 69:7 Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; shame hath
- covered my face.
- 69:8 I am become a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien
- unto my mother's children.
- 69:9 For the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up; and the
- reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me.
- 69:10 When I wept, [and chastened] my soul with fasting, that
- was to my reproach.
- 69:11 I made sackcloth also my garment; and I became a
- proverb to them.
- 69:12 They that sit in the gate speak against me; and I [was]
- the song of the drunkards.
- 69:13 But as for me, my prayer [is] unto thee, O LORD, [in]
- an acceptable time: O God, in the multitude of thy mercy hear
- me, in the truth of thy salvation.
- 69:14 Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink: let me
- be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the deep
- waters.
- 69:15 Let not the waterflood overflow me, neither let the
- deep swallow me up, and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me.
- 69:16 Hear me, O LORD; for thy lovingkindness [is] good: turn
- unto me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies.
- 69:17 And hide not thy face from thy servant; for I am in
- trouble: hear me speedily.
- 69:18 Draw nigh unto my soul, [and] redeem it: deliver me
- because of mine enemies.
- 69:19 Thou hast known my reproach, and my shame, and my
- dishonour: mine adversaries [are] all before thee.
- 69:20 Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am full of
- heaviness: and I looked [for some] to take pity, but [there
- was] none; and for comforters, but I found none.
- 69:21 They gave me also gall for my meat; and in my thirst
- they gave me vinegar to drink.
- 69:22 Let their table become a snare before them: and [that
- which should have been] for [their] welfare, [let it become] a
- trap.
- 69:23 Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; and make
- their loins continually to shake.
- 69:24 Pour out thine indignation upon them, and let thy
- wrathful anger take hold of them.
- 69:25 Let their habitation be desolate; [and] let none dwell
- in their tents.
- 69:26 For they persecute [him] whom thou hast smitten; and
- they talk to the grief of those whom thou hast wounded.
- 69:27 Add iniquity unto their iniquity: and let them not come
- into thy righteousness.
- 69:28 Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and
- not be written with the righteous.
- 69:29 But I [am] poor and sorrowful: let thy salvation, O
- God, set me up on high.
- 69:30 I will praise the name of God with a song, and will
- magnify him with thanksgiving.
- 69:31 [This] also shall please the LORD better than an ox
- [or] bullock that hath horns and hoofs.
- 69:32 The humble shall see [this, and] be glad: and your
- heart shall live that seek God.
- 69:33 For the LORD heareth the poor, and despiseth not his
- prisoners.
- 69:34 Let the heaven and earth praise him, the seas, and
- every thing that moveth therein.
- 69:35 For God will save Zion, and will build the cities of
- Judah: that they may dwell there, and have it in possession.
- 69:36 The seed also of his servants shall inherit it: and
- they that love his name shall dwell therein.
- 70:1 To the chief Musician, [A Psalm] of David, to bring to
- remembrance. [Make haste], O God, to deliver me; make haste to
- help me, O LORD.
- 70:2 Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek after my
- soul: let them be turned backward, and put to confusion, that
- desire my hurt.
- 70:3 Let them be turned back for a reward of their shame that
- say, Aha, aha.
- 70:4 Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in
- thee: and let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let
- God be magnified.
- 70:5 But I [am] poor and needy: make haste unto me, O God:
- thou [art] my help and my deliverer; O LORD, make no tarrying.
- 71:1 In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust: let me never be put
- to confusion.
- 71:2 Deliver me in thy righteousness, and cause me to escape:
- incline thine ear unto me, and save me.
- 71:3 Be thou my strong habitation, whereunto I may
- continually resort: thou hast given commandment to save me; for
- thou [art] my rock and my fortress.
- 71:4 Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, out
- of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.
- 71:5 For thou [art] my hope, O Lord GOD: [thou art] my trust
- from my youth.
- 71:6 By thee have I been holden up from the womb: thou art he
- that took me out of my mother's bowels: my praise [shall be]
- continually of thee.
- 71:7 I am as a wonder unto many; but thou [art] my strong
- refuge.
- 71:8 Let my mouth be filled [with] thy praise [and with] thy
- honour all the day.
- 71:9 Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not
- when my strength faileth.
- 71:10 For mine enemies speak against me; and they that lay
- wait for my soul take counsel together,
- 71:11 Saying, God hath forsaken him: persecute and take him;
- for [there is] none to deliver [him].
- 71:12 O God, be not far from me: O my God, make haste for my
- help.
- 71:13 Let them be confounded [and] consumed that are
- adversaries to my soul; let them be covered [with] reproach and
- dishonour that seek my hurt.
- 71:14 But I will hope continually, and will yet praise thee
- more and more.
- 71:15 My mouth shall show forth thy righteousness [and] thy
- salvation all the day; for I know not the numbers [thereof].
- 71:16 I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD: I will make
- mention of thy righteousness, [even] of thine only.
- 71:17 O God, thou hast taught me from my youth: and hitherto
- have I declared thy wondrous works.
- 71:18 Now also when I am old and greyheaded, O God, forsake
- me not; until I have showed thy strength unto [this]
- generation, [and] thy power to every one [that] is to come.
- 71:19 Thy righteousness also, O God, [is] very high, who hast
- done great things: O God, who [is] like unto thee!
- 71:20 [Thou], which hast showed me great and sore troubles,
- shalt quicken me again, and shalt bring me up again from the
- depths of the earth.
- 71:21 Thou shalt increase my greatness, and comfort me on
- every side.
- 71:22 I will also praise thee with the psaltery, [even] thy
- truth, O my God: unto thee will I sing with the harp, O thou
- Holy One of Israel.
- 71:23 My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto thee;
- and my soul, which thou hast redeemed.
- 71:24 My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the
- day long: for they are confounded, for they are brought unto
- shame, that seek my hurt.
- 72:1 [A Psalm] for Solomon. Give the king thy judgments, O
- God, and thy righteousness unto the king's son.
- 72:2 He shall judge thy people with righteousness, and thy
- poor with judgment.
- 72:3 The mountains shall bring peace to the people, and the
- little hills, by righteousness.
- 72:4 He shall judge the poor of the people, he shall save the
- children of the needy, and shall break in pieces the oppressor.
- 72:5 They shall fear thee as long as the sun and moon endure,
- throughout all generations.
- 72:6 He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass: as
- showers [that] water the earth.
- 72:7 In his days shall the righteous flourish; and abundance
- of peace so long as the moon endureth.
- 72:8 He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from
- the river unto the ends of the earth.
- 72:9 They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him;
- and his enemies shall lick the dust.
- 72:10 The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring
- presents: the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.
- 72:11 Yea, all kings shall fall down before him: all nations
- shall serve him.
- 72:12 For he shall deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor
- also, and [him] that hath no helper.
- 72:13 He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall save the
- souls of the needy.
- 72:14 He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence:
- and precious shall their blood be in his sight.
- 72:15 And he shall live, and to him shall be given of the
- gold of Sheba: prayer also shall be made for him continually;
- [and] daily shall he be praised.
- 72:16 There shall be an handful of corn in the earth upon the
- top of the mountains; the fruit thereof shall shake like
- Lebanon: and [they] of the city shall flourish like grass of
- the earth.
- 72:17 His name shall endure for ever: his name shall be
- continued as long as the sun: and [men] shall be blessed in
- him: all nations shall call him blessed.
- 72:18 Blessed [be] the LORD God, the God of Israel, who only
- doeth wondrous things.
- 72:19 And blessed [be] his glorious name for ever: and let
- the whole earth be filled [with] his glory; Amen, and Amen.
- 72:20 The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.
- 73:1 A Psalm of Asaph. Truly God [is] good to Israel, [even]
- to such as are of a clean heart.
- 73:2 But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had
- well nigh slipped.
- 73:3 For I was envious at the foolish, [when] I saw the
- prosperity of the wicked.
- 73:4 For [there are] no bands in their death: but their
- strength [is] firm.
- 73:5 They [are] not in trouble [as other] men; neither are
- they plagued like [other] men.
- 73:6 Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain;
- violence covereth them [as] a garment.
- 73:7 Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than
- heart could wish.
- 73:8 They are corrupt, and speak wickedly [concerning]
- oppression: they speak loftily.
- 73:9 They set their mouth against the heavens, and their
- tongue walketh through the earth.
- 73:10 Therefore his people return hither: and waters of a
- full [cup] are wrung out to them.
- 73:11 And they say, How doth God know? and is there knowledge
- in the most High?
- 73:12 Behold, these [are] the ungodly, who prosper in the
- world; they increase [in] riches.
- 73:13 Verily I have cleansed my heart [in] vain, and washed
- my hands in innocency.
- 73:14 For all the day long have I been plagued, and chastened
- every morning.
- 73:15 If I say, I will speak thus; behold, I should offend
- [against] the generation of thy children.
- 73:16 When I thought to know this, it [was] too painful for
- me;
- 73:17 Until I went into the sanctuary of God; [then]
- understood I their end.
- 73:18 Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou
- castedst them down into destruction.
- 73:19 How are they [brought] into desolation, as in a moment!
- they are utterly consumed with terrors.
- 73:20 As a dream when [one] awaketh; [so], O Lord, when thou
- awakest, thou shalt despise their image.
- 73:21 Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my
- reins.
- 73:22 So foolish [was] I, and ignorant: I was [as] a beast
- before thee.
- 73:23 Nevertheless I [am] continually with thee: thou hast
- holden [me] by my right hand.
- 73:24 Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward
- receive me [to] glory.
- 73:25 Whom have I in heaven [but thee]? and [there is] none
- upon earth [that] I desire beside thee.
- 73:26 My flesh and my heart faileth: [but] God [is] the
- strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.
- 73:27 For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: thou
- hast destroyed all them that go a whoring from thee.
- 73:28 But [it is] good for me to draw near to God: I have put
- my trust in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all thy works.
- 74:1 Maschil of Asaph. O God, why hast thou cast [us] off for
- ever? [why] doth thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy
- pasture?
- 74:2 Remember thy congregation, [which] thou hast purchased
- of old; the rod of thine inheritance, [which] thou hast
- redeemed; this mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt.
- 74:3 Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual desolations; [even]
- all [that] the enemy hath done wickedly in the sanctuary.
- 74:4 Thine enemies roar in the midst of thy congregations;
- they set up their ensigns [for] signs.
- 74:5 [A man] was famous according as he had lifted up axes
- upon the thick trees.
- 74:6 But now they break down the carved work thereof at once
- with axes and hammers.
- 74:7 They have cast fire into thy sanctuary, they have
- defiled [by casting down] the dwelling place of thy name to the
- ground.
- 74:8 They said in their hearts, Let us destroy them together:
- they have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land.
- 74:9 We see not our signs: [there is] no more any prophet:
- neither [is there] among us any that knoweth how long.
- 74:10 O God, how long shall the adversary reproach? shall the
- enemy blaspheme thy name for ever?
- 74:11 Why withdrawest thou thy hand, even thy right hand?
- pluck [it] out of thy bosom.
- 74:12 For God [is] my King of old, working salvation in the
- midst of the earth.
- 74:13 Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength: thou brakest
- the heads of the dragons in the waters.
- 74:14 Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces, [and]
- gavest him [to be] meat to the people inhabiting the
- wilderness.
- 74:15 Thou didst cleave the fountain and the flood: thou
- driedst up mighty rivers.
- 74:16 The day [is] thine, the night also [is] thine: thou
- hast prepared the light and the sun.
- 74:17 Thou hast set all the borders of the earth: thou hast
- made summer and winter.
- 74:18 Remember this, [that] the enemy hath reproached, O
- LORD, and [that] the foolish people have blasphemed thy name.
- 74:19 O deliver not the soul of thy turtledove unto the
- multitude [of the wicked]: forget not the congregation of thy
- poor for ever.
- 74:20 Have respect unto the covenant: for the dark places of
- the earth are full of the habitations of cruelty.
- 74:21 O let not the oppressed return ashamed: let the poor
- and needy praise thy name.
- 74:22 Arise, O God, plead thine own cause: remember how the
- foolish man reproacheth thee daily.
- 74:23 Forget not the voice of thine enemies: the tumult of
- those that rise up against thee increaseth continually.
- 75:1 To the chief Musician, Altaschith, A Psalm [or] Song of
- Asaph. Unto thee, O God, do we give thanks, [unto thee] do we
- give thanks: for [that] thy name is near thy wondrous works
- declare.
- 75:2 When I shall receive the congregation I will judge
- uprightly.
- 75:3 The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved:
- I bear up the pillars of it. Selah.
- 75:4 I said unto the fools, Deal not foolishly: and to the
- wicked, Lift not up the horn:
- 75:5 Lift not up your horn on high: speak [not with] a stiff
- neck.
- 75:6 For promotion [cometh] neither from the east, nor from
- the west, nor from the south.
- 75:7 But God [is] the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth
- up another.
- 75:8 For in the hand of the LORD [there is] a cup, and the
- wine is red; it is full of mixture; and he poureth out of the
- same: but the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall
- wring [them] out, [and] drink [them].
- 75:9 But I will declare for ever; I will sing praises to the
- God of Jacob.
- 75:10 All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; [but]
- the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.
- 76:1 To the chief Musician on Neginoth, A Psalm [or] Song of
- Asaph. In Judah [is] God known: his name [is] great in Israel.
- 76:2 In Salem also is his tabernacle, and his dwelling place
- in Zion.
- 76:3 There brake he the arrows of the bow, the shield, and
- the sword, and the battle. Selah.
- 76:4 Thou [art] more glorious [and] excellent than the
- mountains of prey.
- 76:5 The stouthearted are spoiled, they have slept their
- sleep: and none of the men of might have found their hands.
- 76:6 At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, both the chariot and
- horse are cast into a dead sleep.
- 76:7 Thou, [even] thou, [art] to be feared: and who may stand
- in thy sight when once thou art angry?
- 76:8 Thou didst cause judgment to be heard from heaven; the
- earth feared, and was still,
- 76:9 When God arose to judgment, to save all the meek of the
- earth. Selah.
- 76:10 Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee: the
- remainder of wrath shalt thou restrain.
- 76:11 Vow, and pay unto the LORD your God: let all that be
- round about him bring presents unto him that ought to be
- feared.
- 76:12 He shall cut off the spirit of princes: [he is]
- terrible to the kings of the earth.
- 77:1 To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun, A Psalm of Asaph. I
- cried unto God with my voice, [even] unto God with my voice;
- and he gave ear unto me.
- 77:2 In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord: my sore ran
- in the night, and ceased not: my soul refused to be comforted.
- 77:3 I remembered God, and was troubled: I complained, and my
- spirit was overwhelmed. Selah.
- 77:4 Thou holdest mine eyes waking: I am so troubled that I
- cannot speak.
- 77:5 I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient
- times.
- 77:6 I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune
- with mine own heart: and my spirit made diligent search.
- 77:7 Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be
- favourable no more?
- 77:8 Is his mercy clean gone for ever? doth [his] promise
- fail for evermore?
- 77:9 Hath God forgotten to be gracious? hath he in anger shut
- up his tender mercies? Selah.
- 77:10 And I said, This [is] my infirmity: [but I will
- remember] the years of the right hand of the most High.
- 77:11 I will remember the works of the LORD: surely I will
- remember thy wonders of old.
- 77:12 I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of thy
- doings.
- 77:13 Thy way, O God, [is] in the sanctuary: who [is so]
- great a God as [our] God?
- 77:14 Thou [art] the God that doest wonders: thou hast
- declared thy strength among the people.
- 77:15 Thou hast with [thine] arm redeemed thy people, the
- sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.
- 77:16 The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee; they
- were afraid: the depths also were troubled.
- 77:17 The clouds poured out water: the skies sent out a
- sound: thine arrows also went abroad.
- 77:18 The voice of thy thunder [was] in the heaven: the
- lightnings lightened the world: the earth trembled and shook.
- 77:19 Thy way [is] in the sea, and thy path in the great
- waters, and thy footsteps are not known.
- 77:20 Thou leddest thy people like a flock by the hand of
- Moses and Aaron.
