Psalms 76

1In Judah is God known:
His name is great in Israel.

2In Salem also is his tabernacle,
And his dwelling-place in Zion.

3There he brake the arrows of the bow;
The shield, and the sword, and the battle.

Selah

4Glorious art thou [and] excellent,
From the mountains of prey.

5The stouthearted are made a spoil,
They have slept their sleep;
And none of the men of might have found their hands.

6At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob,
Both chariot and horse are cast into a deep sleep.

7Thou, even thou, art to be feared;
And who may stand in thy sight when once thou art angry?

8Thou didst cause sentence to be heard from heaven;
The earth feared, and was still,

9When God arose to judgment,
To save all the meek of the earth.

Selah

10Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee:
The residue of wrath shalt thou gird upon thee.

11Vow, and pay unto Jehovah your God:
Let all that are round about him bring presents unto him that
ought to be feared.

12He will cut off the spirit of princes:
He is terrible to the kings of the earth.

Psalms 77

1I will cry unto God with my voice,
Even unto God with my voice; and he will give ear unto me.

2In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord:
My hand was stretched out in the night, and slacked not;
My soul refused to be comforted.

3I remember God, and am disquieted:
I complain, and my spirit is overwhelmed.

Selah

4Thou holdest mine eyes watching:
I am so troubled that I cannot speak.

5I have considered the days of old,
The years of ancient times.

6I call to remembrance my song in the night:
I commune with mine own heart;
And my spirit maketh diligent search.

7Will the Lord cast off for ever?
And will he be favorable no more?

8Is his lovingkindness clean gone for ever?
Doth his promise fail for evermore?

9Hath God forgotten to be gracious?
Hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies?

Selah

10And I said, This is my infirmity;
[But I will remember] the years of the right hand of the Most
High.

11I will make mention of the deeds of Jehovah;
For I will remember thy wonders of old.

12I will meditate also upon all thy work,
And muse on thy doings.

13Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary:
Who is a great god like unto God?

14Thou art the God that doest wonders:
Thou hast made known thy strength among the peoples.

15Thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy people,
The sons of Jacob and Joseph.

Selah

16The waters saw thee, O God;
The waters saw thee, they were afraid:
The depths also trembled.

17The clouds poured out water;
The skies sent out a sound:
Thine arrows also went abroad.

18The voice of thy thunder was in the whirlwind;
The lightnings lightened the world:
The earth trembled and shook.

19Thy way was in the sea,
And thy paths in the great waters,
And thy footsteps were not known.

20Thou leddest thy people like a flock,
By the hand of Moses and Aaron.

Psalms 78

1Give ear, O my people, to my law:
Incline your ears to the words of my mouth.

2I will open my mouth in a parable;
I will utter dark sayings of old,

3Which we have heard and known,
And our fathers have told us.

4We will not hide them from their children,
Telling to the generation to come the praises of Jehovah,
And his strength, and his wondrous works that he hath done.

5For he established a testimony in Jacob,
And appointed a law in Israel,
Which he commanded our fathers,
That they should make them known to their children;

6That the generation to come might know [them], even the
children that should be born;
Who should arise and tell [them] to their children,

7That they might set their hope in God,
And not forget the works of God,
But keep his commandments,

8And might not be as their fathers,
A stubborn and rebellious generation,
A generation that set not their heart aright,
And whose spirit was not stedfast with God.

9The children of Ephraim, being armed and carrying bows,
Turned back in the day of battle.

10They kept not the covenant of God,
And refused to walk in his law;

11And they forgat his doings,
And his wondrous works that he had showed them.

12Marvellous things did he in the sight of their fathers,
In the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.

13He clave the sea, and caused them to pass through;
And he made the waters to stand as a heap.

14In the day-time also he led them with a cloud,
And all the night with a light of fire.

15He clave rocks in the wilderness,
And gave them drink abundantly as out of the depths.

16He brought streams also out of the rock,
And caused waters to run down like rivers.

17Yet went they on still to sin against him,
To rebel against the Most High in the desert.

18And they tempted God in their heart
By asking food according to their desire.

19Yea, they spake against God;
They said, Can God prepare a table in the wilderness?

20Behold, he smote the rock, so that waters gushed out,
And streams overflowed;
Can he give bread also?
Will he provide flesh for his people?

21Therefore Jehovah heard, and was wroth;
And a fire was kindled against Jacob,
And anger also went up against Israel;

22Because they believed not in God,
And trusted not in his salvation.

23Yet he commanded the skies above,
And opened the doors of heaven;

24And he rained down manna upon them to eat,
And gave them food from heaven.

25Man did eat the bread of the mighty:
He sent them food to the full.

26He caused the east wind to blow in the heavens;
And by his power he guided the south wind.

27He rained flesh also upon them as the dust,
And winged birds as the sand of the seas:

28And he let it fall in the midst of their camp,
Round about their habitations.

29So they did eat, and were well filled;
And he gave them their own desire.

30They were not estranged from that which they desired,
Their food was yet in their mouths,

31When the anger of God went up against them,
And slew of the fattest of them,
And smote down the young men of Israel.

32For all this they sinned still,
And believed not in his wondrous works.

33Therefore their days did he consume in vanity,
And their years in terror.

34When he slew them, then they inquired after him;
And they returned and sought God earnestly.

35And they remembered that God was their rock,
And the Most High God their redeemer.

36But they flattered him with their mouth,
And lied unto him with their tongue.

37For their heart was not right with him,
Neither were they faithful in his covenant.

38But he, being merciful, forgave [their] iniquity, and
destroyed [them] not:
Yea, many a time turned he his anger away,
And did not stir up all his wrath.

39And he remembered that they were but flesh,
A wind that passeth away, and cometh not again.

40How oft did they rebel against him in the wilderness,
And grieve him in the desert!

41And they turned again and tempted God,
And provoked the Holy One of Israel.

42They remember not his hand,
Nor the day when he redeemed them from the adversary;

43How he set his signs in Egypt,
And his wonders in the field of Zoan,

44And turned their rivers into blood,
And their streams, so that they could not drink.

45He sent among them swarms of flies, which devoured them;
And frogs, which destroyed them.

46He gave also their increase unto the caterpillar,
And their labor unto the locust.

47He destroyed their vines with hail,
And their sycomore-trees with frost.

48He gave over their cattle also to the hail,
And their flocks to hot thunderbolts.

49He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger,
Wrath, and indignation, and trouble,
A band of angels of evil.

50He made a path for his anger;
He spared not their soul from death,
But gave their life over to the pestilence,

51And smote all the first-born in Egypt,
The chief of their strength in the tents of Ham.

52But he led forth his own people like sheep,
And guided them in the wilderness like a flock.

53And he led them safely, so that they feared not;
But the sea overwhelmed their enemies.

54And he brought them to the border of his sanctuary,
To this mountain, which his right hand had gotten.

55He drove out the nations also before them,
And allotted them for an inheritance by line,
And made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents.

56Yet they tempted and rebelled against the Most High God,
And kept not his testimonies;

57But turned back, and dealt treacherously like their
fathers:
They were turned aside like a deceitful bow.

58For they provoked him to anger with their high places,
And moved him to jealousy with their graven images.

59When God heard [this], he was wroth,
And greatly abhorred Israel;

60So that he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh,
The tent which he placed among men;

61And delivered his strength into captivity,
And his glory into the adversary’s hand.

62He gave his people over also unto the sword,
And was wroth with his inheritance.

63Fire devoured their young men;
And their virgins had no marriage-song.

64Their priests fell by the sword;
And their widows made no lamentation.

65Then the Lord awaked as one out of sleep,
Like a mighty man that shouteth by reason of wine.

66And he smote his adversaries backward:
He put them to a perpetual reproach.

67Moreover he refused the tent of Joseph,
And chose not the tribe of Ephraim,

68But chose the tribe of Judah,
The mount Zion which he loved.

69And he built his sanctuary like the heights,
Like the earth which he hath established for ever.

70He chose David also his servant,
And took him from the sheepfolds:

71From following the ewes that have their young he brought
him,
To be the shepherd of Jacob his people, and Israel his
inheritance.

72So he was their shepherd according to the integrity of
his heart,
And guided them by the skilfulness of his hands.

Psalms 79

1O God, the nations are come into thine inheritance;
Thy holy temple have they defiled;
They have laid Jerusalem in heaps.

2The dead bodies of thy servants have they given to be
food unto the birds of the heavens,
The flesh of thy saints unto the beasts of the earth.

3Their blood have they shed like water round about
Jerusalem;
And there was none to bury them.

4We are become a reproach to our neighbors,
A scoffing and derision to them that are round about us.

5How long, O Jehovah? wilt thou be angry for ever?
Shall thy jealousy burn like fire?

6Pour out thy wrath upon the nations that know thee not,
And upon the kingdoms that call not upon thy name.

7For they have devoured Jacob,
And laid waste his habitation.

8Remember not against us the iniquities of our forefathers:
Let thy tender mercies speedily meet us;
For we are brought very low.

9Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of thy
name;
And deliver us, and forgive our sins, for thy name’s sake.

10Wherefore should the nations say, Where is their God?
Let the avenging of the blood of thy servants which is shed
Be known among the nations in our sight.

11Let the sighing of the prisoner come before thee:
According to the greatness of thy power preserve thou those that
are appointed to death;

12And render unto our neighbors sevenfold into their bosom
Their reproach, wherewith they have reproached thee, O Lord.

13So we thy people and sheep of thy pasture
Will give thee thanks for ever:
We will show forth thy praise to all generations.

Psalms 80

1Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel,
Thou that leadest Joseph like a flock;
Thou that sittest [above] the cherubim, shine forth.

2Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh, stir up thy
might,
And come to save us.

3Turn us again, O God;
And cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved.

4O Jehovah God of hosts,
How long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy people?

5Thou hast fed them with the bread of tears,
And given them tears to drink in large measure.

6Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbors;
And our enemies laugh among themselves.

7Turn us again, O God of hosts;
And cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved.

8Thou broughtest a vine out of Egypt:
Thou didst drive out the nations, and plantedst it.

9Thou preparedst [room] before it,
And it took deep root, and filled the land.

10The mountains were covered with the shadow of it,
And the boughs thereof were [like] cedars of God.

11It sent out its branches unto the sea,
And its shoots unto the River.

12Why hast thou broken down its walls,
So that all they that pass by the way do pluck it?

13The boar out of the wood doth ravage it,
And the wild beasts of the field feed on it.

14Turn again, we beseech thee, O God of hosts:
Look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine,

15And the stock which thy right hand planted,
And the branch that thou madest strong for thyself.

16It is burned with fire, it is cut down:
They perish at the rebuke of thy countenance.

17Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand,
Upon the son of man whom thou madest strong for thyself.

18So shall we not go back from thee:
Quicken thou us, and we will call upon thy name.

19Turn us again, O Jehovah God of hosts;
Cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved.
