a: 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 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 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 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 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 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.
78:1 Give ear, O my people, to my law: incline your ears to the words
of my mouth.
78:2 I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of
old:
78:3 Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us.
78:4 We will not hide them from their children, shewing to the
generation to come the praises of the LORD, and his strength, and his
wonderful works that he hath done.
78:5 For 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:
78:6 That the generation to come might know them, even the children
which should be born; who should arise and declare them to their
children:
78:7 That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works
of God, but keep his commandments:
78:8 And 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.
78:9 The children of Ephraim, being armed, and carrying bows, turned
back in the day of battle.
78:10 They kept not the covenant of God, and refused to walk in his
law;
78:11 And forgat his works, and his wonders that he had shewed them.
78:12 Marvellous things did he in the sight of their fathers, in the
land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.
78:13 He divided the sea, and caused them to pass through; and he made
the waters to stand as an heap.
78:14 In the daytime also he led them with a cloud, and all the night
with a light of fire.
78:15 He clave the rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink as out
of the great depths.
78:16 He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to
run down like rivers.
78:17 And they sinned yet more against him by provoking the most High
in the wilderness.
78:18 And they tempted God in their heart by asking meat for their
lust.
78:19 Yea, they spake against God; they said, Can God furnish a table
in the wilderness?
78:20 Behold, he smote the rock, that the waters gushed out, and the
streams overflowed; can he give bread also? can he provide flesh for
his people?
78:21 Therefore the LORD heard this, and was wroth: so a fire was
kindled against Jacob,
