Psalms: 74

74:21O let not the oppressed return ashamed: let the poor and needy praise thy name.

74:22Arise, O God, plead thine own cause: remember how the foolish man reproacheth thee daily.

74:23Forget 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.

75:2When I shall receive the congregation I will judge uprightly.

75:3The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I bear up the pillars of it. Selah.

75:4I said unto the fools, Deal not foolishly: and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:

75:5Lift not up your horn on high: speak not with a stiff neck.

75:6For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south.

75:7But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another.

75:8For 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.

75:9But I will declare for ever; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

75:10All 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.

76:2In Salem also is his tabernacle, and his dwelling place in Zion.

76:3There brake he the arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the battle. Selah.

76:4Thou art more glorious and excellent than the mountains of prey.

76:5The stouthearted are spoiled, they have slept their sleep: and none of the men of might have found their hands.

76:6At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, both the chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep.

76:7Thou, even thou, art to be feared: and who may stand in thy sight when once thou art angry?

76:8Thou didst cause judgment to be heard from heaven; the earth feared, and was still,

76:9When God arose to judgment, to save all the meek of the earth. Selah.

76:10Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee: the remainder of wrath shalt thou restrain.

76:11Vow, and pay unto the LORD your God: let all that be round about him bring presents unto him that ought to be feared.

76:12He 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.

77:2In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord: my sore ran in the night, and ceased not: my soul refused to be comforted.

77:3I remembered God, and was troubled: I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. Selah.

77:4Thou holdest mine eyes waking: I am so troubled that I cannot speak.

77:5I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times.

77:6I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with mine own heart: and my spirit made diligent search.

77:7Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be favourable no more?

77:8Is his mercy clean gone for ever? doth his promise fail for evermore?

77:9Hath God forgotten to be gracious? hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? Selah.

77:10And I said, This is my infirmity: but I will remember the years of the right hand of the most High.

77:11I will remember the works of the LORD: surely I will remember thy wonders of old.

77:12I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of thy doings.

77:13Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: who is so great a God as our God?

77:14Thou art the God that doest wonders: thou hast declared thy strength among the people.

77:15Thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.

77:16The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee; they were afraid: the depths also were troubled.

77:17The clouds poured out water: the skies sent out a sound: thine arrows also went abroad.

77:18The voice of thy thunder was in the heaven: the lightnings lightened the world: the earth trembled and shook.

77:19Thy way is in the sea, and thy path in the great waters, and thy footsteps are not known.

77:20Thou leddest thy people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.

78:3Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us.

78:4We 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.
