Psalms 75

1We give thanks to You, God, we give thanks, For Your name is near; People declare Your wondrous works.

2“When I select an appointed time, It is I who judge fairly.

3The earth and all who inhabit it are unsteady; It is I who have firmly set its pillars. Selah

4I said to the boastful, ‘Do not boast,’ And to the wicked, ‘Do not lift up the horn;

5Do not lift up your horn on high, Do not speak with insolent pride.’ ”

6For not from the east, nor from the west, Nor from the desert comes exaltation;

7But God is the Judge; He puts down one and exalts another.

8For a cup is in the hand of the LORD, and the wine foams; It is well mixed, and He pours out of this; Certainly all the wicked of the earth must drain and drink its dregs.

9But as for me, I will declare it forever; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

10And He will cut off all the horns of the wicked, But the horns of the righteous will be lifted up.

Psalms 76

1God is known in Judah; His name is great in Israel.

2His tabernacle is in Salem; His dwelling place also is in Zion.

3There He broke the flaming arrows, The shield, the sword, and the weapons of war. Selah

4You are resplendent, More majestic than the mountains of prey.

5The stouthearted were plundered, They sank into sleep; And none of the warriors could use his hands.

6At Your rebuke, God of Jacob, Both rider and horse were cast into a dead sleep.

7You, You indeed are to be feared, And who may stand in Your presence, once You are angry?

8You caused judgment to be heard from heaven; The earth feared and was still

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

10For the wrath of mankind shall praise You; You will encircle Yourself with a remnant of wrath.

11Make vows to the LORD your God and fulfill them; All who are around Him are to bring gifts to Him who is to be feared.

12He will cut off the spirit of princes; He is feared by the kings of the earth.

Psalms 77

1My voice rises to God, and I will cry aloud; My voice rises to God, and He will listen to me.

2In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord; In the night my hand was stretched out and did not grow weary; My soul refused to be comforted.

3When I remember God, then I am restless; When I sigh, then my spirit feels weak. Selah

4You have held my eyelids open; I am so troubled that I cannot speak.

5I have considered the days of old, The years of long ago.

6I will remember my song in the night; I will meditate with my heart, And my spirit ponders:

7Will the Lord reject forever? And will He never be favorable again?

8Has His favor ceased forever? Has His promise come to an end forever?

9Has God forgotten to be gracious, Or has He in anger withdrawn His compassion? Selah

10Then I said, “It is my grief, That the right hand of the Most High has changed.”

11I shall remember the deeds of the LORD; I will certainly remember Your wonders of old.

12I will meditate on all Your work, And on Your deeds with thanksgiving.

13Your way, God, is holy; What god is great like our God?

14You are the God who works wonders; You have made known Your strength among the peoples.

15By Your power You have redeemed Your people, The sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah

16The waters saw You, God; The waters saw You, they were in anguish; The ocean depths also trembled.

17The clouds poured out water; The skies sounded out; Your arrows flashed here and there.

18The sound of Your thunder was in the whirlwind; The lightning lit up the world; The earth trembled and shook.

19Your way was in the sea And Your paths in the mighty waters, And Your footprints were not known.

20You led Your people like a flock By the hand of Moses and Aaron.

Psalms 78

1Listen, my people, to my instruction; Incline your ears to the words of my mouth.

2I will open my mouth in a parable; I will tell riddles of old,

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

4We will not conceal them from their children, But we will tell the generation to come the praises of the LORD, And His power and His wondrous works that He has done.

5For He established a testimony in Jacob, And appointed a law in Israel, Which He commanded our fathers That they were to teach them to their children,

6So that the generation to come would know, the children yet to be born, That they would arise and tell them to their children,

7So that they would put their confidence in God And not forget the works of God, But comply with His commandments,

8And not be like their fathers, A stubborn and rebellious generation, A generation that did not prepare its heart And whose spirit was not faithful to God.

9The sons of Ephraim were archers equipped with bows, Yet they turned back on the day of battle.

10They did not keep the covenant of God And refused to walk in His Law;

11They forgot His deeds And His miracles that He had shown them.

12He performed wonders before their fathers In the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.

13He divided the sea and caused them to pass through, And He made the waters stand up like a heap.

14Then He led them with the cloud by day And all the night with a light of fire.

15He split the rocks in the wilderness And gave them plenty to drink like the ocean depths.

16He brought forth streams from the rock And made waters run down like rivers.

17Yet they still continued to sin against Him, To rebel against the Most High in the desert.

18And in their heart they put God to the test By asking for food that suited their taste.

19Then they spoke against God; They said, “Can God prepare a table in the wilderness?

20Behold, He struck the rock so that waters gushed out, And streams were overflowing; Can He also provide bread? Will He prepare meat for His people?”

21Therefore the LORD heard and was full of wrath; And a fire was kindled against Jacob, And anger also mounted against Israel,

22Because they did not believe in God And did not trust in His salvation.

23Yet He commanded the clouds above And opened the doors of heaven;

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

25Man ate the bread of angels; He sent them food in abundance.

26He made the east wind blow in the sky And by His power He directed the south wind.

27When He rained meat upon them like the dust, Even winged fowl like the sand of the seas,

28He let them fall in the midst of their camp, All around their dwellings.

29So they ate and were well filled, And He satisfied their longing.

30Yet before they had abandoned their longing, While their food was in their mouths,

31The anger of God rose against them And killed some of their strongest ones, And subdued the choice men of Israel.

32In spite of all this they still sinned And did not believe in His wonderful works.

33So He brought their days to an end in futility, And their years to an end in sudden terror.

34When He killed them, then they sought Him, And they returned and searched diligently for God;

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

36But they flattered Him with their mouth And lied to Him with their tongue.

37For their heart was not steadfast toward Him, Nor were they faithful with His covenant.

38But He, being compassionate, forgave their wrongdoing and did not destroy them; And often He restrained His anger And did not stir up all His wrath.

39So He remembered that they were only flesh, A wind that passes and does not return.

40How often they rebelled against Him in the wilderness And grieved Him in the desert!

41Again and again they tempted God, And pained the Holy One of Israel.

42They did not remember His power, The day when He redeemed them from the enemy,

43When He performed His signs in Egypt And His marvels in the field of Zoan,

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

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

46He also gave their crops to the grasshopper And the product of their labor to the locust.

47He destroyed their vines with hailstones And their sycamore trees with frost.

48He also turned their cattle over to the hailstones, And their herds to bolts of lightning.

49He sent His burning anger upon them, Fury and indignation and trouble, A band of destroying angels.

50He leveled a path for His anger; He did not spare their souls from death, But turned their lives over to the plague,

51And struck all the firstborn in Egypt, The first and best of their vigor in the tents of Ham.

52But He led His own people out like sheep, And guided them in the wilderness like a flock;

53He led them safely, so that they did not fear; But the sea engulfed their enemies.

54So He brought them to His holy land, To this hill country which His right hand had gained.

55He also drove out the nations from them And apportioned them as an inheritance by measurement, And had the tribes of Israel dwell in their tents.

56Yet they tempted and rebelled against the Most High God And did not keep His testimonies,

57But turned back and acted treacherously like their fathers; They turned aside like a treacherous bow.

58For they provoked Him with their high places And moved Him to jealousy with their carved images.

59When God heard them, He was filled with wrath And He utterly rejected Israel;

60So that He abandoned the dwelling place at Shiloh, The tent which He had pitched among people,

61And He gave up His strength to captivity And His glory into the hand of the enemy.

62He also turned His people over to the sword, And was filled with wrath at His inheritance.

63Fire devoured His young men, And His virgins had no wedding songs.

64His priests fell by the sword, And His widows could not weep.

65Then the Lord awoke as if from sleep, Like a warrior overcome by wine.

66He drove His adversaries backward; He put on them an everlasting disgrace.

67He also rejected the tent of Joseph, And did not choose the tribe of Ephraim,

68But chose the tribe of Judah, Mount Zion, which He loved.

69And He built His sanctuary like the heights, Like the earth which He has established forever.

70He also chose His servant David And took him from the sheepfolds;

71From the care of the ewes with nursing lambs He brought him To shepherd Jacob His people, And Israel His inheritance.

72So he shepherded them according to the integrity of his heart, And guided them with his skillful hands.

Psalms 79

1God, the nations have invaded Your inheritance; They have defiled Your holy temple; They have laid Jerusalem in ruins.

2They have given the dead bodies of Your servants to the birds of the sky as food, The flesh of Your godly ones to the animals of the earth.

3They have poured out their blood like water all around Jerusalem; And there was no one to bury them.

4We have become a disgrace before our neighbors, An object of derision and ridicule to those around us.

5How long, LORD? Will You be angry forever? Will Your jealousy burn like fire?

6Pour out Your wrath upon the nations which do not know You, And upon the kingdoms which do not call upon Your name.

7For they have devoured Jacob And laid waste his settlement.

8Do not hold us responsible for the guilty deeds of our forefathers; Let Your compassion come quickly to meet us, For we have become very low.

9Help us, God of our salvation, for the glory of Your name; And save us and forgive our sins for the sake of Your name.

10Why should the nations say, “Where is their God?” Let vengeance for the blood of Your servants which has been shed Be known among the nations in our sight.

11Let the groaning of the prisoner come before You; According to the greatness of Your power, let those who are doomed to die remain.

12And return to our neighbors seven times as much into their lap Their taunts with which they have taunted You, Lord.

13So we Your people and the sheep of Your pasture Will give thanks to You forever; To all generations we will tell of Your praise.

Psalms 80

1Listen, Shepherd of Israel, Who leads Joseph like a flock; You who are enthroned above the cherubim, shine forth!

2Before Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh, awaken Your power, And come to save us!

3God, restore us And make Your face shine upon us, and we will be saved.

4LORD God of armies, How long will You be angry with the prayer of Your people?

5You have fed them with the bread of tears, And You have made them drink tears in large measure.

6You make us an object of contention to our neighbors, And our enemies laugh among themselves.

7God of armies, restore us And make Your face shine upon us, and we will be saved.

8You removed a vine from Egypt; You drove out the nations and planted it.

9You cleared the ground before it, And it took deep root and filled the land.

10The mountains were covered with its shadow, And the cedars of God with its branches.

11It was sending out its branches to the sea And its shoots to the Euphrates River.

12Why have You broken down its hedges, So that all who pass that way pick its fruit?

13A boar from the forest eats it away, And whatever moves in the field feeds on it.

14God of armies, do turn back; Look down from heaven and see, and take care of this vine,

15The shoot which Your right hand has planted, And of the son whom You have strengthened for Yourself.

16It is burned with fire, it is cut down; They perish from the rebuke of Your face.

17Let Your hand be upon the man of Your right hand, Upon the son of man whom You made strong for Yourself.

18Then we will not turn back from You; Revive us, and we will call upon Your name.

19LORD God of armies, restore us; Make Your face shine upon us, and we will be saved.

Psalms 81

1Sing for joy to God our strength; Shout joyfully to the God of Jacob.

2Raise a song, strike the tambourine, The sweet sounding lyre with the harp.

3Blow the trumpet at the new moon, At the full moon, on our feast day.

4For it is a statute for Israel, An ordinance of the God of Jacob.

5He established it as a testimony in Joseph When he went throughout the land of Egypt. I heard a language I did not know:

6“I relieved his shoulder of the burden, His hands were freed from the basket.

7You called in trouble and I rescued you; I answered you in the hiding place of thunder; I put you to the test at the waters of Meribah. Selah

8Hear, My people, and I will admonish you; Israel, if you would listen to Me!

9There shall be no strange god among you; Nor shall you worship a foreign god.

10I, the LORD, am your God, Who brought you up from the land of Egypt; Open your mouth wide and I will fill it.

11“But My people did not listen to My voice, And Israel did not obey Me.

12So I gave them over to the stubbornness of their heart, To walk by their own plans.

13Oh that My people would listen to Me, That Israel would walk in My ways!

14I would quickly subdue their enemies And turn My hand against their adversaries.

15Those who hate the LORD would pretend to obey Him, And their time of punishment would be forever.

16But I would feed you with the finest of the wheat, And with honey from the rock I would satisfy you.”

Psalms 82

1God takes His position in His assembly; He judges in the midst of the gods.

2How long will you judge unjustly And show partiality to the wicked? Selah

3Vindicate the weak and fatherless; Do justice to the afflicted and destitute.

4Rescue the weak and needy; Save them from the hand of the wicked.

5They do not know nor do they understand; They walk around in darkness; All the foundations of the earth are shaken.

6I said, “You are gods, And all of you are sons of the Most High.

7Nevertheless you will die like men, And fall like one of the princes.”

8Arise, God, judge the earth! For You possess all the nations.

Psalms 83

1God, do not remain quiet; Do not be silent and, God, do not be still.

2For behold, Your enemies make an uproar, And those who hate You have exalted themselves.

3They make shrewd plans against Your people, And conspire together against Your treasured ones.

4They have said, “Come, and let’s wipe them out as a nation, So that the name of Israel will no longer be remembered.”

5For they have conspired together with one mind; They make a covenant against You:

6The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, Moab and the Hagrites;

7Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek, Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;

8Assyria also has joined them; They have become a help to the children of Lot. Selah

9Deal with them as with Midian, As with Sisera and Jabin at the river of Kishon,

10Who were destroyed at En-dor, Who became like dung for the ground.

11Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, And all their leaders like Zebah and Zalmunna,

12Who said, “Let’s possess for ourselves The pastures of God.”

13My God, make them like the whirling dust, Like chaff before the wind.

14Like fire that burns the forest, And like a flame that sets the mountains on fire,

15So pursue them with Your heavy gale, And terrify them with Your storm.

16Fill their faces with dishonor, So that they will seek Your name, LORD.

17May they be ashamed and dismayed forever, And may they be humiliated and perish,

18So that they will know that You alone, whose name is the LORD, Are the Most High over all the earth.

Psalms 84

1How lovely are Your dwelling places, LORD of armies!

2My soul longed and even yearned for the courtyards of the LORD; My heart and my flesh sing for joy to the living God.

3The bird also has found a house, And the swallow a nest for herself, where she may put her young: Your altars, LORD of armies, My King and my God.

4Blessed are those who dwell in Your house! They are ever praising You. Selah

5Blessed is the person whose strength is in You, In whose heart are the roads to Zion!

6Passing through the Valley of Baca they make it a spring; The early rain also covers it with blessings.

7They go from strength to strength, Every one of them appears before God in Zion.

8LORD God of armies, hear my prayer; Listen, God of Jacob! Selah

9See our shield, God, And look at the face of Your anointed.

10For a day in Your courtyards is better than a thousand elsewhere. I would rather stand at the threshold of the house of my God Than live in the tents of wickedness.

11For the LORD God is a sun and shield; The LORD gives grace and glory; He withholds no good thing from those who walk with integrity.

12LORD of armies, Blessed is the person who trusts in You!

Psalms 85

1LORD, You showed favor to Your land; You restored the fortunes of Jacob.

2You forgave the guilt of Your people; You covered all their sin. Selah

3You withdrew all Your fury; You turned away from Your burning anger.

4Restore us, God of our salvation, And cause Your indignation toward us to cease.

5Will You be angry with us forever? Will You prolong Your anger to all generations?

6Will You not revive us again, So that Your people may rejoice in You?

7Show us Your mercy, LORD, And grant us Your salvation.

8I will hear what God the LORD will say; For He will speak peace to His people, to His godly ones; And may they not turn back to foolishness.

9Certainly His salvation is near to those who fear Him, That glory may dwell in our land.

10Graciousness and truth have met together; Righteousness and peace have kissed each other.

11Truth sprouts from the earth, And righteousness looks down from heaven.

12Indeed, the LORD will give what is good, And our land will yield its produce.

13Righteousness will go before Him And will make His footsteps into a way.

Psalms 86

1Incline Your ear, LORD, and answer me; For I am afflicted and needy.

2Protect my soul, for I am godly; You my God, save Your servant who trusts in You.

3Be gracious to me, Lord, For I call upon You all day long.

4Make the soul of Your servant joyful, For to You, Lord, I lift up my soul.

5For You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive, And abundant in mercy to all who call upon You.

6Listen, LORD, to my prayer; And give Your attention to the sound of my pleading!

7On the day of my trouble I will call upon You, For You will answer me.

8There is no one like You among the gods, Lord, Nor are there any works like Yours.

9All nations whom You have made will come and worship before You, Lord, And they will glorify Your name.

10For You are great, and you do wondrous deeds; You alone are God.

11Teach me Your way, LORD; I will walk in Your truth; Unite my heart to fear Your name.

12I will give thanks to You, Lord my God, with all my heart, And I will glorify Your name forever.

13For Your graciousness toward me is great, And You have saved my soul from the depths of Sheol.

14God, arrogant men have risen up against me, And a gang of violent men have sought my life, And they have not set You before them.

15But You, Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God, Slow to anger and abundant in mercy and truth.

16Turn to me, and be gracious to me; Grant Your strength to Your servant, And save the son of Your maidservant.

17Show me a sign of good, That those who hate me may see it and be ashamed, Because You, LORD, have helped me and comforted me.

Psalms 87

1His foundation is in the holy mountains.

2The LORD loves the gates of Zion More than all the other dwelling places of Jacob.

3Glorious things are spoken of you, City of God. Selah

4“I shall mention Rahab and Babylon among those who know Me; Behold, Philistia and Tyre with Cush: ‘This one was born there.’ ”

5But of Zion it will be said, “This one and that one were born in her”; And the Most High Himself will establish her.

6The LORD will count when He registers the peoples, “This one was born there.” Selah

7Then those who sing as well as those who play the flutes will say, “All my springs of joy are in you.”
