Bible-Reading.comPsalm 75
1To the chief music-maker; put to Al-tashheth. A Psalm. Of Asaph. A Song. To you, O God, we give praise, to you we give praise: and those who give honour to your name make clear your works of power.
2When the right time has come, I will be the judge in righteousness.
3When the earth and all its people become feeble, I am the support of its pillars. (Selah.)
4I say to the men of pride, Let your pride be gone: and to the sinners, Let not your horn be lifted up.
5Let not your horn be lifted up: let no more words of pride come from your outstretched necks.
6For honour does not come from the east, or from the west, or uplifting from the south;
7But God is the judge, putting down one, and lifting up another.
8For in the hand of the Lord is a cup, and the wine is red; it is well mixed, overflowing from his hand: he will make all the sinners of the earth take of it, even to the last drop.
9But I will ever be full of joy, making songs of praise to the God of Jacob.
10By him will all the horns of the sinners be cut off; but the horns of the upright will be lifted up.
Psalm 76
1To the chief music-maker; put to Neginoth. A Psalm. Of Asaph. A Song. In Judah is the knowledge of God; his name is great in Israel,
2In Salem is his tent, his resting-place in Zion.
3There were the arrows of the bow broken, there he put an end to body-cover, sword, and fight. (Selah.)
4You are shining and full of glory, more than the eternal mountains.
5Gone is the wealth of the strong, their last sleep has overcome them; the men of war have become feeble.
6At the voice of your wrath, O God of Jacob, deep sleep has overcome carriage and horse.
7You, you are to be feared; who may keep his place before you in the time of your wrath?
8From heaven you gave your decision; the earth, in its fear, gave no sound,
9When God took his place as judge, for the salvation of the poor on the earth. (Selah.)
10The ... will give you praise; the rest of ...
11Give to the Lord your God what is his by right; let all who are round him give offerings to him who is to be feared.
12He puts an end to the wrath of rulers; he is feared by the kings of the earth.
Psalm 77
1To the chief music-maker. After Jeduthun. Of Asaph. A Psalm. I was crying to God with my voice; even to God with my voice, and he gave ear to me.
2In the day of my trouble, my heart was turned to the Lord: my hand was stretched out in the night without resting; my soul would not be comforted.
3I will keep God in memory, with sounds of grief; my thoughts are troubled, and my spirit is overcome. (Selah.)
4You keep my eyes from sleep; I am so troubled that no words come.
5My thoughts go back to the days of the past, to the years which are gone.
6The memory of my song comes back to me in the night; my thoughts are moving in my heart; my spirit is searching with care.
7Will the Lord put me away for ever? will he be kind no longer?
8Is his mercy quite gone for ever? has his word come to nothing?
9Has God put away the memory of his pity? are his mercies shut up by his wrath? (Selah.)
10And I said, It is a weight on my spirit; but I will keep in mind the years of the right hand of the Most High.
11I will keep in mind the works of Jah: I will keep the memory of your wonders in the past.
12I will give thought to all your work, while my mind goes over your acts of power.
13Your way, O God, is holy: what god is so great as our God?
14You are the God who does works of power: you have made your strength clear to the nations.
15With your arm you have made your people free, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. (Selah.)
16The waters saw you, O God; the waters saw you, they were in fear: even the deep was troubled.
17The clouds sent out water; the skies gave out a sound; truly, your arrows went far and wide.
18The voice of your thunder went rolling on; the world was flaming with the light of the storm; the earth was shaking.
19Your way was in the sea, and your road in the great waters; there was no knowledge of your footsteps.
20You were guiding your people like a flock, by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
