Psalms 76
[1] In Judah is God known: his name is great in Israel. [2] In Salem also is
his tabernacle, and his dwelling place in Zion. [3] There brake he the arrows
of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the battle. Selah.
[4] Thou art more glorious and excellent than the mountains of prey. [5] The
stouthearted are spoiled, they have slept their sleep: and none of the men of
might have found their hands. [6] At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, both the
chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep.
[7] Thou, even thou, art to be feared: and who may stand in thy sight when
once thou art angry?
[8] Thou didst cause judgment to be heard from heaven; the earth feared, and
was still,
[9] When God arose to judgment, to save all the meek of the earth. Selah. [10]
Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee: the remainder of wrath shalt thou
restrain.
[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. [12] He shall cut off the
spirit of princes: he is terrible to the kings of the earth.
Psalms 77
[1] I cried unto God with my voice, even unto God with my voice; and he gave
ear unto me.
[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. [3] I remembered God, and was
troubled: I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. Selah.
[4] Thou holdest mine eyes waking: I am so troubled that I cannot speak. [5] I
have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times. [6] I call to
remembrance my song in the night: I commune with mine own heart: and my spirit
made diligent search. [7] Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be
favourable no more? [8] Is his mercy clean gone for ever? doth his promise
fail for evermore? [9] Hath God forgotten to be gracious? hath he in anger
shut up his tender mercies? Selah.
[10] And I said, This is my infirmity: but I will remember the years of the
right hand of the most High.
[11] I will remember the works of the LORD: surely I will remember thy wonders
of old.
[12] I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of thy doings. [13] Thy
way, O God, is in the sanctuary: who is so great a God as our God? [14] Thou
art the God that doest wonders: thou hast declared thy strength among the
people.
[15] Thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy people, the sons of Jacob and
Joseph. Selah.
[16] The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee; they were afraid: the
depths also were troubled.
[17] The clouds poured out water: the skies sent out a sound: thine arrows
also went abroad.
[18] The voice of thy thunder was in the heaven: the lightnings lightened the
world: the earth trembled and shook. [19] Thy way is in the sea, and thy path
in the great waters, and thy footsteps are not known.
[20] Thou leddest thy people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
Psalms 78
[1] Give ear, O my people, to my law: incline your ears to the words of my
mouth.
[2] I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old: [3]
Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us. [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.
[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:
[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: [7] That
they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep
his commandments:
[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.
[9] The children of Ephraim, being armed, and carrying bows, turned back in
the day of battle.
[10] They kept not the covenant of God, and refused to walk in his law; [11]
And forgat his works, and his wonders that he had shewed them. [12] Marvellous
things did he in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the
field of Zoan.
[13] He divided the sea, and caused them to pass through; and he made the
waters to stand as an heap.
[14] In the daytime also he led them with a cloud, and all the night with a
light of fire.
[15] He clave the rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink as out of the
great depths.
[16] He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down
like rivers.
[17] And they sinned yet more against him by provoking the most High in the
wilderness.
[18] And they tempted God in their heart by asking meat for their lust. [19]
Yea, they spake against God; they said, Can God furnish a table in the
wilderness?
[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? [21]
Therefore the LORD heard this, and was wroth: so a fire was kindled against
Jacob, and anger also came up against Israel; [22] Because they believed not
in God, and trusted not in his salvation: [23] Though he had commanded the
clouds from above, and opened the doors of heaven,
[24] And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them of the
corn of heaven.
[25] Man did eat angels' food: he sent them meat to the full. [26] He caused
an east wind to blow in the heaven: and by his power he brought in the south
wind.
[27] He rained flesh also upon them as dust, and feathered fowls like as the
sand of the sea:
[28] And he let it fall in the midst of their camp, round about their
habitations.
[29] So they did eat, and were well filled: for he gave them their own desire;
[30] They were not estranged from their lust. But while their meat was yet in
their mouths,
[31] The wrath of God came upon them, and slew the fattest of them, and smote
down the chosen men of Israel. [32] For all this they sinned still, and
believed not for his wondrous works.
[33] Therefore their days did he consume in vanity, and their years in trouble.
[34] When he slew them, then they sought him: and they returned and inquired
early after God.
[35] And they remembered that God was their rock, and the high God their
redeemer.
[36] Nevertheless they did flatter him with their mouth, and they lied unto
him with their tongues.
[37] For their heart was not right with him, neither were they stedfast in his
covenant.
[38] But he, being full of compassion, forgave their iniquity, and destroyed
them not: yea, many a time turned he his anger away, and did not stir up all
his wrath.
[39] For he remembered that they were but flesh; a wind that passeth away, and
cometh not again.
[40] How oft did they provoke him in the wilderness, and grieve him in the
desert!
[41] Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel.
[42] They remembered not his hand, nor the day when he delivered them from the
enemy.
[43] How he had wrought his signs in Egypt, and his wonders in the field of
Zoan:
[44] And had turned their rivers into blood; and their floods, that they could
not drink.
[45] He sent divers sorts of flies among them, which devoured them; and frogs,
which destroyed them.
[46] He gave also their increase unto the caterpiller, and their labour unto
the locust.
[47] He destroyed their vines with hail, and their sycomore trees with frost.
[48] He gave up their cattle also to the hail, and their flocks to hot
thunderbolts.
[49] He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, and indignation,
and trouble, by sending evil angels among them. [50] He made a way to his
anger; he spared not their soul from death, but gave their life over to the
pestilence; [51] And smote all the firstborn in Egypt; the chief of their
strength in the tabernacles of Ham:
[52] But made his own people to go forth like sheep, and guided them in the
wilderness like a flock.
[53] And he led them on safely, so that they feared not: but the sea
overwhelmed their enemies.
[54] And he brought them to the border of his sanctuary, even to this
mountain, which his right hand had purchased. [55] He cast out the heathen
also before them, and divided them an inheritance by line, and made the tribes
of Israel to dwell in their tents. [56] Yet they tempted and provoked the most
high God, and kept not his testimonies:
[57] But turned back, and dealt unfaithfully like their fathers: they were
turned aside like a deceitful bow.
[58] For they provoked him to anger with their high places, and moved him to
jealousy with their graven images.
[59] When God heard this, he was wroth, and greatly abhorred Israel: [60] So
that he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent which he placed among men;
[61] And delivered his strength into captivity, and his glory into the enemy's
hand.
[62] He gave his people over also unto the sword; and was wroth with his
inheritance.
[63] The fire consumed their young men; and their maidens were not given to
marriage.
[64] Their priests fell by the sword; and their widows made no lamentation.
[65] Then the Lord awaked as one out of sleep, and like a mighty man that
shouteth by reason of wine.
[66] And he smote his enemies in the hinder parts: he put them to a perpetual
reproach.
[67] Moreover he refused the tabernacle of Joseph, and chose not the tribe of
Ephraim:
[68] But chose the tribe of Judah, the mount Zion which he loved. [69] And he
built his sanctuary like high palaces, like the earth which he hath
established for ever.
[70] He chose David also his servant, and took him from the sheepfolds: [71]
From following the ewes great with young he brought him to feed Jacob his
people, and Israel his inheritance. [72] So he fed them according to the
integrity of his heart; and guided them by the skilfulness of his hands.
