Psalms 72

1

{For Solomon.} O God, give the king thy judgments, and thy righteousness unto the king's son.

2

He will judge thy people with righteousness, and thine afflicted with judgment.

3

The mountains shall bring peace to the people, and the hills, by righteousness.

4

He will do justice to the afflicted of the people; he will save the children of the needy, and will break in pieces the oppressor.

5

They shall fear thee as long as sun and moon endure, from generation to generation.

6

He shall come down like rain on the mown grass, as showers that water the earth.

7

In his days shall the righteous flourish, and abundance of peace till the moon be no more.

8

And he shall have dominion from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth.

9

The dwellers in the desert shall bow before him, and his enemies shall lick the dust.

10

The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall render presents; the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer tribute:

11

Yea, all kings shall bow down before him; all nations shall serve him.

12

For he will deliver the needy who crieth, and the afflicted, who hath no helper;

13

He will have compassion on the poor and needy, and will save the souls of the needy:

14

He will redeem their souls from oppression and violence, and precious shall their blood be in his sight.

15

And he shall live; and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba; and prayer shall be made for him continually: all the day shall he be blessed.

16

There shall be abundance of corn in the earth, upon the top of the mountains; the fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon; and they of the city shall bloom like the herb of the earth.

17

His name shall endure for ever; his name shall be continued as long as the sun: and [men] shall bless themselves in him; all nations shall call him blessed.

18

Blessed be Jehovah Elohim, the God of Israel, who alone doeth wondrous things!

19

And blessed be his glorious name for ever! and let the whole earth be filled with his glory! Amen, and Amen.

20

The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.

Psalms 73

1

{A Psalm of Asaph.} Truly God is good to Israel, to such as are of a pure heart.

2

But as for me, my feet were almost gone, my steps had well nigh slipped;

3

For I was envious at the arrogant, seeing the prosperity of the wicked.

4

For they have no pangs in their death, and their body is well nourished;

5

They have not the hardships of mankind, neither are they plagued like [other] men:

6

Therefore pride encompasseth them as a neck-chain, violence covereth them [as] a garment;

7

Their eyes stand out from fatness, they exceed the imaginations of their heart:

8

They mock and speak wickedly of oppression, they speak loftily:

9

They set their mouth in the heavens, and their tongue walketh through the earth.

10

Therefore his people turn hither, and waters in fulness are wrung out to them.

11

And they say, How can łGod know, and is there knowledge in the Most High?

12

Behold, these are the wicked, and they prosper in the world: they heap up riches.

13

Truly have I purified my heart in vain, and washed my hands in innocency:

14

For all the day have I been plagued, and chastened every morning.

15

If I said, I will speak thus, behold, I should be faithless to the generation of thy children.

16

When I thought to be able to know this, it was a grievous task in mine eyes;

17

Until I went into the sanctuaries of łGod; [then] understood I their end.

18

Truly thou settest them in slippery places, thou castest them down in ruins.

19

How are they suddenly made desolate! they pass away, consumed with terrors.

20

As a dream, when one awaketh, wilt thou, Lord, on arising despise their image.

21

When my heart was in a ferment, and I was pricked in my reins,

22

Then I was brutish and knew nothing; I was [as] a beast with thee.

23

Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast holden my right hand;

24

Thou wilt guide me by thy counsel, and after the glory, thou wilt receive me.

25

Whom have I in the heavens? and there is none upon earth I desire beside thee.

26

My flesh and my heart faileth: God is the rock of my heart and my portion for ever.

27

For behold, they that are far from thee shall perish; thou destroyest every one that goeth a whoring from thee.

28

But as for me, it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord Jehovah, that I may declare all thy works.

Psalms 74

1

{An instruction: of Asaph.} Why, O God, hast thou cast off for ever? [why] doth thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture?

2

Remember thine assembly, which thou hast purchased of old, which thou hast redeemed [to be] the portion of thine inheritance, this mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt.

3

Lift up thy steps unto the perpetual desolations: everything in the sanctuary hath the enemy destroyed.

4

Thine adversaries roar in the midst of thy place of assembly; they set up their signs [for] signs.

5

[A man] was known as he could lift up axes in the thicket of trees;

6

And now they break down its carved work altogether, with hatchets and hammers.

7

They have set on fire thy sanctuary, they have profaned the habitation of thy name to the ground.

8

They said in their heart, Let us destroy them together: they have burned up all łGod's places of assembly in the land.

9

We see not our signs; there is no more any prophet, neither is there among us any that knoweth how long.

10

How long, O God, shall the adversary reproach? Shall the enemy contemn thy name for ever?

11

Why withdrawest thou thy hand, and thy right hand? [pluck it] out of thy bosom: consume [them].

12

But God is my king of old, accomplishing deliverances in the midst of the earth.

13

*Thou* didst divide the sea by thy strength; thou didst break the heads of the monsters on the waters:

14

*Thou* didst break in pieces the heads of leviathan, thou gavest him to be meat to those that people the desert.

15

*Thou* didst cleave fountain and torrent, *thou* driedst up ever-flowing rivers.

16

The day is thine, the night also is thine; *thou* hast prepared the moon and the sun:

17

*Thou* hast set all the borders of the earth; summer and winter -- *thou* didst form them.

18

Remember this, that an enemy hath reproached Jehovah, and a foolish people have contemned thy name.

19

Give not up the soul of thy turtle-dove unto the wild beast; forget not the troop of thine afflicted for ever.

20

Have respect unto the covenant; for the dark places of the earth are full of the dwellings of violence.

21

Oh let not the oppressed one return ashamed; let the afflicted and needy praise thy name.

22

Rise up, O God, plead thine own cause: remember how the foolish man reproacheth thee all the day;

23

Forget not the voice of thine adversaries: the tumult of those that rise up against thee ascendeth continually.
