Psalms 72

1: A Psalm of Solomon. Give the king thy justice, O God, and thy righteousness to the royal son!
2: May he judge thy people with righteousness, and thy poor with justice!
3: Let the mountains bear prosperity for the people, and the hills, in righteousness!
4: May he defend the cause of the poor of the people, give deliverance to the needy, and crush the oppressor!
5: May he live while the sun endures, and as long as the moon, throughout all generations!
6: May he be like rain that falls on the mown grass, like showers that water the earth!
7: In his days may righteousness flourish, and peace abound, till the moon be no more!
8: May he have dominion from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth!
9: May his foes bow down before him, and his enemies lick the dust!
10: May the kings of Tarshish and of the isles render him tribute, may the kings of Sheba and Seba bring gifts!
11: May all kings fall down before him, all nations serve him!
12: For he delivers the needy when he calls, the poor and him who has no helper.
13: He has pity on the weak and the needy, and saves the lives of the needy.
14: From oppression and violence he redeems their life; and precious is their blood in his sight.
15: Long may he live, may gold of Sheba be given to him! May prayer be made for him continually, and blessings invoked for him all the day!
16: May there be abundance of grain in the land; on the tops of the mountains may it wave; may its fruit be like Lebanon; and may men blossom forth from the cities like the grass of the field!
17: May his name endure for ever, his fame continue as long as the sun! May men bless themselves by him, all nations call him blessed!
18: Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, who alone does wondrous things.
19: Blessed be his glorious name for ever; may his glory fill the whole earth! 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 the upright, to those who are pure in heart.
2: But as for me, my feet had almost stumbled, my steps had well nigh slipped.
3: For I was envious of the arrogant, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
4: For they have no pangs; their bodies are sound and sleek.
5: They are not in trouble as other men are; they are not stricken like other men.
6: Therefore pride is their necklace; violence covers them as a garment.
7: Their eyes swell out with fatness, their hearts overflow with follies.
8: They scoff and speak with malice; loftily they threaten oppression.
9: They set their mouths against the heavens, and their tongue struts through the earth.
10: Therefore the people turn and praise them; and find no fault in them.
11: And they say, "How can God know? Is there knowledge in the Most High?"
12: Behold, these are the wicked; always at ease, they increase in riches.
13: All in vain have I kept my heart clean and washed my hands in innocence.
14: For all the day long I have been stricken, and chastened every morning.
15: If I had said, "I will speak thus," I would have been untrue to the generation of thy children.
16: But when I thought how to understand this, it seemed to me a wearisome task,
17: until I went into the sanctuary of God; then I perceived their end.
18: Truly thou dost set them in slippery places; thou dost make them fall to ruin.
19: How they are destroyed in a moment, swept away utterly by terrors!
20: They are like a dream when one awakes, on awaking you despise their phantoms.
21: When my soul was embittered, when I was pricked in heart,
22: I was stupid and ignorant, I was like a beast toward thee.
23: Nevertheless I am continually with thee; thou dost hold my right hand.
24: Thou dost guide me with thy counsel, and afterward thou wilt receive me to glory.
25: Whom have I in heaven but thee? And there is nothing upon earth that I desire besides thee.
26: My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion for ever.
27: For lo, those who are far from thee shall perish; thou dost put an end to those who are false to thee.
28: But for me it is good to be near God; I have made the Lord GOD my refuge, that I may tell of all thy works.

Psalms 74

1: A Maskil of Asaph. O God, why dost thou cast us off for ever? Why does thy anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture?
2: Remember thy congregation, which thou hast gotten of old, which thou hast redeemed to be the tribe of thy heritage! Remember Mount Zion, where thou hast dwelt.
3: Direct thy steps to the perpetual ruins; the enemy has destroyed everything in the sanctuary!
4: Thy foes have roared in the midst of thy holy place; they set up their own signs for signs.
5: At the upper entrance they hacked the wooden trellis with axes.
6: And then all its carved wood they broke down with hatchets and hammers.
7: They set thy sanctuary on fire; to the ground they desecrated the dwelling place of thy name.
8: They said to themselves, "We will utterly subdue them"; they burned all the meeting places of God in the land.
9: We do not see our signs; there is no longer any prophet, and there is none among us who knows how long.
10: How long, O God, is the foe to scoff? Is the enemy to revile thy name for ever?
11: Why dost thou hold back thy hand, why dost thou keep thy right hand in thy bosom?
12: Yet God my King is from of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth.
13: Thou didst divide the sea by thy might; thou didst break the heads of the dragons on the waters.
14: Thou didst crush the heads of Leviathan, thou didst give him as food for the creatures of the wilderness.
15: Thou didst cleave open springs and brooks; thou didst dry up ever-flowing streams.
16: Thine is the day, thine also the night; thou hast established the luminaries and the sun.
17: Thou hast fixed all the bounds of the earth; thou hast made summer and winter.
18: Remember this, O LORD, how the enemy scoffs, and an impious people reviles thy name.
19: Do not deliver the soul of thy dove to the wild beasts; do not forget the life of thy poor for ever.
20: Have regard for thy covenant; for the dark places of the land are full of the habitations of violence.
21: Let not the downtrodden be put to shame; let the poor and needy praise thy name.
22: Arise, O God, plead thy cause; remember how the impious scoff at thee all the day!
23: Do not forget the clamor of thy foes, the uproar of thy adversaries which goes up continually!
