Psalm 76 New American Standard Bible

The Victorious Power of the God of Jacob.

For the music director; on stringed instruments. A Psalm of Asaph, a Song.

76 God is ^(A)known in Judah;
His name is ^(B)great in Israel.
²His ^[a]^(C)tabernacle is in ^(D)Salem;
His ^(E)dwelling place also is in Zion.
³There He ^(F)broke the ^[b]flaming arrows,
The shield, the sword, and the ^[c]weapons of war. Selah

⁴You are resplendent,
^[d]More majestic than the mountains of prey.
⁵The ^(G)stouthearted were plundered,
^[e]They sank into sleep;
And none of the ^[f]warriors could use his hands.
⁶At Your ^(H)rebuke, God of Jacob,
Both ^[g]^(I)rider and horse were cast into a dead sleep.
⁷You, You indeed are ^(J)to be feared,
And ^(K)who may stand in Your presence, ^[h]once You are angry?

⁸You caused judgment to be heard from heaven;
The earth ^(L)feared and was still
⁹When God ^(M)arose to judgment,
To save all the humble of the earth. Selah
¹⁰For the ^[i]^(N)wrath of mankind shall praise You;
You will encircle Yourself with a remnant of wrath.

¹¹^(O)Make vows to the Lord your God and ^(P)fulfill them;
All who are around Him are to ^(Q)bring gifts to Him who is to be feared.
¹²He will cut off the spirit of princes;
He is ^[j]^(R)feared by the kings of the earth.

Psalm 10 New American Standard Bible

A Prayer for the Overthrow of the Wicked.

10 Why ^(A)do You stand far away, Lord?
Why ^(B)do You hide ^[a]Yourself in times of trouble?
²In ^(C)arrogance the wicked hotly pursue the needy;
^[b]Let them be ^(D)caught in the plots which they have devised.

³For the wicked ^(E)boasts of his ^(F)soul’s desire,
And ^[c]the greedy person curses and ^(G)shows disrespect to the Lord.
⁴The wicked, ^[d]in his haughtiness, ^(H)does not seek Him.
^(I)There is no God in all his schemes.

⁵His ways ^(J)succeed at all times;
Yet Your judgments are on high, ^(K)out of his sight;
As for all his enemies, he snorts at them.
⁶He says to himself, “^(L)I will not be moved;
^[e]Throughout the generations ^(M)I will not be in adversity.”
⁷His ^(N)mouth is full of cursing, deceit, and ^(O)oppression;
^(P)Under his tongue is harm and injustice.
⁸He sits in the ^(Q)lurking places of the villages;
He ^(R)kills the innocent in the secret places;
His eyes ^[f]surreptitiously watch for the ^[g]^(S)unfortunate.
⁹He lurks in secret like ^(T)a lion in his ^[h]lair;
He ^(U)lurks to catch ^(V)the needy;
He catches the needy when he pulls him into his ^(W)net.
¹⁰Then he crushes the needy one, who cowers;
And ^[i]unfortunate people fall by his mighty power.
¹¹He ^(X)says to himself, “God has forgotten;
He has hidden His face; He will never see it.”

¹²Arise, Lord; God, ^(Y)lift up Your hand.
^(Z)Do not forget the humble.
¹³Why has the wicked ^(AA)treated God disrespectfully?
He has said to himself, “^[j]You will not require an account.”
¹⁴You have seen it, for You have looked at ^(AB)harm and provocation to ^[k]take it into Your hand.
The ^[l]^(AC)unfortunate commits himself to You;
You have been the ^(AD)helper of the orphan.
¹⁵^(AE)Break the arm of the wicked and the evildoer,
^[m]^(AF)Seek out his wickedness until You find none.

¹⁶The Lord is ^(AG)King forever and ever;
^(AH)Nations have perished from His land.
¹⁷Lord, You have heard the ^(AI)desire of the humble;
You will ^(AJ)strengthen their heart, ^(AK)You will make Your ear attentive
¹⁸To ^[n]vindicate the ^(AL)orphan and the ^(AM)oppressed,
So that mankind, which is of the earth, will no longer cause ^(AN)terror.
