Psalm 75

English Standard Version

God Will Judge with Equity

To the choirmaster: according to ^(A)Do Not Destroy. ^(B)A Psalm of Asaph. A Song.

75 We give thanks to you, O God;
we give thanks, for your name is ^(C)near.
We^[a] recount your wondrous deeds.

²“At ^(D)the set time that I appoint
    I will judge ^(E)with equity.
³When the earth ^(F)totters, and all its inhabitants,
    it is I who keep steady its ^(G)pillars. Selah
⁴I say to the boastful, ‘Do not boast,’
    and to the wicked, ^(H)‘Do not lift up your horn;
⁵do not lift up your horn on high,
    or speak with haughty neck.’”

⁶For not from the east or from the west
    and not from the wilderness comes ^(I)lifting up,
⁷but it is ^(J)God who executes judgment,
    ^(K)putting down one and lifting up another.
⁸^(L)For in the hand of the Lord there is ^(M)a cup
    with foaming wine, ^(N)well mixed,
and he pours out from it,
    and all the wicked of the earth
    shall ^(O)drain it down to the dregs.

⁹But I will declare it forever;
I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
¹⁰^(P)All the horns of the wicked I will cut off,
^(Q)but the horns of the righteous shall be lifted up.

Psalm 77

English Standard Version

In the Day of Trouble I Seek the Lord

To the choirmaster: according to ^(A)Jeduthun. A Psalm of ^(B)Asaph.

77 I ^(C)cry aloud to God,
    aloud to God, and he will hear me.
²^(D)In the day of my trouble I seek the Lord;
    in ^(E)the night my ^(F)hand is stretched out without wearying;
    my soul ^(G)refuses to be comforted.
³When I remember God, I ^(H)moan;
    when I meditate, my spirit faints. Selah

⁴You hold my eyelids open;
    I am so ^(I)troubled that I cannot speak.
⁵I consider ^(J)the days of old,
    the years long ago.
⁶I said,^[a] “Let me remember my ^(K)song in the night;
    let me ^(L)meditate in my heart.”
    Then my spirit made a diligent search:
⁷“Will the Lord ^(M)spurn forever,
    and never again ^(N)be favorable?
⁸Has his steadfast love forever ceased?
    Are his ^(O)promises at an end for all time?
⁹^(P)Has God forgotten to be gracious?
    ^(Q)Has he in anger shut up his compassion?” Selah

¹⁰Then I said, “I will appeal to this,
to the years of the ^(R)right hand of the Most High.”^[b]

¹¹I will remember the deeds of the Lord;
    yes, I will ^(S)remember your wonders of old.
¹²I will ponder all your ^(T)work,
    and meditate on your ^(U)mighty deeds.
¹³Your way, O God, is ^(V)holy.
    ^(W)What god is great like our God?
¹⁴You are the God who ^(X)works wonders;
    you have ^(Y)made known your might among the peoples.
¹⁵You ^(Z)with your arm redeemed your people,
    the children of Jacob and Joseph. Selah

¹⁶When ^(AA)the waters saw you, O God,
    when the waters saw you, they were afraid;
    indeed, the deep trembled.
¹⁷The clouds poured out water;
    the skies ^(AB)gave forth thunder;
    your ^(AC)arrows flashed on every side.
¹⁸^(AD)The crash of your thunder was in the whirlwind;
    ^(AE)your lightnings lighted up the world;
    the earth ^(AF)trembled and shook.
¹⁹Your ^(AG)way was through the sea,
    your path through the great waters;
    yet your footprints ^(AH)were unseen.^[c]
²⁰You ^(AI)led your people like a flock
    by the hand of Moses and Aaron.

Psalm 80

English Standard Version

Restore Us, O God

To the choirmaster: according to ^(A)Lilies. A Testimony. Of ^(B)Asaph, a Psalm.

80 Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel,
    you who lead ^(C)Joseph like ^(D)a flock.
You who are ^(E)enthroned upon the cherubim, ^(F)shine forth.
²    Before ^(G)Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh,
^(H)stir up your might
    and ^(I)come to save us!

³^(J)Restore us,^[a] O God;
^(K)let your face shine, that we may be saved!

⁴O ^(L)Lord God of hosts,
    ^(M)how long will you be angry with your people's prayers?
⁵You have fed them with ^(N)the bread of tears
    and given them tears to drink in full measure.
⁶^(O)You make us an object of contention for our ^(P)neighbors,
    and our enemies laugh among themselves.

⁷^(Q)Restore us, O God of hosts;
let your face shine, that we may be saved!

⁸You brought ^(R)a vine out of Egypt;
    you ^(S)drove out the nations and planted it.
⁹You ^(T)cleared the ground for it;
    it took deep root and filled the land.
¹⁰The mountains were covered with its shade,
    the mighty cedars with its branches.
¹¹It sent out its branches to ^(U)the sea
    and its shoots to ^(V)the River.^[b]
¹²Why then have you ^(W)broken down its walls,
    so that all who pass along the way pluck its fruit?
¹³^(X)The boar from the forest ravages it,
    and all that move in the field feed on it.

¹⁴Turn again, O God of hosts!
    ^(Y)Look down from heaven, and see;
have regard for this vine,
¹⁵    the stock that your right hand planted,
    and for the son whom you made strong for yourself.
¹⁶They have ^(Z)burned it with fire; they have ^(AA)cut it down;
    may they perish at ^(AB)the rebuke of your face!
¹⁷But ^(AC)let your hand be on the man of your right hand,
    the son of man whom you have made strong for yourself!
¹⁸Then we shall not turn back from you;
    ^(AD)give us life, and we will call upon your name!
