If only salvation for Israel would come from Zion! When Yahweh restores the fortunes of his people, Jacob will rejoice. Israel will be glad.

Yet, you are holy, enthroned on the praises of Israel.

All who fear Yahweh, praise him! All you descendants of Jacob, glorify him! Stand in awe of him, all you descendants of Israel.

Rescue Israel, O Elohim, from all its troubles!

Thank Yahweh Elohim of Israel through all eternity! Amen and amen!

“Listen, my people, and I will speak. Listen, Israel, and I will testify against you: I am Elohim, your Elohim!

If only salvation for Israel would come from Zion! When Elohim restores the fortunes of his people, Jacob will rejoice. Israel will be glad.

O Yahweh Elohim Tsebaoth, Elohim of Israel, arise to punish all the nations. Have no pity on any traitors. Selah

the earth quaked and the sky poured in the presence of the Elohim of Sinai, in the presence of the Elohim of Israel.

Thank Elohim, Yahweh, the source of Israel, with the choirs.

Acknowledge the power of Elohim. His majesty is over Israel, and his power is in the skies.

Elohim, the El of Israel, is awe-inspiring in his holy place. He gives strength and power to his people. Thanks be to Elohim!

Do not let those who wait with hope for you be put to shame because of me, O Adonay Yahweh Tsebaoth. Do not let those who come to you for help be humiliated because of me, O Elohim of Israel.

Thank Yahweh Elohim, the Elohim of Israel, who alone does miracles.

BOOK THREE

(Psalms 73–89)

Psalm 73

A psalm by Asaph.

Elohim is truly good to Israel, to those whose lives are pure.

Psalm 76

For the choir director; on stringed instruments; a psalm by Asaph; a song.

Elohim is known in Judah. His name is great in Israel.

He established written instructions for Jacob’s people. He gave his teachings to Israel. He commanded our ancestors to make them known to their children

When Yahweh heard this, he became furious. His fire burned against Jacob and his anger flared up at Israel

the anger of Elohim flared up against them. He killed their strongest men and slaughtered the best young men in Israel.

He forced nations out of their way and gave them the land of the nations as their inheritance. He settled the tribes of Israel in their own tents.

When Elohim heard, he became furious. He completely rejected Israel.

He brought him from tending the ewes that had lambs so that David could be the shepherd of the people of Jacob, of Israel, the people who belonged to Yahweh.

Psalm 80

For the choir director; according to shoshannim eduth; by Asaph; a psalm.

Open your ears, O Roeh of Israel, the one who leads the descendants of Joseph like sheep, the one who is enthroned over the angels.

This is a law for Israel, a legal decision from the Elohim of Jacob.

Listen, my people, and I will warn you. Israel, if you would only listen to me!
