3 I remembered God, and was troubled: I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed.
Selah.
Psalms 77:4
4 Thou holdest mine eyes waking: I am so troubled that I cannot speak.
Psalms 77:5
5 I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times.
Psalms 77:6
6 I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with mine own heart:
and my spirit made diligent search.
Psalms 77:7
7 Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be favourable no more?
Psalms 77:8
8 Is his mercy clean gone for ever? doth [his] promise fail for evermore?
Psalms 77:9
9 Hath God forgotten to be gracious? hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies?
Selah.
Psalms 77:10
10 And I said, This [is] my infirmity: [but I will remember] the years of the
right hand of the most High.
Psalms 77:11
11 ¶ I will remember the works of the LORD: surely I will remember thy
wonders of old.
Psalms 77:12
12 I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of thy doings.
Psalms 77:13
13 Thy way, O God, [is] in the sanctuary: who [is so] great a God as [our] God?
Psalms 77:14
14 Thou [art] the God that doest wonders: thou hast declared thy strength among
the people.
Psalms 77:15
15 Thou hast with [thine] arm redeemed thy people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph.
Selah.
Psalms 77:16
16 The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee; they were afraid: the depths
also were troubled.
Psalms 77:17
17 The clouds poured out water: the skies sent out a sound: thine arrows also
went abroad.
Psalms 77:18
18 The voice of thy thunder [was] in the heaven: the lightnings lightened the
world: the earth trembled and shook.
Psalms 77:19
19 Thy way [is] in the sea, and thy path in the great waters, and thy footsteps
are not known.
Psalms 77:20
20 Thou leddest thy people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
Chapter 78
Psalms 78:1
1 ¶ Maschil of Asaph. Give ear, O my people, [to] my law: incline your
ears to the words of my mouth.
Psalms 78:2
2 I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old:
Psalms 78:3
3 Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us.
Psalms 78:4
4 We will not hide [them] from their children, shewing to the generation to
come the praises of the LORD, and his strength, and his wonderful works that
he hath done.
Psalms 78:5
5 For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which
he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children:
Psalms 78:6
6 That the generation to come might know [them, even] the children [which] should
be born; [who] should arise and declare [them] to their children:
Psalms 78:7
7 That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but
keep his commandments:
Psalms 78:8
8 And might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation; a
generation [that] set not their heart aright, and whose spirit was not stedfast
with God.
Psalms 78:9
9 ¶ The children of Ephraim, [being] armed, [and] carrying bows, turned
back in the day of battle.
Psalms 78:10
10 They kept not the covenant of God, and refused to walk in his law;
Psalms 78:11
11 And forgat his works, and his wonders that he had shewed them.
Psalms 78:12
12 Marvellous things did he in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt,
[in] the field of Zoan.
Psalms 78:13
13 He divided the sea, and caused them to pass through; and he made the waters
to stand as an heap.
Psalms 78:14
14 In the daytime also he led them with a cloud, and all the night with a light
of fire.
Psalms 78:15
15 He clave the rocks in the wilderness, and gave [them] drink as [out of] the
great depths.
Psalms 78:16
16 He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like
rivers.
Psalms 78:17
17 And they sinned yet more against him by provoking the most High in the wilderness.
Psalms 78:18
18 And they tempted God in their heart by asking meat for their lust.
Psalms 78:19
19 Yea, they spake against God; they said, Can God furnish a table in the wilderness?
Psalms 78:20
20 Behold, he smote the rock, that the waters gushed out, and the streams overflowed;
can he give bread also? can he provide flesh for his people?
Psalms 78:21
21 Therefore the LORD heard [this], and was wroth: so a fire was kindled against
Jacob, and anger also came up against Israel;
Psalms 78:22
22 Because they believed not in God, and trusted not in his salvation:
Psalms 78:23
23 Though he had commanded the clouds from above, and opened the doors of heaven,
Psalms 78:24
24 And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them of the corn
of heaven.
Psalms 78:25
25 Man did eat angels' food: he sent them meat to the full.
Psalms 78:26
26 He caused an east wind to blow in the heaven: and by his power he brought
in the south wind.
Psalms 78:27
27 He rained flesh also upon them as dust, and feathered fowls like as the sand
of the sea:
Psalms 78:28
28 And he let [it] fall in the midst of their camp, round about their habitations.
Psalms 78:29
29 So they did eat, and were well filled: for he gave them their own desire;
Psalms 78:30
30 They were not estranged from their lust. But while their meat [was] yet in
their mouths,
Psalms 78:31
31 The wrath of God came upon them, and slew the fattest of them, and smote
down the chosen [men] of Israel.
Psalms 78:32
32 For all this they sinned still, and believed not for his wondrous works.
Psalms 78:33
33 Therefore their days did he consume in vanity, and their years in trouble.
Psalms 78:34
34 When he slew them, then they sought him: and they returned and enquired early
after God.
Psalms 78:35
35 And they remembered that God [was] their rock, and the high God their redeemer.
Psalms 78:36
36 Nevertheless they did flatter him with their mouth, and they lied unto him
with their tongues.
Psalms 78:37
37 For their heart was not right with him, neither were they stedfast in his
covenant.
Psalms 78:38
38 But he, [being] full of compassion, forgave [their] iniquity, and destroyed
[them] not: yea, many a time turned he his anger away, and did not stir up all
his wrath.
Psalms 78:39
39 For he remembered that they [were but] flesh; a wind that passeth away, and
cometh not again.
Psalms 78:40
40 ¶ How oft did they provoke him in the wilderness, [and] grieve him in
the desert!
Psalms 78:41
41 Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel.
Psalms 78:42
42 They remembered not his hand, [nor] the day when he delivered them from the
enemy.
Psalms 78:43
43 How he had wrought his signs in Egypt, and his wonders in the field of Zoan:
Psalms 78:44
44 And had turned their rivers into blood; and their floods, that they could
not drink.
Psalms 78:45
45 He sent divers sorts of flies among them, which devoured them; and frogs,
which destroyed them.
Psalms 78:46
46 He gave also their increase unto the caterpiller, and their labour unto the
locust.
Psalms 78:47
47 He destroyed their vines with hail, and their sycomore trees with frost.
Psalms 78:48
48 He gave up their cattle also to the hail, and their flocks to hot thunderbolts.
Psalms 78:49
49 He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, and indignation, and
trouble, by sending evil angels [among them].
Psalms 78:50
50 He made a way to his anger; he spared not their soul from death, but gave
their life over to the pestilence;
Psalms 78:51
51 And smote all the firstborn in Egypt; the chief of [their] strength in the
tabernacles of Ham:
Psalms 78:52
52 But made his own people to go forth like sheep, and guided them in the wilderness
like a flock.
Psalms 78:53
53 And he led them on safely, so that they feared not: but the sea overwhelmed
their enemies.
Psalms 78:54
54 And he brought them to the border of his sanctuary, [even to] this mountain,
[which] his right hand had purchased.
Psalms 78:55
55 He cast out the heathen also before them, and divided them an inheritance
by line, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents.
Psalms 78:56
56 Yet they tempted and provoked the most high God, and kept not his testimonies:
Psalms 78:57
57 But turned back, and dealt unfaithfully like their fathers: they were turned
aside like a deceitful bow.
Psalms 78:58
58 For they provoked him to anger with their high places, and moved him to jealousy
with their graven images.
Psalms 78:59
59 When God heard [this], he was wroth, and greatly abhorred Israel:
Psalms 78:60
60 So that he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent [which] he placed among
men;
Psalms 78:61
61 And delivered his strength into captivity, and his glory into the enemy's
hand.
Psalms 78:62
62 He gave his people over also unto the sword; and was wroth with his inheritance.
Psalms 78:63
63 The fire consumed their young men; and their maidens were not given to marriage.
Psalms 78:64
64 Their priests fell by the sword; and their widows made no lamentation.
Psalms 78:65
65 Then the Lord awaked as one out of sleep, [and] like a mighty man that shouteth
by reason of wine.
Psalms 78:66
66 And he smote his enemies in the hinder parts: he put them to a perpetual
reproach.
Psalms 78:67
67 Moreover he refused the tabernacle of Joseph, and chose not the tribe of
Ephraim:
Psalms 78:68
68 But chose the tribe of Judah, the mount Zion which he loved.
Psalms 78:69
69 And he built his sanctuary like high [palaces], like the earth which he hath
established for ever.
Psalms 78:70
70 He chose David also his servant, and took him from the sheepfolds:
Psalms 78:71
71 From following the ewes great with young he brought him to feed Jacob his
people, and Israel his inheritance.
Psalms 78:72
72 So he fed them according to the integrity of his heart; and guided them by
the skilfulness of his hands.
Chapter 79
Psalms 79:1
1 ¶ A Psalm of Asaph. O God, the heathen are come into thine inheritance;
thy holy temple have they defiled; they have laid Jerusalem on heaps.
Psalms 79:2
2 The dead bodies of thy servants have they given [to be] meat unto the fowls
of the heaven, the flesh of thy saints unto the beasts of the earth.
Psalms 79:3
3 Their blood have they shed like water round about Jerusalem; and [there was]
none to bury [them].
Psalms 79:4
4 We are become a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and derision to them that
are round about us.
Psalms 79:5
5 How long, LORD? wilt thou be angry for ever? shall thy jealousy burn like
fire?
Psalms 79:6
6 ¶ Pour out thy wrath upon the heathen that have not known thee, and upon
the kingdoms that have not called upon thy name.
Psalms 79:7
7 For they have devoured Jacob, and laid waste his dwelling place.
Psalms 79:8
8 O remember not against us former iniquities: let thy tender mercies speedily
prevent us: for we are brought very low.
Psalms 79:9
9 Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of thy name: and deliver us,
and purge away our sins, for thy name's sake.
Psalms 79:10
10 Wherefore should the heathen say, Where [is] their God? let him be known
among the heathen in our sight [by] the revenging of the blood of thy servants
[which is] shed.
Psalms 79:11
11 Let the sighing of the prisoner come before thee; according to the greatness
of thy power preserve thou those that are appointed to die;
Psalms 79:12
12 And render unto our neighbours sevenfold into their bosom their reproach,
wherewith they have reproached thee, O Lord.
Psalms 79:13
13 So we thy people and sheep of thy pasture will give thee thanks for ever:
we will shew forth thy praise to all generations.
Chapter 80
Psalms 80:1
1 ¶ To the chief Musician upon Shoshannimeduth, A Psalm of Asaph. Give
ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; thou that
dwellest [between] the cherubims, shine forth.
Psalms 80:2
2 Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh stir up thy strength, and come [and]
save us.
Psalms 80:3
3 Turn us again, O God, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
Psalms 80:4
4 O LORD God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy
people?
Psalms 80:5
5 Thou feedest them with the bread of tears; and givest them tears to drink
in great measure.
Psalms 80:6
6 Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbours: and our enemies laugh among themselves.
Psalms 80:7
7 Turn us again, O God of hosts, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be
saved.
Psalms 80:8
8 ¶ Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt: thou hast cast out the heathen,
and planted it.
Psalms 80:9
9 Thou preparedst [room] before it, and didst cause it to take deep root, and
it filled the land.
Psalms 80:10
10 The hills were covered with the shadow of it, and the boughs thereof [were
like] the goodly cedars.
Psalms 80:11
11 She sent out her boughs unto the sea, and her branches unto the river.
Psalms 80:12
12 Why hast thou [then] broken down her hedges, so that all they which pass
by the way do pluck her?
Psalms 80:13
13 The boar out of the wood doth waste it, and the wild beast of the field doth
devour it.
Psalms 80:14
14 Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: look down from heaven, and behold,
and visit this vine;
Psalms 80:15
15 And the vineyard which thy right hand hath planted, and the branch [that]
thou madest strong for thyself.
Psalms 80:16
16 [It is] burned with fire, [it is] cut down: they perish at the rebuke of
thy countenance.
Psalms 80:17
17 Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, upon the son of man [whom]
thou madest strong for thyself.
Psalms 80:18
18 So will not we go back from thee: quicken us, and we will call upon thy name.
Psalms 80:19
19 Turn us again, O LORD God of hosts, cause thy face to shine; and we shall
be saved.

unto God our strength: make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob.
Psalms 81:2
2 Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel, the pleasant harp with the psaltery.
Psalms 81:3
3 Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn
feast day.
Psalms 81:4
4 For this [was] a statute for Israel, [and] a law of the God of Jacob.
Psalms 81:5
5 This he ordained in Joseph [for] a testimony, when he went out through the
land of Egypt: [where] I heard a language [that] I understood not.
Psalms 81:6
6 I removed his shoulder from the burden: his hands were delivered from the
pots.
Psalms 81:7
7 Thou calledst in trouble, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the secret
place of thunder: I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. Selah.
Psalms 81:8
8 ¶ Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee: O Israel, if thou
wilt hearken unto me;
Psalms 81:9
9 There shall no strange god be in thee; neither shalt thou worship any strange
god.
Psalms 81:10
10 I [am] the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open
thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.
Psalms 81:11
11 But my people would not hearken to my voice; and Israel would none of me.
Psalms 81:12
12 So I gave them up unto their own hearts' lust: [and] they walked in their
own counsels.
Psalms 81:13
13 Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, [and] Israel had walked in my ways!
Psalms 81:14
14 I should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their
adversaries.
Psalms 81:15
15 The haters of the LORD should have submitted themselves unto him: but their
time should have endured for ever.
Psalms 81:16
16 He should have fed them also with the finest of the wheat: and with honey
out of the rock should I have satisfied thee.
Chapter 82
Psalms 82:1
1 ¶ A Psalm of Asaph. God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he
judgeth among the gods.

3 Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy.
Psalms 82:4

the foundations of the earth are out of course.

6 ¶ I have said, Ye [are] gods; and all of you [are] children of the most
High.
Psalms 82:7

thy peace, and be not still, O God.
Psalms 83:2
2 For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted
up the head.
Psalms 83:3
3 They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy
hidden ones.
Psalms 83:4
4 They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from [being] a nation; that
the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.
Psalms 83:5
5 For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against
thee:
Psalms 83:6
6 The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes;
Psalms 83:7
7 Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre;
Psalms 83:8
8 Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah.
Psalms 83:9
9 ¶ Do unto them as [unto] the Midianites; as [to] Sisera, as [to] Jabin,
at the brook of Kison:
Psalms 83:10
10 [Which] perished at Endor: they became [as] dung for the earth.
Psalms 83:11
11 Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes as Zebah,
and as Zalmunna:
Psalms 83:12
12 Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in possession.
Psalms 83:13
13 O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the wind.
Psalms 83:14
14 As the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire;
Psalms 83:15
15 So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid with thy storm.
Psalms 83:16
16 Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy name, O LORD.
Psalms 83:17
17 Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be put to shame,
and perish:
Psalms 83:18
18 That [men] may know that thou, whose name alone [is] JEHOVAH, [art] the most
high over all the earth.

2 My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the LORD: my heart and
my flesh crieth out for the living God.
Psalms 84:3
3 Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a nest for herself,
where she may lay her young, [even] thine altars, O LORD of hosts, my King,
and my God.
Psalms 84:4
4 Blessed [are] they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising thee.
Selah.
Psalms 84:5
5 Blessed [is] the man whose strength [is] in thee; in whose heart [are] the
ways [of them].
Psalms 84:6

the pools.

Psalms 84:9
9 Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed.
Psalms 84:10
10 For a day in thy courts [is] better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper
in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.
Psalms 84:11
11 For the LORD God [is] a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory:
no good [thing] will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.
Psalms 84:12

sin. Selah.
Psalms 85:3

of thine anger.
Psalms 85:4

Psalms 85:5
5 Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? wilt thou draw out thine anger to all
generations?

his people, and to his saints: but let them not turn again to folly.

our land.

other].

heaven.

increase.

thy name.
Psalms 86:12

thy name for evermore.

and plenteous in mercy and truth.

Psalms 88:3
3 For my soul is full of troubles: and my life draweth nigh unto the grave.
Psalms 88:4
4 I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a man [that hath]
no strength:
Psalms 88:5
5 Free among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom thou rememberest
no more: and they are cut off from thy hand.
