Psalms 79 1. <A Psalm. Of Asaph.> O God, the nations have come into your heritage; they have made your holy Temple unclean; they have made Jerusalem a mass of broken walls. 2. They have given the bodies of your servants as food to the birds of the air, and the flesh of your saints to the beasts of the earth. 3. Their blood has been flowing like water round about Jerusalem; there was no one to put them in their last resting-place. 4. We are looked down on by our neighbours, we are laughed at and made sport of by those who are round us. 5. How long, O Lord? will you be angry for ever? will your wrath go on burning like fire? ; AB Lausanne church

Psalms 78 1. <Maschil. Of Asaph.> Give ear, O my people, to my law; let your ears be bent down to the words of my mouth. 2. Opening my mouth I will give out a story, even the dark sayings of old times; 3. Which have come to our hearing and our knowledge, as they were given to us by our fathers. 4. We will not keep them secret from our children; we will make clear to the coming generation the praises of the Lord and his strength, and the great works of wonder which he has done. 5. He put up a witness in Jacob, and made a law in Israel; which he gave to our fathers so that they might give knowledge of them to their children; ; AB Lausanne church

Psalms 77 1. <To the chief music-maker. After Jeduthun. Of Asaph. A Psalm.> I was crying to God with my voice; even to God with my voice, and he gave ear to me. 2. In the day of my trouble, my heart was turned to the Lord: my hand was stretched out in the night without resting; my soul would not be comforted. 3. I will keep God in memory, with sounds of grief; my thoughts are troubled, and my spirit is overcome. (Selah.) 4. You keep my eyes from sleep; I am so troubled that no words come. 5. My thoughts go back to the days of the past, to the years which are gone. ; AB Lausanne church

Psalms 76 1. <To the chief music-maker; put to Neginoth. A Psalm. Of Asaph. A Song.> 2. In Salem is his tent, his resting-place in Zion. 3. There were the arrows of the bow broken, there he put an end to body-cover, sword, and fight. (Selah.) 4. You are shining and full of glory, more than the eternal mountains. 5. Gone is the wealth of the strong, their last sleep has overcome them; the men of war have become feeble. ; AB Lausanne church

Psalms 75 1. <To the chief music-maker; put to Al-tashheth. A Psalm. Of Asaph. A Song.> To you, O God, we give praise, to you we give praise: and those who give honour to your name make clear your works of power. 2. When the right time has come, I will be the judge in righteousness. 3. When the earth and all its people become feeble, I am the support of its pillars. (Selah.) 4. I say to the men of pride, Let your pride be gone: and to the sinners, Let not your horn be lifted up. 5. Let not your horn be lifted up: let no more words of pride come from your outstretched necks. ; AB Lausanne church

Psalms 74 1. <Maschil. Of Asaph.> Of God, why have you put us away from you for ever? why is the fire of your wrath smoking against the sheep who are your care? 2. Keep in mind your band of worshippers, for whom you gave payment in the days which are past, whom you took for yourself as the people of your heritage; even this mountain of Zion, which has been your resting-place. 3. Go up and see the unending destruction; all the evil which your haters have done in the holy place; 4. Sending out their voices like lions among your worshippers; they have put up their signs to be seen. 5. They are cutting down, like a man whose blade is lifted up against the thick trees. ; AB Lausanne church

Psalms 73 1. Truly, God is good to Israel, even to such as are clean in heart. 2. But as for me, my feet had almost gone from under me; I was near to slipping; 3. Because of my envy of the men of pride, when I saw the well-being of the wrongdoers. 4. For they have no pain; their bodies are fat and strong. 5. They are not in trouble as others are; they have no part in the unhappy fate of men. ; AB Lausanne church

Psalms 72 1. <Of Solomon.> Give the king your authority, O God, and your righteousness to the king's son. 2. May he be a judge of your people in righteousness, and make true decisions for the poor. 3. May the mountains give peace to the people, and the hills righteousness. 4. May he be a judge of the poor among the people, may he give salvation to the children of those who are in need; by him let the violent be crushed. 5. May his life go on as long as the sun and moon, through all generations. ; AB Lausanne church

Psalms 71 1. In you, O Lord, have I put my hope; let me never be shamed. 2. Keep me safe in your righteousness, and come to my help; give ear to my voice, and be my saviour. 3.

For you are my hope, O Lord God; I have had faith in you from the time when I was young. ; AB Lausanne church

Psalms 70 1. <To the chief music-maker. Of David. To keep in memory.> Let your salvation come quickly, O God; come quickly to my help, O Lord. 2. Let those who go after my soul have shame and trouble; let those who have evil designs against me be turned back and made foolish. 3. Let those who say Aha, aha! be turned back as a reward of their shame. 4. Let all those who are looking for you be glad and have joy in you; let the lovers of your salvation ever say, May God be great. 5. But I am poor and in need; come to me quickly, O God; you are my help and my saviour; let there be no waiting, O Lord. ; AB Lausanne church

Psalms 69 1. <To the chief music-maker; put to Shoshannim. Of David.> Be my saviour, O God; because the waters have come in, even to my neck. 2. My feet are deep in the soft earth, where there is no support; I have come into deep waters, the waves are flowing over me. 3. I am tired with my crying; my throat is burning: my eyes are wasted with waiting for my God. 4. Those who have hate for me without cause are greater in number than the hairs of my head; those who are against me, falsely desiring my destruction, are very strong; I gave back what I had not taken away. 5. O God, you see how foolish I am; and my wrongdoing is clear to you. ; AB Lausanne church
