PSALMS
- Let all that are round about Him bring presents unto Him that is to be feared;
- 13He minisheth the spirit of princes;
- He is terrible to the kings of the earth.
77 For the Leader; for Jeduthun. A Psalm of Asaph.
- 2I will lift up my voice unto God, an cry;
- I will lift up my voice unto God, that He may give ear unto me.
- 3In the day of my trouble I seek the Lord;
- With my hand uplifted, [mine eye] streameth in the night without ceasing;
- My soul refuseth to be comforted.
- 4When I think thereon, O God, I must moan;
- When I muse thereon, my spirit fainteth. Selah
- 5Thou holdest fast the lids of mine eyes;
- I am troubled, and cannot speak.
- 6I have pondered the days of old, the years of ancient times.
- 7In the night I will call to remembrance my song;
- I will commune with mine own heart;
- And my spirit maketh diligent search
- 8'Will the Lord cast off for ever?
- And will He be favourable no more?
- 9Is His mercy clean gone for ever?

- Who is a great god like unto God?
- 15Thou art the God that doest wonders;
- Thou hast made known Thy strength among the peoples.
- 16Thou hast with Thine arm redeemed Thy people,
- The sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah
- 17The waters saw Thee, O God;
- The waters saw Thee, they were in pain;
- The depths also trembled.
- 18The clouds flooded forth waters;
- The skies sent out a sound;
- Thine arrows also went abroad.
- 19The voice of Thy thunder was in the whirlwind;
- The lightnings lighted up the world;
- The earth trembled and shook.
- 20Thy way was in the sea,
- And Thy path in the great waters,
- And Thy footsteps were not known.
- 21Thou didst lead Thy people like a flock,
- By the hand of Moses and Aaron.
78 Maschil of Asaph.
- Give ear, O my people, to my teaching;
- Incline your ears to the words of my mouth.
- 2I will open my mouth with a parable;
- I will utter dark sayings concerning days of old;
- 3That which we have heard and known,
