Foolish people have blasphemed your name.
074:019 Don't deliver the soul of your dove to wild beasts.
Don't forget the life of your poor forever.
074:020 Honor your covenant, for haunts of violence fill the dark
places of the earth.
074:021 Don't let the oppressed return ashamed. Let the poor and needy
praise your name.
074:022 Arise, God! Plead your own cause. Remember how the foolish
man mocks you all day.
074:023 Don't forget the voice of your adversaries. The tumult
of those who rise up against you ascends continually.
075:001 <<For the Chief Musician. To the tune of "Do Not Destroy."
A Psalm by Asaph. A song.>> We give thanks to you, God.
We give thanks, for your Name is near. Men tell about
your wondrous works.
075:002 When I choose the appointed time, I will judge blamelessly.
075:003 The earth and all its inhabitants quake. I firmly hold
its pillars. Selah.
075:004 I said to the arrogant, "Don't boast!" I said to the wicked,
"Don't lift up the horn.
075:005 Don't lift up your horn on high. Don't speak with a stiff neck."
075:006 For neither from the east, nor from the west, nor yet from
the south, comes exaltation.
075:007 But God is the judge. He puts down one, and lifts up another.
075:008 For in the hand of Yahweh there is a cup, full of foaming
wine mixed with spices. He pours it out. Indeed the wicked
of the earth drink and drink it to its very dregs.
075:009 But I will declare this forever: I will sing praises to
the God of Jacob.
075:010 I will cut off all the horns of the wicked, but the horns
of the righteous shall be lifted up.
076:001 <<For the Chief Musician. On stringed instruments.
A Psalm by Asaph. A song.>> In Judah, God is known.
His name is great in Israel.
076:002 His tent is also in Salem; His dwelling place in Zion.
076:003 There he broke the flaming arrows of the bow, the shield,
and the sword, and the weapons of war. Selah.
076:004 Glorious are you, and excellent, more than mountains of game.
076:005 Valiant men lie plundered, they have slept their last sleep.
None of the men of war can lift their hands.
076:006 At your rebuke, God of Jacob, both chariot and horse are cast
into a deep sleep.
076:007 You, even you, are to be feared. Who can stand in your sight
when you are angry?
076:008 You pronounced judgment from heaven. The earth feared,
and was silent,
076:009 when God arose to judgment, to save all the afflicted ones
of the earth. Selah.
076:010 Surely the wrath of man praises you. The survivors of your
wrath are restrained.
076:011 Make vows to Yahweh your God, and fulfill them! Let all of his
neighbors bring presents to him who is to be feared.
076:012 He will cut off the spirit of princes. He is feared by the kings
of the earth.
077:001 <<For the Chief Musician.
