noyes@Psalms:73:2 @ Yet my feet almost gave way; My steps had well nigh slipped:
noyes@Psalms:73:3 @ For I was envious of the proud, When I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
noyes@Psalms:73:4 @ For they have no pains even to their death; Their bodies are in full health.
noyes@Psalms:73:5 @ They have not the woes of other men, Neither are they smitten like other men.

noyes@Psalms:73:15 @ If I should resolve to speak like them, Surely I should be treacherous to the family of thy children.
noyes@Psalms:73:16 @ So, when I studied to know this, It was painful to my eyes;
noyes@Psalms:73:17 @ Until I went into the sanctuaries of God, And considered what was their end.
noyes@Psalms:73:18 @ Behold! thou hast set them on slippery places; Thou castest them down into unseen pits.
noyes@Psalms:73:19 @ How are they brought to desolation in a moment, And utterly consumed with sudden destruction!

noyes@Psalms:74:2 @ Remember the people which thou didst purchase of old; Thine own inheritance, which thou didst redeem; That Mount Zion, where thou once didst dwell!
noyes@Psalms:74:3 @ Hasten thy steps to those utter desolations! Every thing in the sanctuary hath the enemy abused!
noyes@Psalms:74:4 @ Thine enemies roar in the place of thine assemblies; Their own symbols have they set up for signs.
noyes@Psalms:74:5 @ They appear like those who raise the axe against a thicket;
noyes@Psalms:74:6 @ They have broken down the carved work of thy temple with axes and hammers;
noyes@Psalms:74:7 @ They have cast fire into thy sanctuary; They have profaned, and cast to the ground, the dwellingplace of thy name.
noyes@Psalms:74:8 @ They said in their hearts, "Let us destroy them all together!" They have burned all Gods places of assembly in the land.
noyes@Psalms:74:9 @ We no longer see our signs; There is no prophet among us, Nor any one that knoweth how long this desolation shall endure.
noyes@Psalms:74:10 @ How long, O God! shall the adversary revile? Shall the enemy blaspheme thy name for ever?

noyes@Psalms:77:5 @ I think of the days of old,The years of ancient times.
noyes@Psalms:77:6 @ I call to remembrance my songs in the night; I meditate in my heart, And my spirit inquireth:
noyes@Psalms:77:7 @ Will the Lord be angry for ever? Will he be favorable no more?
noyes@Psalms:77:8 @ Is his mercy utterly withdrawn for ever? Doth his promise fail from generation to generation?

noyes@Psalms:78:3 @ What we have heard and learned, And our fathers have told us,
noyes@Psalms:78:4 @ We will not hide from their children; Showing to the generation to come the praises of Jehovah, His might, and the wonders he hath wrought.
noyes@Psalms:78:5 @ For he appointed statutes in Jacob, And established a law in Israel, Which he commanded our fathers To make known to their children;
noyes@Psalms:78:6 @ So that the generation to come might know them; The children, which should be born, and rise up, Who should declare them to their children;
noyes@Psalms:78:7 @ That they might put their trust in God, And not forget his deeds, But keep his commandments;

noyes@Psalms:78:18 @ They tempted God in their hearts, By asking food for their delight.
noyes@Psalms:78:19 @ Yea, they spake against God, and said, "Can God spread a table in the wilderness?

noyes@Psalms:78:31 @ When the wrath of God came upon them, And slew their strong men, And smote down the chosen men of Israel.
noyes@Psalms:78:32 @ For all this they sinned still, And put no trust in his wondrous works.
noyes@Psalms:78:33 @ Therefore he consumed their days in vanity, And their years in sudden destruction.
noyes@Psalms:78:34 @ When he slew them, they sought him; They returned, and sought earnestly for God;
noyes@Psalms:78:35 @ And remembered that God was their rock, And the Most High their redeemer.
noyes@Psalms:78:36 @ But they only flattered him with their mouths, And spake falsely to him with their tongues.
noyes@Psalms:78:37 @ For their hearts were not true to him, Nor were they steadfast in his covenant.

noyes@Psalms:78:48 @ He also gave up their cattle to hail, And their flocks to hot thunderbolts.
noyes@Psalms:78:49 @ He sent against them the fierceness of his anger, Wrath, indignation, and woe,A host of angels of evil.
noyes@Psalms:78:50 @ He made a way for his anger, He spared them not from death, But gave up their lives to the pestilence.
noyes@Psalms:78:51 @ He smote all the firstborn in Egypt; The firstfruits of their strength in the tents of Ham.
noyes@Psalms:78:52 @ But he led forth his own people like sheep, And guided them like a flock in the wilderness.

noyes@Psalms:78:64 @ Their priests fell by the sword, And their widows made no lamentation.
noyes@Psalms:78:65 @ But at length the Lord awaked as from sleep, As a hero who had been overpowered by wine;
noyes@Psalms:78:66 @ He smote his enemies, and drove them back, And covered them with everlasting disgrace.
noyes@Psalms:78:67 @ Yet he rejected the tents of Joseph, And chose not the tribe of Ephraim;
noyes@Psalms:78:68 @ But chose the tribe of Judah, The Mount Zion which he loved;
noyes@Psalms:78:69 @ Where he built, like the heavens, his sanctuary; Like the earth, which he hath established for ever.
