Psalms:73-89
web@Psalms:73:1 @ A Psalm by Asaph. Surely God {The Hebrew word rendered "God" is "Elohim."} is good to Israel, to those who are pure in heart.
web@Psalms:73:2 @ But as for me, my feet were almost gone. My steps had nearly slipped.
web@Psalms:73:3 @ For I was envious of the arrogant, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
web@Psalms:73:4 @ For there are no struggles in their death, but their strength is firm.
web@Psalms:73:5 @ They are free from burdens of men, neither are they plagued like other men.
web@Psalms:73:6 @ Therefore pride is like a chain around their neck. Violence covers them like a garment.
web@Psalms:73:7 @ Their eyes bulge with fat. Their minds pass the limits of conceit.
web@Psalms:73:8 @ They scoff and speak with malice. In arrogance, they threaten oppression.
web@Psalms:73:9 @ They have set their mouth in the heavens. Their tongue walks through the earth.
web@Psalms:73:10 @ Therefore their people return to them, and they drink up waters of abundance.
web@Psalms:73:11 @ They say, "How does God know? Is there knowledge in the Most High?"
web@Psalms:73:12 @ Behold, these are the wicked. Being always at ease, they increase in riches.
web@Psalms:73:13 @ Surely in vain I have cleansed my heart, and washed my hands in innocence,
web@Psalms:73:14 @ For all day long have I been plagued, and punished every morning.
web@Psalms:73:15 @ If I had said, "I will speak thus"; behold, I would have betrayed the generation of your children.
web@Psalms:73:16 @ When I tried to understand this, it was too painful for me;
web@Psalms:73:17 @ Until I entered God's sanctuary, and considered their latter end.
web@Psalms:73:18 @ Surely you set them in slippery places. You throw them down to destruction.
web@Psalms:73:19 @ How they are suddenly destroyed! They are completely swept away with terrors.
web@Psalms:73:20 @ As a dream when one wakes up, so, Lord, {The word translated "Lord" is "Adonai."} when you awake, you will despise their fantasies.
web@Psalms:73:21 @ For my soul was grieved. I was embittered in my heart.
web@Psalms:73:22 @ I was so senseless and ignorant. I was a brute beast before you.
web@Psalms:73:23 @ Nevertheless, I am continually with you. You have held my right hand.
web@Psalms:73:24 @ You will guide me with your counsel, and afterward receive me to glory.
web@Psalms:73:25 @ Whom do I have in heaven? There is no one on earth whom I desire besides you.
web@Psalms:73:26 @ My flesh and my heart fails, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
web@Psalms:73:27 @ For, behold, those who are far from you shall perish. You have destroyed all those who are unfaithful to you.
web@Psalms:73:28 @ But it is good for me to come close to God. I have made the Lord Yahweh {"Yahweh" is God's proper Name, sometimes rendered "LORD" (all caps) in other translations.} my refuge, that I may tell of all your works.
web@Psalms:74:1 @ A contemplation by Asaph. God, why have you rejected us forever? Why does your anger smolder against the sheep of your pasture?
web@Psalms:74:2 @ Remember your congregation, which you purchased of old, which you have redeemed to be the tribe of your inheritance; Mount Zion, in which you have lived.
web@Psalms:74:3 @ Lift up your feet to the perpetual ruins, all the evil that the enemy has done in the sanctuary.
web@Psalms:74:4 @ Your adversaries have roared in the midst of your assembly. They have set up their standards as signs.
web@Psalms:74:5 @ They behaved like men wielding axes, cutting through a thicket of trees.
web@Psalms:74:6 @ Now they break all its carved work down with hatchet and hammers.
web@Psalms:74:7 @ They have burned your sanctuary to the ground. They have profaned the dwelling place of your Name.
web@Psalms:74:8 @ They said in their heart, "We will crush them completely." They have burned up all the places in the land where God was worshiped.
web@Psalms:74:9 @ We see no miraculous signs. There is no longer any prophet, neither is there among us anyone who knows how long.
web@Psalms:74:10 @ How long, God, shall the adversary reproach? Shall the enemy blaspheme your name forever?
web@Psalms:74:11 @ Why do you draw back your hand, even your right hand? Take it out of your pocket and consume them!
web@Psalms:74:12 @ Yet God is my King of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth.
web@Psalms:74:13 @ You divided the sea by your strength. You broke the heads of the sea monsters in the waters.
web@Psalms:74:14 @ You broke the heads of Leviathan in pieces. You gave him as food to people and desert creatures.
web@Psalms:74:15 @ You opened up spring and stream. You dried up mighty rivers.
web@Psalms:74:16 @ The day is yours, the night is also yours. You have prepared the light and the sun.
web@Psalms:74:17 @ You have set all the boundaries of the earth. You have made summer and winter.
web@Psalms:74:18 @ Remember this, that the enemy has mocked you, Yahweh. Foolish people have blasphemed your name.
web@Psalms:74:19 @ Don't deliver the soul of your dove to wild beasts. Don't forget the life of your poor forever.
web@Psalms:74:20 @ Honor your covenant, for haunts of violence fill the dark places of the earth.
web@Psalms:74:21 @ Don't let the oppressed return ashamed. Let the poor and needy praise your name.
web@Psalms:74:22 @ Arise, God! Plead your own cause. Remember how the foolish man mocks you all day.
web@Psalms:74:23 @ Don't forget the voice of your adversaries. The tumult of those who rise up against you ascends continually.
web@Psalms:75:1 @ 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.
web@Psalms:75:2 @ When I choose the appointed time, I will judge blamelessly.
web@Psalms:75:3 @ The earth and all its inhabitants quake. I firmly hold its pillars. Selah.
web@Psalms:75:4 @ I said to the arrogant, "Don't boast!" I said to the wicked, "Don't lift up the horn.
web@Psalms:75:5 @ Don't lift up your horn on high. Don't speak with a stiff neck."
web@Psalms:75:6 @ For neither from the east, nor from the west, nor yet from the south, comes exaltation.
web@Psalms:75:7 @ But God is the judge. He puts down one, and lifts up another.
web@Psalms:75:8 @ 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.
web@Psalms:75:9 @ But I will declare this forever: I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
web@Psalms:75:10 @ I will cut off all the horns of the wicked, but the horns of the righteous shall be lifted up.
web@Psalms:76:1 @ For the Chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A Psalm by Asaph. A song. In Judah, God is known. His name is great in Israel.
web@Psalms:76:2 @ His tabernacle is also in Salem; His dwelling place in Zion.
web@Psalms:76:3 @ There he broke the flaming arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the weapons of war. Selah.
web@Psalms:76:4 @ Glorious are you, and excellent, more than mountains of game.
web@Psalms:76:5 @ Valiant men lie plundered, they have slept their last sleep. None of the men of war can lift their hands.
web@Psalms:76:6 @ At your rebuke, God of Jacob, both chariot and horse are cast into a deep sleep.
web@Psalms:76:7 @ You, even you, are to be feared. Who can stand in your sight when you are angry?
web@Psalms:76:8 @ You pronounced judgment from heaven. The earth feared, and was silent,
web@Psalms:76:9 @ when God arose to judgment, to save all the afflicted ones of the earth. Selah.
web@Psalms:76:10 @ Surely the wrath of man praises you. The survivors of your wrath are restrained.
web@Psalms:76:11 @ Make vows to Yahweh your God, and fulfill them! Let all of his neighbors bring presents to him who is to be feared.
web@Psalms:76:12 @ He will cut off the spirit of princes. He is feared by the kings of the earth.
web@Psalms:77:1 @ For the Chief Musician. To Jeduthun. A Psalm by Asaph. My cry goes to God! Indeed, I cry to God for help, and for him to listen to me.
web@Psalms:77:2 @ In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord. My hand was stretched out in the night, and didn't get tired. My soul refused to be comforted.
web@Psalms:77:3 @ I remember God, and I groan. I complain, and my spirit is overwhelmed. Selah.
web@Psalms:77:4 @ You hold my eyelids open. I am so troubled that I can't speak.
web@Psalms:77:5 @ I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times.
web@Psalms:77:6 @ I remember my song in the night. I consider in my own heart; my spirit diligently inquires:
web@Psalms:77:7 @ "Will the Lord reject us forever? Will he be favorable no more?
web@Psalms:77:8 @ Has his loving kindness vanished forever? Does his promise fail for generations?
web@Psalms:77:9 @ Has God forgotten to be gracious? Has he, in anger, withheld his compassion?" Selah.
web@Psalms:77:10 @ Then I thought, "I will appeal to this: the years of the right hand of the Most High."
web@Psalms:77:11 @ I will remember Yah's deeds; for I will remember your wonders of old.
web@Psalms:77:12 @ I will also meditate on all your work, and consider your doings.
web@Psalms:77:13 @ Your way, God, is in the sanctuary. What god is great like God?
web@Psalms:77:14 @ You are the God who does wonders. You have made your strength known among the peoples.
web@Psalms:77:15 @ You have redeemed your people with your arm, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.
web@Psalms:77:16 @ The waters saw you, God. The waters saw you, and they writhed. The depths also convulsed.
web@Psalms:77:17 @ The clouds poured out water. The skies resounded with thunder. Your arrows also flashed around.
web@Psalms:77:18 @ The voice of your thunder was in the whirlwind. The lightnings lit up the world. The earth trembled and shook.
web@Psalms:77:19 @ Your way was through the sea; your paths through the great waters. Your footsteps were not known.
web@Psalms:77:20 @ You led your people like a flock, by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
web@Psalms:78:1 @ A contemplation by Asaph. Hear my teaching, my people. Turn your ears to the words of my mouth.
web@Psalms:78:2 @ I will open my mouth in a parable. I will utter dark sayings of old,
web@Psalms:78:3 @ Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us.
web@Psalms:78:4 @ We will not hide them from their children, telling to the generation to come the praises of Yahweh, his strength, and his wondrous works that he has done.
web@Psalms:78:5 @ For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a teaching in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children;
web@Psalms:78:6 @ that the generation to come might know, even the children who should be born; who should arise and tell their children,
web@Psalms:78:7 @ that they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments,
web@Psalms:78:8 @ and might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation, a generation that didn't make their hearts loyal, whose spirit was not steadfast with God.
web@Psalms:78:9 @ The children of Ephraim, being armed and carrying bows, turned back in the day of battle.
web@Psalms:78:10 @ They didn't keep God's covenant, and refused to walk in his law.
web@Psalms:78:11 @ They forgot his doings, his wondrous works that he had shown them.
web@Psalms:78:12 @ He did marvelous things in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.
web@Psalms:78:13 @ He split the sea, and caused them to pass through. He made the waters stand as a heap.
web@Psalms:78:14 @ In the daytime he also led them with a cloud, and all night with a light of fire.
web@Psalms:78:15 @ He split rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink abundantly as out of the depths.
web@Psalms:78:16 @ He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers.
web@Psalms:78:17 @ Yet they still went on to sin against him, to rebel against the Most High in the desert.
web@Psalms:78:18 @ They tempted God in their heart by asking food according to their desire.
web@Psalms:78:19 @ Yes, they spoke against God. They said, "Can God prepare a table in the wilderness?
web@Psalms:78:20 @ Behold, he struck the rock, so that waters gushed out, and streams overflowed. Can he give bread also? Will he provide flesh for his people?"
web@Psalms:78:21 @ Therefore Yahweh heard, and was angry. A fire was kindled against Jacob, anger also went up against Israel,
web@Psalms:78:22 @ because they didn't believe in God, and didn't trust in his salvation.
web@Psalms:78:23 @ Yet he commanded the skies above, and opened the doors of heaven.
web@Psalms:78:24 @ He rained down manna on them to eat, and gave them food from the sky.
web@Psalms:78:25 @ Man ate the bread of angels. He sent them food to the full.
web@Psalms:78:26 @ He caused the east wind to blow in the sky. By his power he guided the south wind.
web@Psalms:78:27 @ He rained also flesh on them as the dust; winged birds as the sand of the seas.
web@Psalms:78:28 @ He let them fall in the midst of their camp, around their habitations.
web@Psalms:78:29 @ So they ate, and were well filled. He gave them their own desire.
web@Psalms:78:30 @ They didn't turn from their cravings. Their food was yet in their mouths,
web@Psalms:78:31 @ when the anger of God went up against them, killed some of their fattest, and struck down the young men of Israel.
web@Psalms:78:32 @ For all this they still sinned, and didn't believe in his wondrous works.
web@Psalms:78:33 @ Therefore he consumed their days in vanity, and their years in terror.
web@Psalms:78:34 @ When he killed them, then they inquired after him. They returned and sought God earnestly.
web@Psalms:78:35 @ They remembered that God was their rock, the Most High God, their redeemer.
web@Psalms:78:36 @ But they flattered him with their mouth, and lied to him with their tongue.
web@Psalms:78:37 @ For their heart was not right with him, neither were they faithful in his covenant.
web@Psalms:78:38 @ But he, being merciful, forgave iniquity, and didn't destroy them. Yes, many times he turned his anger away, and didn't stir up all his wrath.
web@Psalms:78:39 @ He remembered that they were but flesh, a wind that passes away, and doesn't come again.
web@Psalms:78:40 @ How often they rebelled against him in the wilderness, and grieved him in the desert!
web@Psalms:78:41 @ They turned again and tempted God, and provoked the Holy One of Israel.
web@Psalms:78:42 @ They didn't remember his hand, nor the day when he redeemed them from the adversary;
web@Psalms:78:43 @ how he set his signs in Egypt, his wonders in the field of Zoan,
web@Psalms:78:44 @ he turned their rivers into blood, and their streams, so that they could not drink.
web@Psalms:78:45 @ He sent among them swarms of flies, which devoured them; and frogs, which destroyed them.
web@Psalms:78:46 @ He gave also their increase to the caterpillar, and their labor to the locust.
web@Psalms:78:47 @ He destroyed their vines with hail, their sycamore fig trees with frost.
web@Psalms:78:48 @ He gave over their livestock also to the hail, and their flocks to hot thunderbolts.
web@Psalms:78:49 @ He threw on them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, indignation, and trouble, and a band of angels of evil.
web@Psalms:78:50 @ He made a path for his anger. He didn't spare their soul from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence,
web@Psalms:78:51 @ and struck all the firstborn in Egypt, the chief of their strength in the tents of Ham.
web@Psalms:78:52 @ But he led forth his own people like sheep, and guided them in the wilderness like a flock.
web@Psalms:78:53 @ He led them safely, so that they weren't afraid, but the sea overwhelmed their enemies.
web@Psalms:78:54 @ He brought them to the border of his sanctuary, to this mountain, which his right hand had taken.
web@Psalms:78:55 @ He also drove out the nations before them, allotted them for an inheritance by line, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents.
web@Psalms:78:56 @ Yet they tempted and rebelled against the Most High God, and didn't keep his testimonies;
web@Psalms:78:57 @ but turned back, and dealt treacherously like their fathers. They were turned aside like a deceitful bow.
web@Psalms:78:58 @ For they provoked him to anger with their high places, and moved him to jealousy with their engraved images.
web@Psalms:78:59 @ When God heard this, he was angry, and greatly abhorred Israel;
web@Psalms:78:60 @ So that he forsook the tent of Shiloh, the tent which he placed among men;
web@Psalms:78:61 @ and delivered his strength into captivity, his glory into the adversary's hand.
web@Psalms:78:62 @ He also gave his people over to the sword, and was angry with his inheritance.
web@Psalms:78:63 @ Fire devoured their young men. Their virgins had no wedding song.
web@Psalms:78:64 @ Their priests fell by the sword, and their widows couldn't weep.
web@Psalms:78:65 @ Then the Lord awakened as one out of sleep, like a mighty man who shouts by reason of wine.
web@Psalms:78:66 @ He struck his adversaries backward. He put them to a perpetual reproach.
web@Psalms:78:67 @ Moreover he rejected the tent of Joseph, and didn't choose the tribe of Ephraim,
web@Psalms:78:68 @ But chose the tribe of Judah, Mount Zion which he loved.
web@Psalms:78:69 @ He built his sanctuary like the heights, like the earth which he has established forever.
web@Psalms:78:70 @ He also chose David his servant, and took him from the sheepfolds;
web@Psalms:78:71 @ from following the ewes that have their young, he brought him to be the shepherd of Jacob, his people, and Israel, his inheritance.
web@Psalms:78:72 @ So he was their shepherd according to the integrity of his heart, and guided them by the skillfulness of his hands.
web@Psalms:79:1 @ A Psalm by Asaph. God, the nations have come into your inheritance. They have defiled your holy temple. They have laid Jerusalem in heaps.
web@Psalms:79:2 @ They have given the dead bodies of your servants to be food for the birds of the sky, the flesh of your saints to the animals of the earth.
web@Psalms:79:3 @ Their blood they have shed like water around Jerusalem. There was no one to bury them.
web@Psalms:79:4 @ We have become a reproach to our neighbors, a scoffing and derision to those who are around us.
web@Psalms:79:5 @ How long, Yahweh? Will you be angry forever? Will your jealousy burn like fire?
web@Psalms:79:6 @ Pour out your wrath on the nations that don't know you; on the kingdoms that don't call on your name;
web@Psalms:79:7 @ For they have devoured Jacob, and destroyed his homeland.
web@Psalms:79:8 @ Don't hold the iniquities of our forefathers against us. Let your tender mercies speedily meet us, for we are in desperate need.
web@Psalms:79:9 @ Help us, God of our salvation, for the glory of your name. Deliver us, and forgive our sins, for your name's sake.
web@Psalms:79:10 @ Why should the nations say, "Where is their God?" Let it be known among the nations, before our eyes, that vengeance for your servants' blood is being poured out.
web@Psalms:79:11 @ Let the sighing of the prisoner come before you. According to the greatness of your power, preserve those who are sentenced to death.
web@Psalms:79:12 @ Pay back to our neighbors seven times into their bosom their reproach with which they have reproached you, Lord.
web@Psalms:79:13 @ So we, your people and sheep of your pasture, will give you thanks forever. We will praise you forever, to all generations.
web@Psalms:80:1 @ For the Chief Musician. To the tune of "The Lilies of the Covenant." A Psalm by Asaph. Hear us, Shepherd of Israel, you who lead Joseph like a flock, you who sit above the cherubim, shine forth.
web@Psalms:80:2 @ Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh, stir up your might! Come to save us!
web@Psalms:80:3 @ Turn us again, God. Cause your face to shine, and we will be saved.
web@Psalms:80:4 @ Yahweh God of Armies, How long will you be angry against the prayer of your people?
web@Psalms:80:5 @ You have fed them with the bread of tears, and given them tears to drink in large measure.
web@Psalms:80:6 @ You make us a source of contention to our neighbors. Our enemies laugh among themselves.
web@Psalms:80:7 @ Turn us again, God of Armies. Cause your face to shine, and we will be saved.
web@Psalms:80:8 @ You brought a vine out of Egypt. You drove out the nations, and planted it.
web@Psalms:80:9 @ You cleared the ground for it. It took deep root, and filled the land.
web@Psalms:80:10 @ The mountains were covered with its shadow. Its boughs were like God's cedars.
web@Psalms:80:11 @ It sent out its branches to the sea, Its shoots to the River.
web@Psalms:80:12 @ Why have you broken down its walls, so that all those who pass by the way pluck it?
web@Psalms:80:13 @ The boar out of the wood ravages it. The wild animals of the field feed on it.
web@Psalms:80:14 @ Turn again, we beg you, God of Armies. Look down from heaven, and see, and visit this vine,
web@Psalms:80:15 @ the stock which your right hand planted, the branch that you made strong for yourself.
web@Psalms:80:16 @ It's burned with fire. It's cut down. They perish at your rebuke.
web@Psalms:80:17 @ Let your hand be on the man of your right hand, on the son of man whom you made strong for yourself.
web@Psalms:80:18 @ So we will not turn away from you. Revive us, and we will call on your name.
web@Psalms:80:19 @ Turn us again, Yahweh God of Armies. Cause your face to shine, and we will be saved.
web@Psalms:81:1 @ For the Chief Musician. On an instrument of Gath. By Asaph. Sing aloud to God, our strength! Make a joyful shout to the God of Jacob!
web@Psalms:81:2 @ Raise a song, and bring here the tambourine, the pleasant lyre with the harp.
web@Psalms:81:3 @ Blow the trumpet at the New Moon, at the full moon, on our feast day.
web@Psalms:81:4 @ For it is a statute for Israel, an ordinance of the God of Jacob.
web@Psalms:81:5 @ He appointed it in Joseph for a testimony, when he went out over the land of Egypt, I heard a language that I didn't know.
web@Psalms:81:6 @ "I removed his shoulder from the burden. His hands were freed from the basket.
web@Psalms:81:7 @ You called in trouble, and I delivered you. I answered you in the secret place of thunder. I tested you at the waters of Meribah." Selah.
web@Psalms:81:8 @ "Hear, my people, and I will testify to you, Israel, if you would listen to me!
web@Psalms:81:9 @ There shall be no strange god in you, neither shall you worship any foreign god.
web@Psalms:81:10 @ I am Yahweh, your God, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt. Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.
web@Psalms:81:11 @ But my people didn't listen to my voice. Israel desired none of me.
web@Psalms:81:12 @ So I let them go after the stubbornness of their hearts, that they might walk in their own counsels.
web@Psalms:81:13 @ Oh that my people would listen to me, that Israel would walk in my ways!
web@Psalms:81:14 @ I would soon subdue their enemies, and turn my hand against their adversaries.
web@Psalms:81:15 @ The haters of Yahweh would cringe before him, and their punishment would last forever.
web@Psalms:81:16 @ But he would have also fed them with the finest of the wheat. I will satisfy you with honey out of the rock."
web@Psalms:82:1 @ A Psalm by Asaph. God presides in the great assembly. He judges among the gods.
web@Psalms:82:2 @ "How long will you judge unjustly, and show partiality to the wicked?" Selah.
web@Psalms:82:3 @ "Defend the weak, the poor, and the fatherless. Maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed.
web@Psalms:82:4 @ Rescue the weak and needy. Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked."
web@Psalms:82:5 @ They don't know, neither do they understand. They walk back and forth in darkness. All the foundations of the earth are shaken.
web@Psalms:82:6 @ I said, "You are gods, all of you are sons of the Most High.
web@Psalms:82:7 @ Nevertheless you shall die like men, and fall like one of the rulers."
web@Psalms:82:8 @ Arise, God, judge the earth, for you inherit all of the nations.
web@Psalms:83:1 @ A song. A Psalm by Asaph. God, don't keep silent. Don't keep silent, and don't be still, God.
web@Psalms:83:2 @ For, behold, your enemies are stirred up. Those who hate you have lifted up their heads.
web@Psalms:83:3 @ They conspire with cunning against your people. They plot against your cherished ones.
web@Psalms:83:4 @ "Come," they say, "and let's destroy them as a nation, that the name of Israel may be remembered no more."
web@Psalms:83:5 @ For they have conspired together with one mind. They form an alliance against you.
web@Psalms:83:6 @ The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab, and the Hagrites;
web@Psalms:83:7 @ Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;
web@Psalms:83:8 @ Assyria also is joined with them. They have helped the children of Lot. Selah.
web@Psalms:83:9 @ Do to them as you did to Midian, as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the river Kishon;
web@Psalms:83:10 @ who perished at Endor, who became as dung for the earth.
web@Psalms:83:11 @ Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb; yes, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna;
web@Psalms:83:12 @ who said, "Let us take possession of God's pasturelands."
web@Psalms:83:13 @ My God, make them like tumbleweed; like chaff before the wind.
web@Psalms:83:14 @ As the fire that burns the forest, as the flame that sets the mountains on fire,
web@Psalms:83:15 @ so pursue them with your tempest, and terrify them with your storm.
web@Psalms:83:16 @ Fill their faces with confusion, that they may seek your name, Yahweh.
web@Psalms:83:17 @ Let them be disappointed and dismayed forever. Yes, let them be confounded and perish;
web@Psalms:83:18 @ that they may know that you alone, whose name is Yahweh, are the Most High over all the earth.
web@Psalms:84:1 @ For the Chief Musician. On an instrument of Gath. A Psalm by the sons of Korah. How lovely are your dwellings, Yahweh of Armies!
web@Psalms:84:2 @ My soul longs, and even faints for the courts of Yahweh. My heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.
web@Psalms:84:3 @ Yes, the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may have her young, near your altars, Yahweh of Armies, my King, and my God.
web@Psalms:84:4 @ Blessed are those who dwell in your house. They are always praising you. Selah.
web@Psalms:84:5 @ Blessed are those whose strength is in you; who have set their hearts on a pilgrimage.
web@Psalms:84:6 @ Passing through the valley of Weeping, they make it a place of springs. Yes, the autumn rain covers it with blessings.
web@Psalms:84:7 @ They go from strength to strength. Everyone of them appears before God in Zion.
web@Psalms:84:8 @ Yahweh, God of Armies, hear my prayer. Listen, God of Jacob. Selah.
web@Psalms:84:9 @ Behold, God our shield, look at the face of your anointed.
web@Psalms:84:10 @ For a day in your courts is better than a thousand. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.
web@Psalms:84:11 @ For Yahweh God is a sun and a shield. Yahweh will give grace and glory. He withholds no good thing from those who walk blamelessly.
web@Psalms:84:12 @ Yahweh of Armies, blessed is the man who trusts in you.
web@Psalms:85:1 @ For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by the sons of Korah. Yahweh, you have been favorable to your land. You have restored the fortunes of Jacob.
web@Psalms:85:2 @ You have forgiven the iniquity of your people. You have covered all their sin. Selah.
