And to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:
Lift not up your horn on high;

'Speak not with a stiff neck.

For neither from the east, nor from the west,
Nor yet 'from the 'south, cometh lifting up.
But God is the judge:

7

He putteth down one, and lifteth up another.
For in the hand of the LORD there is a cup, and 8
the wine 'foameth;

It is full of mixture, and he poureth out of the

same:

Surely the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the
earth shall wring them out, and drink them.
But I will declare for ever,

I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off;
But the horns of the righteous shall be lifted up.

In Judah is God known :

His name is great in Israel.

In Salem also is his "tabernacle,

And his 'dwelling place in Zion.

There he brake the arrows of the bow;

The shield, and the sword, and the battle. [Selah Glorious art thou and excellent, from the 4 mountains of prey.

The stouthearted are spoiled, they have slept 5 their sleep;

And none of the men of might have found their
hands.

And who may stand in thy sight when once thou
art angry ?

77

10 Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee :

The residue of wrath shalt thou 'gird upon thee. 1Or, restrain

11 Vow, and pay unto the LORD your God:

Let all that be round about him bring presents

unto him that ought to be feared.

12 He shall cut off the spirit of princes:

He is terrible to the kings of the earth.

For the Chief Musician; after the manner of
Jeduthun. A Psalm of Asaph.

I I will cry unto God with my voice;

Even unto God with my voice, and he will give

ear unto me.

2 In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord: My hand was stretched out in the night, and slacked not;

My soul refused to be comforted.

3 I remember God, and am disquieted :

2

I complain, and my spirit is overwhelmed. [Selah Or, fainteth

4 Thou holdest mine eyes watching:

I am so troubled that I cannot speak.

5 I have considered the days of old,

The years of ancient times.

6 I call to remembrance my song in the night:
I commune with mine own heart;
And my spirit made diligent search.

7 Will the Lord cast off for ever?
And will he be favourable no more?

8 Is his mercy clean gone for ever?
Doth his promise fail for evermore?

9 Hath God forgotten to be gracious?

Hath he in anger shut up his tender mer

cies?

[Selah

1 Or, That the right hand of the Most High doth change

2 Heb. Jah.

3 Or, in holiness

• Or, were in pain

And I said, This is my infirmity;

But I will remember the years of the right hand
of the Most High.

I will make mention of the deeds of the

LORD;

For I will remember thy wonders of old.
I will meditate also upon all thy work,
And muse on thy doings.

Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary:
Who is a great god like unto God?

Thou art the God that doest wonders:

Thou hast made known thy strength among the
peoples.

I 2

14

Thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy people, 15
The sons of Jacob and Joseph.

The waters saw thee, O God;

The waters saw thee, they were afraid :

The depths also trembled.

[Selah

16

The clouds poured out water;

17

The skies sent out a sound:

Thine arrows also went abroad.

The voice of thy thunder was in the whirlwind; 18
The lightnings lightened the world:
The earth trembled and shook.

Thy way was in the sea,

And thy paths in the great waters,*
And thy footsteps were not known.
Thou leddest thy people like a flock,
By the hand of Moses and Aaron.

Maschil of Asaph.

5 Or, teaching Give ear, O my people, to my "law:
Incline your ears to the words of my mouth.
I will open my mouth in a parable;

I will utter dark sayings of old:
Which we have heard and known,

3

And our fathers have told us.

We will not hide them from their children,

4

Telling to the generation to come the praises of the LORD,

And his strength, and his wondrous works that he hath done.

5 For he established a testimony in Jacob,

And appointed a law in Israel,

Which he commanded our fathers,

That they should make them known to their children :

6 That the generation to come might know them,
even the children which should be born;

Who should arise and tell them to their children:
7 That they might set their hope in God,
And not forget the works of God,
But keep his commandments:

8 And might not be as their fathers,

9

A stubborn and rebellious generation;

A generation 'that set not their heart aright,
And whose spirit was not stedfast with God.

The children of Ephraim, being armed and
carrying bows,

Turned back in the day of battle.

10 They kept not the covenant of God,

And refused to walk in his law;

11 And they forgat his doings,

And his wondrous works that he had shewed them.

12 Marvellous things did he in the sight of their fathers,

In the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.

13 He clave the sea, and caused them to pass through;

And he made the waters to stand as an heap. 14 In the day-time also he led them with a cloud, And all the night with a light of fire.

15 He clave rocks in the wilderness,

And gave them drink abundantly as out of the depths.

1 Or, that prepared not their heart

1 Or, a dry land

16

17

18

He brought streams also out of the rock,
And caused waters to run down like rivers.
Yet went they on still to sin against him,
To rebel against the Most High in 'the desert.
And they tempted God in their heart
By asking meat for their lust.

Yea, they spake against God;

They said, Can God prepare a table in the wilderness?

19

Behold, he smote the rock, that waters gushed 20

out,

And streams overflowed;

Can he give bread also?

Will he provide flesh for his people?

Therefore the LORD heard, and was wroth:
And a fire was kindled against Jacob,
And anger also went up against Israel;
Because they believed not in God,
And trusted not in his salvation.

21

22

Yet he commanded the skies above,

23

And opened the doors of heaven;

And he rained down manna upon them to eat,

24

And gave them of the corn of heaven.

2 Or, Every

one

2 Heb. led

forth the east wind.

2 Man did eat the bread of the mighty:

He sent them meat to the full.

3

25

27

28

He caused the east wind to blow in the heaven: 26
And by his power he guided the south wind.
He rained flesh also upon them as the dust,
And winged fowl as the sand of the seas:
And he let it fall in the midst of their camp,
Round about their habitations.
So they did eat, and were well filled;
And he gave them that they lusted after.
They were not estranged from their lust,
Their meat was yet in their mouths,

29

30

When the anger of God went up against them, 31
And slew of the fattest of them,

And smote down the young men of Israel.
