Page 341 Psalms {61:6} Thou wilt prolong the king’s life: [and] his years as many generations. {61:7} He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare mercy and truth, [which] may preserve him. {61:8} So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows. Psalm 62 To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun, A Psalm of David. {62:1} Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him [cometh] my salvation. {62:2} He only [is] my rock and my salvation; [he is] my defence; I shall not be greatly moved. {62:3} How long will ye imagine mischief against a man? ye shall be slain all of you: as a bowing wall [shall ye be, and as] a tottering fence. {62:4} They only consult to cast [him] down from his excellency: they delight in lies: they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah. {62:5} My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation [is] from him. {62:6} He only [is] my rock and my salvation: [he is] my defence; I shall not be moved. {62:7} In God [is] my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, [and] my refuge, [is] in God. {62:8} Trust in him at all times; [ye] people, pour out your heart before him: God [is] a refuge for us. Selah. {62:9} Surely men of low degree [are] vanity, [and] men of high degree [are] a lie: to be laid in the balance, they [are] altogether [lighter] than vanity. {62:10} Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery: if riches increase, set not your heart [upon them. ]{62:11} God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power [belongeth] unto God. {62:12} Also unto thee, O Lord, [belongeth] mercy: for thou renderest to every man according to his work. Psalm 63 A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah. {63:1} O God, thou [art] my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is; {63:2} To see thy power and thy glory, so [as] I have seen thee in the sanctuary. {63:3} Because thy lovingkindness [is] better than life, my lips shall praise thee. {63:4} Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name. {63:5} My soul shall be satisfied as [with] marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise [thee] with joyful lips: {63:6} When I remember thee upon my bed, [and] meditate on thee in the [night] watches. {63:7} Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice. {63:8} My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me. {63:9} But those [that] seek my soul, to destroy [it,] shall go into the lower parts of the earth. {63:10} They shall fall by the sword: they shall be a portion for foxes. {63:11} But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by him shall glory: but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped. Psalm 64 Psalms To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. {64:1} Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy. {64:2} Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity: {64:3} Who whet their tongue like a sword, [and] bend [their bows to shoot] their arrows, [even] bitter words: {64:4} That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not. {64:5} They encourage themselves [in] an evil matter: they commune of laying snares privily; they say, Who shall see them? {64:6} They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward [thought] of every one [of them,] and the heart, [is] deep. {64:7} But God shall shoot at them [with] an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded. {64:8} So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: all that see them shall flee away. {64:9} And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider of his doing. {64:10} The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory. Psalm 65 To the chief Musician, A Psalm [and] Song of David. {65:1} Praise waiteth for thee, O God, in Sion: and unto thee shall the vow be performed. {65:2} O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come. {65:3} Iniquities prevail against me: [as for] our transgressions, thou shalt purge them away. {65:4} Blessed [is the man whom] thou choosest, and causest to approach [unto thee, that] he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, [even] of thy holy temple. {65:5} By terrible things in righteousness wilt thou answer us, O God of our salvation; [who art] the confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of them that are afar off [upon] the sea: {65:6} Which by his strength setteth fast the mountains; [being] girded with power: {65:7} Which stilleth the noise of the seas, the noise of their waves, and the tumult of the people. {65:8} They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at thy tokens: thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice. {65:9} Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it: thou greatly enrichest it with the river of God, [which] is full of water: thou preparest them corn, when thou hast so provided for it. {65:10} Thou waterest the ridges thereof abundantly: thou settlest the furrows thereof: thou makest it soft with showers: thou blessest the springing thereof. {65:11} Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; and thy paths drop fatness. {65:12} They drop [upon] the pastures of the wilderness: and the little hills rejoice on every side. {65:13} The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing. Psalm 66 To the chief Musician, A Song [or] Psalm. {66:1} Make a joyful noise unto God, all ye lands: {66:2} Sing forth the honour of his name: make his praise glorious. {66:3} Say unto God, How terrible [art thou in] thy works! through the Page 342 Page 343 Psalms greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves unto thee. {66:4} All the earth shall worship thee, and shall sing unto thee; they shall sing [to] thy name. Selah. {66:5} Come and see the works of God: [he is] terrible [in his] doing toward the children of men. {66:6} He turned the sea into dry [land:] they went through the flood on foot: there did we rejoice in him. {66:7} He ruleth by his power for ever; his eyes behold the nations: let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah. {66:8} O bless our God, ye people, and make the voice of his praise to be heard: {66:9} Which holdeth our soul in life, and suffereth not our feet to be moved. {66:10} For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us, as silver is tried. {66:11} Thou broughtest us into the net; thou laidst affliction upon our loins. {66:12} Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water: but thou broughtest us out into a wealthy [place. ]{66:13} I will go into thy house with burnt offerings: I will pay thee my vows, {66:14} Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when I was in trouble. {66:15} I will offer unto thee burnt sacrifices of fatlings, with the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. Selah. {66:16} Come [and] hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he hath done for my soul. {66:17} I cried unto him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my tongue. {66:18} If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear [me: ]{66:19} [But] verily God hath heard [me;] he hath attended to the voice of my prayer. {66:20} Blessed [be] God, which hath not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me. Psalm 67 To the chief Musician on Neginoth, A Psalm [or] Song. {67:1} God be merciful unto us, and bless us; [and] cause his face to shine upon us; Selah. {67:2} That thy way may be known upon earth, thy saving health among all nations. {67:3} Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee. {67:4} O let the nations be glad and sing for joy: for thou shalt judge the people righteously, and govern the nations upon earth.

Psalm 68 To the chief Musician, A Psalm [or] Song of David. {68:1} Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered: let them also that hate him flee before him. {68:2} As smoke is driven away, [so] drive [them] away: as wax melteth before the fire, [so] let the wicked perish at the presence of God. {68:3} But let the righteous be glad; let them rejoice before God: yea, let them exceedingly rejoice. {68:4} Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth Psalms upon the heavens by his name JAH, and rejoice before him. {68:5} A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, [is] God in his holy habitation. {68:6} God setteth the solitary in families: he bringeth out those which are bound with chains: but the rebellious dwell in a dry [land. ]{68:7} O God, when thou wentest forth before thy people, when thou didst march through the wilderness; Selah: {68:8} The earth shook, the heavens also dropped at the presence of God: [even] Sinai itself [was moved] at the presence of God, the God of Israel. {68:9} Thou, O God, didst send a plentiful rain, whereby thou didst confirm thine inheritance, when it was weary. {68:10} Thy congregation hath dwelt therein: thou, O God, hast prepared of thy goodness for the poor. {68:11} The Lord gave the word: great [was] the company of those that published [it. ]{68:12} Kings of armies did flee apace: and she that tarried at home divided the spoil. {68:13} Though ye have lien among the pots, [yet shall ye be as] the wings of a dove covered with silver, and her feathers with yellow gold. {68:14} When the Almighty scattered kings in it, it was [white] as snow in Salmon. {68:15} The hill of God [is as] the hill of Bashan; an high hill [as] the hill of Bashan. {68:16} Why leap ye, ye high hills? [this is] the hill [which] God desireth to dwell in; yea, the LORD will dwell [in it] for ever. {68:17} The chariots of God [are] twenty thousand, [even] thousands of angels: the Lord [is] among them, [as in] Sinai, in the holy [place. ]{68:18} Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive: thou hast received gifts for men; yea, [for] the rebellious also, that the LORD God might dwell [among them. ]{68:19} Blessed [be] the Lord, [who] daily loadeth us [with benefits, even] the God of our salvation. Selah. {68:20} [He that is] our God [is] the God of salvation; and unto God the Lord [belong] the issues from death. {68:21} But God shall wound the head of his enemies, [and] the hairy scalp of such an one as goeth on still in his trespasses. {68:22} The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will bring [my people] again from the depths of the sea: {68:23} That thy foot may be dipped in the blood of [thine] enemies, [and] the tongue of thy dogs in the same. {68:24} They have seen thy goings, O God; [even] the goings of my God, my King, in the sanctuary. {68:25} The singers went before, the players on instruments [followed] after; among [them were] the damsels playing with timbrels. {68:26} Bless ye God in the congregations, [even] the Lord, from the fountain of Israel. {68:27} There [is] little Benjamin [with] their ruler, the princes of Judah [and] their council, the princes of Zebulun, [and] the princes of Naphtali. {68:28} Thy God hath commanded thy strength: strengthen, O God, that which thou hast wrought for us. {68:29} Because of thy temple at Jerusalem shall kings bring presents unto thee. {68:30} Rebuke the company of spearmen, the multitude of the bulls, with the calves of the people, [till every one] submit himself with pieces of silver: scatter thou the people [that] delight in war. {68:31} Princes shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall soon stretch out her hands unto God. {68:32} Sing unto God, ye kingdoms of the earth; O sing praises unto the Lord; Selah: {68:33} To him that rideth upon the heavens of heavens, [which were] of old; lo, he doth send out his voice, [and that] a mighty voice. {68:34} Ascribe ye strength unto God: his excellency [is] over Israel, and his strength [is] in the clouds.

Psalm 69 To chief Musician upon Shoshannim, A [Psalm] of David. {69:1} Save me, O God; for the waters are come in unto [my] soul. {69:2} I sink in deep mire, where [there is] no standing: I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me. {69:3} I am weary of my crying: my throat is dried: mine eyes fail while I wait for my God. {69:4} They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of mine head: they that would destroy me, [being] mine enemies wrongfully, are mighty: then I restored [that] which I took not away. {69:5} O God, thou knowest my foolishness; and my sins are not hid from thee. {69:6} Let not them that wait on thee, O Lord GOD of hosts, be ashamed for my sake: let not those that seek thee be confounded for my sake, O God of Israel. {69:7} Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; shame hath covered my face. {69:8} I am become a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien unto my mother’s children. {69:9} For the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me. {69:10} When I wept, [and chastened] my soul with fasting, that was to my reproach. {69:11} I made sackcloth also my garment; and I became a proverb to them. {69:12} They that sit in the gate speak against me; and I [was] the song of the drunkards. {69:13} But as for me, my prayer [is] unto thee, O LORD, [in] an acceptable time: O God, in the multitude of thy mercy hear me, in the truth of thy salvation. {69:14} Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink: let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters. {69:15} Let not the waterflood overflow me, neither let the deep swallow me up, and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me. {69:16} Hear me, O LORD; for thy lovingkindness [is] good: turn unto me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies. {69:17} And hide not thy face from thy servant; for I am in trouble: hear me speedily. {69:18} Draw nigh unto my soul, [and] redeem it: deliver me because of mine enemies. {69:19} Thou hast known my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonour: mine adversaries [are] all before thee. {69:20} Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am full of heaviness: and I looked [for some] to take pity, but [there was] none; and for comforters, but I found none. {69:21} They gave me also gall for my meat; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink. {69:22} Let their table become a snare before them: and [that which should have been] for [their] welfare, [let it become] a trap. {69:23} Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; and make their loins continually to shake. {69:24} Pour out thine indignation upon them, and let thy wrathful anger take hold of them. {69:25} Let their habitation be desolate; [and] let none dwell in their tents. {69:26} For they persecute [him] whom thou hast smitten; and they talk to the grief of those whom thou hast wounded. {69:27} Add iniquity unto their iniquity: and let them not come into thy righteousness. {69:28} Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous. Psalms {69:29} But I [am] poor and sorrowful: let thy salvation, O God, set me up on high. {69:30} I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving. {69:31} [This] also shall please the LORD better than an ox [or] bullock that hath horns and hoofs. {69:32} The humble shall see [this, and] be glad: and your heart shall live that seek God. {69:33} For the LORD heareth the poor, and despiseth not his prisoners. {69:34} Let the heaven and earth praise him, the seas, and every thing that moveth therein. {69:35} For God will save Zion, and will build the cities of Judah: that they may dwell there, and have it in possession. {69:36} The seed also of his servants shall inherit it: and they that love his name shall dwell therein. Psalm 70 To the chief Musician, A [Psalm] of David, to bring to remembrance. {70:1} [Make haste,] O God, to deliver me; make haste to help me, O LORD. {70:2} Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek after my soul: let them be turned backward, and put to confusion, that desire my hurt. {70:3} Let them be turned back for a reward of their shame that say, Aha, aha. {70:4} Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: and let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified. {70:5} But I [am] poor and needy: make haste unto me, O God: thou [art] my help and my deliverer; O LORD, make no tarrying.

Psalm 72 A [Psalm] for Solomon. {72:1} Give the king thy judgments, O God, and thy righteousness unto the king’s son. {72:2} He shall judge thy people with righteousness, and thy poor with judgment. {72:3} The mountains shall bring peace to the people, and the little hills, by righteousness. {72:4} He shall judge the poor of the people, he shall save the children of the needy, and shall break in pieces the oppressor. {72:5} They shall fear thee as long as the sun and moon endure, throughout all generations. {72:6} He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass: as showers [that] water the earth. {72:7} In his days shall the righteous flourish; and abundance of peace so long as the moon endureth. {72:8} He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth. {72:9} They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him; and his enemies shall lick the dust. {72:10} The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring presents: the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts. {72:11} Yea, all kings shall fall down before him: all nations shall serve him. {72:12} For he shall deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor also, and [him] that hath no helper. {72:13} He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall save the souls of the needy. {72:14} He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence: and precious shall their blood be in his sight. {72:15} And he shall live, and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba: prayer also shall be made for him continually; [and] daily shall he be praised. {72:16} There shall be an handful of corn in the earth upon the top of the mountains; the fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon: and [they] of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth. {72:17} His name shall endure for ever: his name shall be continued as long as the sun: and [men] shall be blessed in him: all nations shall call him blessed. {72:18} Blessed [be] the LORD God, the God of Israel, who only doeth wondrous things. {72:19} And blessed [be] his glorious name for ever: and let the whole earth be filled [with] his glory; Amen, and Amen. {72:20} The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended. Psalms Psalm 73 Book III A Psalm of Asaph. {73:1} Truly God [is] good to Israel, [even] to such as are of a clean heart. {73:2} But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped. {73:3} For I was envious at the foolish, [when] I saw the prosperity of the wicked. {73:4} For [there are] no bands in their death: but their strength [is] firm. {73:5} They [are] not in trouble [as other] men; neither are they plagued like [other] men. {73:6} Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain; violence covereth them [as] a garment. {73:7} Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than heart could wish. {73:8} They are corrupt, and speak wickedly [concerning] oppression: they speak loftily. {73:9} They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue walketh through the earth. {73:10} Therefore his people return hither: and waters of a full [cup] are wrung out to them. {73:11} And they say, How doth God know? and is there knowledge in the most High? {73:12} Behold, these [are] the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase [in] riches. {73:13} Verily I have cleansed my heart [in] vain, and washed my hands in innocency. {73:14} For all the day long have I been plagued, and chastened every morning. {73:15} If I say, I will speak thus; behold, I should offend [against] the generation of thy children. {73:16} When I thought to know this, it [was] too painful for me; {73:17} Until I went into the sanctuary of God; [then] understood I their end. {73:18} Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou castedst them down into destruction. {73:19} How are they [brought] into desolation, as in a moment! they are utterly consumed with terrors. {73:20} As a dream when [one] awaketh; [so,] O Lord, when thou awakest, thou shalt despise their image. {73:21} Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins. {73:22} So foolish [was] I, and ignorant: I was [as] a beast before thee. {73:23} Nevertheless I [am] continually with thee: thou hast holden [me] by my right hand. {73:24} Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me [to] glory. {73:25} Whom have I in heaven [but thee?] and [there is] none upon earth [that] I desire beside thee. {73:26} My flesh and my heart faileth: [but] God [is] the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever. {73:27} For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: thou hast destroyed all them that go a whoring from thee. {73:28} But [it is] good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all thy works. Psalm 74 Maschil of Asaph. {74:1} O God, why hast thou cast us off for ever? [why] doth thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture? {74:2} Remember thy congregation, [which] thou hast purchased of old; Page 348 Page 349 Psalms the rod of thine inheritance, [which] thou hast redeemed; this mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt. {74:3} Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual desolations; [even] all [that] the enemy hath done wickedly in the sanctuary. {74:4} Thine enemies roar in the midst of thy congregations; they set up their ensigns [for] signs. {74:5} [A man] was famous according as he had lifted up axes upon the thick trees. {74:6} But now they break down the carved work thereof at once with axes and hammers. {74:7} They have cast fire into thy sanctuary, they have defiled [by casting down] the dwelling place of thy name to the ground. {74:8} They said in their hearts, Let us destroy them together: they have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land. {74:9} We see not our signs: [there is] no more any prophet: neither [is there] among us any that knoweth how long. {74:10} O God, how long shall the adversary reproach? shall the enemy blaspheme thy name for ever? {74:11} Why withdrawest thou thy hand, even thy right hand? pluck [it] out of thy bosom. {74:12} For God [is] my King of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth. {74:13} Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength: thou brakest the heads of the dragons in the waters. {74:14} Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces, [and] gavest him [to be] meat to the people inhabiting the wilderness. {74:15} Thou didst cleave the fountain and the flood: thou driedst up mighty rivers. {74:16} The day [is] thine, the night also [is] thine: thou hast prepared the light and the sun. {74:17} Thou hast set all the borders of the earth: thou hast made summer and winter. {74:18} Remember this, [that] the enemy hath reproached, O LORD, and [that] the foolish people have blasphemed thy name. {74:19} O deliver not the soul of thy turtledove unto the multitude [of the wicked:] forget not the congregation of thy poor for ever. {74:20} Have respect unto the covenant: for the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of cruelty. {74:21} O let not the oppressed return ashamed: let the poor and needy praise thy name. {74:22} Arise, O God, plead thine own cause: remember how the foolish man reproacheth thee daily. {74:23} Forget not the voice of thine enemies: the tumult of those that rise up against thee increaseth continually. Psalm 75 To the chief Musician, Altaschith, A Psalm [or] Song of Asaph. {75:1} Unto thee, O God, do we give thanks, [unto thee] do we give thanks: for [that] thy name is near thy wondrous works declare. {75:2} When I shall receive the congregation I will judge uprightly. {75:3} The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I bear up the pillars of it. Selah. {75:4} I said unto the fools, Deal not foolishly: and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn: {75:5} Lift not up your horn on high: speak [not with] a stiff neck. {75:6} For promotion [cometh] neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south. {75:7} But God [is] the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another. {75:8} For in the hand of the LORD [there is] a cup, and the wine is red; it is full of mixture; and he poureth out of the same: but the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall wring [them] out, [and] drink [them. ]{75:9} But I will declare for ever; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob. {75:10} All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; [but] the Psalms horns of the righteous shall be exalted. Psalm 76 To the chief Musician on Neginoth, A Psalm [or] Song of Asaph. {76:1} In Judah [is] God known: his name [is] great in Israel. {76:2} In Salem also is his tabernacle, and his dwelling place in Zion. {76:3} There brake he the arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the battle. Selah. {76:4} Thou [art] more glorious [and] excellent than the mountains of prey. {76:5} The stouthearted are spoiled, they have slept their sleep: and none of the men of might have found their hands. {76:6} At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, both the chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep. {76:7} Thou, [even] thou, [art] to be feared: and who may stand in thy sight when once thou art angry? {76:8} Thou didst cause judgment to be heard from heaven; the earth feared, and was still, {76:9} When God arose to judgment, to save all the meek of the earth. Selah. {76:10} Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee: the remainder of wrath shalt thou restrain. {76:11} Vow, and pay unto the LORD your God: let all that be round about him bring presents unto him that ought to be feared. {76:12} He shall cut off the spirit of princes: [he is] terrible to the kings of the earth. Psalm 77 To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun, A Psalm of Asaph. {77:1} I cried unto God with my voice, [even] unto God with my voice; and he gave ear unto me. {77:2} In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord: my sore ran in the night, and ceased not: my soul refused to be comforted. {77:3} I remembered God, and was troubled: I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. Selah. {77:4} Thou holdest mine eyes waking: I am so troubled that I cannot speak. {77:5} I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times. {77:6} I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with mine own heart: and my spirit made diligent search. {77:7} Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be favourable no more? {77:8} Is his mercy clean gone for ever? doth [his] promise fail for evermore? {77:9} Hath God forgotten to be gracious? hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? Selah. {77:10} And I said, This [is] my infirmity: [but I will remember] the years of the right hand of the most High. {77:11} I will remember the works of the LORD: surely I will remember thy wonders of old. {77:12} I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of thy doings. {77:13} Thy way, O God, [is] in the sanctuary: who [is so] great a God as [our] God? {77:14} Thou [art] the God that doest wonders: thou hast declared thy strength among the people. {77:15} Thou hast with [thine] arm redeemed thy people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah. {77:16} The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee; they were afraid: the depths also were troubled. {77:17} The clouds poured out water: the skies sent out a sound: thine arrows also went abroad. {77:18} The voice of thy thunder [was] in the heaven: the lightnings lightened the world: the earth trembled and shook.
