three Psalm 73 surely God is good to Israel to those who are pure in heart but as for me my feet had almost slipped I had almost lost my balance because I envied the arrogant when I saw the prosperity of the wicked they have no struggles their bodies are healthy and strong They are free from common human burdens They are not plagued by human evils That is why pride is their necklace They wear violence from their callous hearts Iniquity arises Their evil imaginations have no limits They mock and speak with malice With arrogance They threaten oppression Their mouths claim the heaven and their tongues take possession of the earth so their people turn to them and drink plenty of water, they say, how would God know.

Does the Almighty know anything? In innocence all day I have been afflicted and each morning brings new punishments if I had spoken like this I would have betrayed your children when I tried to understand all this it troubled me deeply until I entered the sanctuary of God then I understood their final destiny surely you place them on slippery ground you throw them into ruin how suddenly they are destroyed completely swept away by terrors they are like a dream when one awakens when you arise Lord you will despise them as fantasies when my heart was grieved and my spirit was bitter I was foolish and ignorant I was a brute beast before you yet I am always with you, you hold me by my right hand, you guide me with your advice and then you will take me to glory.

Who do I have in heaven but you, and the earth has nothing I desire outside of you, my flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever those who are far from you will perish you destroy all those who are unfaithful to you but as for me it is good to be close to God I have made the sovereign Lord my refuge I will tell all your works Psalm 74 O God, why have you rejected us forever, why does your anger burn against the sheep of your pasture, remember the nation that you bought long ago, the people of your inheritance, whom you redeemed, Mount Zion, where you lived, direct your steps towards these eternal ruins, all this destruction that the enemy has brought upon the sanctuary your enemies roared at the place where you met us they raised their banners as signs they behaved like men wielding axes to cut down a thicket of trees they destroyed all the carved panels with their axes and axes they burned your sanctuary to the foundations they desecrated the dwelling of your name they said in their hearts we will crush them completely they burned all the places where God was worshiped On earth we receive no signs from God, there are no prophets left and none of us knows how long it will last how long it will be mocked of you the enemy.

God, the enemy will revile your name forever. Why do you hold your hand? Take your right hand. from the folds of your mantle and destroy it, but God has been my king for a long time, he brings salvation to the earth, it was you who parted the sea with your power, you generated the heads of the monster in the waters, it was you who crushed the heads of Leviathan and gave it as food to the creatures of the desert it was you who opened springs and streams you dried up the ever-flowing rivers the day is yours and yours also the night you established the Sun and the Moon it was you who set all the limits of the earth you made both summer and winter remember how the enemy has mocked you Lord how fools have reviled your name do not give the life of your dove to the wild beasts do not forget forever the life of your afflicted people have respect for your covenant because places of violence fill the dark places of the earth to not allow the oppressed to retreat in disgrace let the poor and needy praise your name rise up oh God and defend your cause remember how fools mock you all day long do not ignore the cry of your adversaries the uproar of your enemies that rises continually Psalm 75 we praise you God we praise you because your name is near people tell of your wonders you say I choose the appointed time it is I who judges with equity when the earth and all Its people tremble it is I who keeps its pillars firm to the proud I say do not boast any more before the wicked do not raise your horns do not raise your horns against the sky do not speak so defiantly no one from the east or the west or the desert can be exalted it is God who judge, cast down one, exalt another in the hand of the Lord is a cup full of sparkling wine mixed with spices, he pours it out and all the wicked of the earth drink it. to the dregs as for me I will declare this forever I will sing praises to the God of Jacob who says I will cut off the horns of all the wicked but the horns of the righteous will be lifted up Psalm 76 God is renowned in Judah in Israel his name is great his tent is in Salem his abode in Zion there broke the flashing arrows the shields and the swords the weapons of war you are radiant with light more majestic than the mountains rich in game the brave lie plundered they sleep in their last sleep, none of the warriors can lift their hands before your rebuke.

Jacob's god, both horse and chariot, lie still. You are the only one to fear, the one who can stand in front of you when you are angry. From heaven you pronounced judgment and from earth. feared and was calm when your God rose to judge to save all the afflicted of the earth, surely your wrath against humanity will bring you praise and the survivors of your wrath will be repressed make vows to the Lord your God and fulfill them that all the lands neighbors brings gifts to the fearsome one he breaks the spirit of rulers he is feared by the kings of the earth Psalm 77 I cried out to God for help I cried out to God to hear me when I was in distress I sought the Lord in the night I stretched out tireless hands and had no comfort I remembered you God and I moaned I meditated and my spirit fainted you kept my eyes from closing I was too worried to speak I thought of the days gone by the years long ago I remembered my songs in the night.

My heart pondered and my spirit asked: Will the Lord reject forever? Will he never show favor to him again? Has her unfailing love for him vanished forever as his forever promise has failed? Has God forgotten to be merciful when he in anger withheld his promise? compassion then I thought of this I will appeal to the years in which the most high extended his right hand I will remember the works of the Lord yes I will remember your miracles of old I will consider all your works and I will meditate on all your miracles your ways Our holy God what God is as great as our God you are the God who works miracles you show your power among the people with your powerful arm you redeemed your people the descendants of Jacob and Joseph the waters saw you God the waters saw you and writhed the very depths convulsed the clouds poured water the heavens your arrows rang with thunder from one side to the other your thunder was heard in the whirlwind your lightning illuminated the world the earth trembled as it cooked your path guided through the sea your path through the rushing waters although your footprints were not seen you guided your people like a flock from the hand of Moses and Aaron Psalm 78 my people here my teaching listen to the words of my mouth I will open my mouth with a parable I will speak hidden things things of old things that we have heard and known things that our ancestors taught us We will not hide them from their descendants.

We will tell the next generation about the praiseworthy works of Jehovah, his power and the wonders he has done. He decreed statutes for Jacob and established the law in Israel, which he commanded our ancestors to teach their children so that the next. generation knew them, even the children yet to be born, and they in turn would tell their children, then they would put their trust in God and not forget his works. but they would keep his commandments they would not be like their ancestors a stubborn and rebellious generation whose hearts were not loyal to God whose spirits were not faithful to him the men of Ephraim, although armed with bows, turned back on the day of battle, they did not comply the covenant of God and refused to live according to his law, they forgot what he had done, the wonders he had shown them, he performed miracles before the eyes of their ancestors in the land of Egypt, in the region of Zion, he divided the sea and led them through it.

The water rose like a wall, it guided them with the cloud during the day and with the light of the fire all night long it split the rocks in the desert and gave them water as abundant as the seas, it brought out streams from a rock and made water . They flowed like rivers but continued to sin against him rebelling in the desert against the Almighty they willingly tested God by demanding the food they craved they spoke against God they said: can God really spread out in the desert? rock and water gushed forth streams flowed abundantly but can it also give us bread?

Can he supply meat for his people?
