for thou art my rock and my fortress. 00:00:34.299 --> 00:00:38.170 Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, out of the hand 00:00:38.170 --> 00:00:40.110 of the unrighteous and cruel man. 00:00:41.340 --> 00:00:46.469 For thou art my hope, O Lord God: thou art my trust from my youth. 00:00:47.740 --> 00:00:52.129 By thee have I been holden up from the womb: thou art he that took 00:00:52.129 --> 00:00:56.870 me out of my mother's bowels: my praise shall be continually of thee. 00:00:59.100 --> 00:01:03.610 I am as a wonder unto many; but thou art my strong refuge. 00:01:04.429 --> 00:01:08.990 Let my mouth be filled with thy praise and with thy honour all the day. 00:01:09.710 --> 00:01:14.280 Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength faileth. 00:01:15.130 --> 00:01:19.330 For mine enemies speak against me; and they that lay wait for 00:01:19.330 --> 00:01:21.070 my soul take counsel together, 00:01:21.289 --> 00:01:26.159 Saying, God hath forsaken him: persecute and take him; for 00:01:26.160 --> 00:01:27.560 there is none to deliver him. 00:01:28.930 --> 00:01:33.630 O God, be not far from me: O my God, make haste for my help. 00:01:34.630 --> 00:01:38.400 Let them be confounded and consumed that are adversaries to my soul; 00:01:38.889 --> 00:01:42.170 let them be covered with reproach and dishonour that seek my hurt. 00:01:43.340 --> 00:01:48.420 But I will hope continually, and will yet praise thee more and more. 00:01:49.500 --> 00:01:53.750 My mouth shall shew forth thy righteousness and thy salvation all the 00:01:53.750 --> 00:01:57.050 day; for I know not the numbers thereof. 00:01:57.280 --> 00:02:01.260 I will go in the strength of the Lord God: I will make mention of thy 00:02:01.260 --> 00:02:03.380 righteousness, even of thine only. 00:02:04.480 --> 00:02:08.130 O God, thou hast taught me from my youth: and hitherto have I 00:02:08.130 --> 00:02:09.770 declared thy wondrous works. 00:02:10.919 --> 00:02:16.320 Now also when I am old and greyheaded, O God, forsake me not; until I have shewed 00:02:16.330 --> 00:02:20.839 thy strength unto this generation, and thy power to every one that is to come. 00:02:22.049 --> 00:02:26.470 Thy righteousness also, O God, is very high, who hast done great 00:02:26.470 --> 00:02:28.470 things: O God, who is like unto thee! 00:02:29.590 --> 00:02:33.659 Thou, which hast shewed me great and sore troubles, shalt quicken 00:02:33.660 --> 00:02:37.320 me again, and shalt bring me up again from the depths of the earth. 00:02:38.219 --> 00:02:41.889 Thou shalt increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side. 00:02:43.410 --> 00:02:46.870 I will also praise thee with the psaltery, even thy truth, O my 00:02:46.870 --> 00:02:51.560 God: unto thee will I sing with the harp, O thou Holy One of Israel. 00:02:51.859 --> 00:02:55.720 My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto thee; and my 00:02:55.720 --> 00:02:57.689 soul, which thou hast redeemed. 00:02:58.640 --> 00:03:03.049 My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day long: for 00:03:03.049 --> 00:03:07.279 they are confounded, for they are brought unto shame, that seek my hurt. 00:03:11.655 --> 00:03:12.985 Psalm 72 - A 00:03:15.065 --> 00:03:16.525 Psalm for Solomon. 00:03:19.965 --> 00:03:24.025 Give the king thy judgments, O God, and thy righteousness unto the king's son. 00:03:25.765 --> 00:03:30.405 He shall judge thy people with righteousness, and thy poor with judgment. 00:03:31.615 --> 00:03:34.715 The mountains shall bring peace to the people, and the 00:03:34.715 --> 00:03:36.335 little hills, by righteousness. 00:03:37.555 --> 00:03:42.705 He shall judge the poor of the people, he shall save the children of the needy, 00:03:43.155 --> 00:03:45.235 and shall break in pieces the oppressor. 00:03:48.075 --> 00:03:51.635 They shall fear thee as long as the sun and moon endure, 00:03:52.225 --> 00:03:53.905 throughout all generations. 00:03:54.925 --> 00:04:00.685 He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass: as showers that water the earth. 00:04:02.005 --> 00:04:05.465 In his days shall the righteous flourish; and abundance of peace 00:04:05.475 --> 00:04:07.135 so long as the moon endureth. 00:04:08.445 --> 00:04:13.025 He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river 00:04:13.065 --> 00:04:14.425 unto the ends of the earth. 00:04:15.745 --> 00:04:19.665 They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him; and his 00:04:19.675 --> 00:04:21.265 enemies shall lick the dust. 00:04:22.225 --> 00:04:26.735 The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring presents: the kings 00:04:26.735 --> 00:04:29.155 of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts. 00:04:30.215 --> 00:04:34.935 Yea, all kings shall fall down before him: all nations shall serve him. 00:04:36.005 --> 00:04:40.915 For he shall deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor also, 00:04:40.995 --> 00:04:42.705 and him that hath no helper. 00:04:43.395 --> 00:04:47.805 He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall save the souls of the needy. 00:04:48.575 --> 00:04:53.065 He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence: and precious 00:04:53.075 --> 00:04:55.115 shall their blood be in his sight. 00:04:55.885 --> 00:05:02.075 And he shall live, and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba: prayer 00:05:02.095 --> 00:05:06.675 also shall be made for him continually; and daily shall he be praised. 00:05:07.685 --> 00:05:11.455 There shall be an handful of corn in the earth upon the top of the mountains; 00:05:12.255 --> 00:05:16.195 the fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon: and they of the city shall 00:05:16.195 --> 00:05:17.875 flourish like grass of the earth. 00:05:18.695 --> 00:05:24.445 His name shall endure for ever: his name shall be continued as long as the 00:05:24.445 --> 00:05:29.645 sun: and men shall be blessed in him: all nations shall call him blessed. 00:05:31.045 --> 00:05:34.375 Blessed be the Lord God, the God of Israel, And 00:05:37.775 --> 00:05:42.405 blessed be his glorious name for ever: and let the whole earth be 00:05:42.405 --> 00:05:45.445 filled with his glory; Amen, and Amen. 00:05:46.265 --> 00:05:49.525 The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended. 00:06:03.621 --> 00:06:04.641 Psalm 73 00:06:07.061 --> 00:06:08.521 - A Psalm of Asaph 00:06:11.921 --> 00:06:16.931 Truly God is good to Israel, even to such as are of a clean heart. 00:06:17.721 --> 00:06:24.521 But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped. 00:06:25.331 --> 00:06:30.011 For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked. 00:06:31.311 --> 00:06:35.801 For there are no bands in their death: but their strength is firm. 00:06:36.881 --> 00:06:41.401 They are not in trouble as other men; neither are they plagued like other men. 00:06:44.031 --> 00:06:49.271 Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain; violence 00:06:49.301 --> 00:06:51.091 covereth them as a garment. 00:06:52.551 --> 00:06:57.771 Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than heart could wish. 00:06:58.311 --> 00:07:03.561 They are corrupt, and speak wickedly concerning oppression: they speak loftily. 00:07:04.491 --> 00:07:07.731 They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue 00:07:07.961 --> 00:07:09.351 walketh through the earth. 00:07:10.971 --> 00:07:15.731 Therefore his people return hither: and waters of a full 00:07:15.731 --> 00:07:17.101 cup are wrung out to them. 00:07:17.641 --> 00:07:19.391 And they say, How doth God know? 00:07:20.731 --> 00:07:22.621 and is there knowledge in the most High? 00:07:24.231 --> 00:07:29.211 Behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase in riches. 00:07:30.151 --> 00:07:34.111 Verily I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands in innocency. 00:07:34.841 --> 00:07:38.341 For all the day long have I been plagued, and chastened every morning. 00:07:39.101 --> 00:07:43.661 If I say, I will speak thus; behold, I should offend against 00:07:43.661 --> 00:07:45.051 the generation of thy children. 00:07:47.191 --> 00:07:49.981 When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me; 00:07:50.701 --> 00:07:56.321 Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood I their end. 00:07:57.531 --> 00:08:01.821 Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou castedst 00:08:01.841 --> 00:08:03.761 them down into destruction. 00:08:05.001 --> 00:08:07.861 How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment! 00:08:08.761 --> 00:08:11.091 they are utterly consumed with terrors. 00:08:13.021 --> 00:08:17.261 As a dream when one awaketh; so, O Lord, when thou awakest, 00:08:17.291 --> 00:08:18.991 thou shalt despise their image. 00:08:20.691 --> 00:08:23.761 Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins. 00:08:24.151 --> 00:08:28.621 So foolish was I, and ignorant: I was as a beast before thee. 00:08:29.591 --> 00:08:35.711 Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast holden me by my right hand. 00:08:36.021 --> 00:08:40.721 Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory. 00:08:42.311 --> 00:08:44.041 Whom have I in heaven but thee? 00:08:44.691 --> 00:08:47.571 and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee. 00:08:48.231 --> 00:08:52.681 My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my 00:08:52.681 --> 00:08:54.871 heart, and my portion for ever. 00:08:55.451 --> 00:09:00.271 For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: thou hast destroyed 00:09:00.281 --> 00:09:02.061 all them that go a whoring from thee. 00:09:03.601 --> 00:09:08.551 But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord 00:09:08.551 --> 00:09:12.221 God, that I may declare all thy works. 00:09:17.945 --> 00:09:19.025 Psalm 74 00:09:23.115 --> 00:09:24.835 - Maschil of Asaph. 00:09:28.465 --> 00:09:31.105 O God, why hast thou cast us off for ever? 00:09:31.805 --> 00:09:34.985 why doth thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture? 00:09:36.155 --> 00:09:40.995 Remember thy congregation, which thou hast purchased of old; the rod of thine 00:09:40.995 --> 00:09:43.395 inheritance, which thou hast redeemed; 00:09:47.082 --> 00:09:49.552 this mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt. 00:09:49.702 --> 00:09:54.552 Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual desolations; even all that the enemy 00:09:54.552 --> 00:09:56.652 hath done wickedly in the sanctuary. 00:10:00.158 --> 00:10:04.468 Thine enemies roar in the midst of thy congregations; they set 00:10:04.468 --> 00:10:06.148 up their ensigns for signs. 00:10:07.398 --> 00:10:11.788 A man was famous according as he had lifted up axes upon the thick trees. 00:10:12.778 --> 00:10:18.158 But now they break down the carved work thereof at once with axes and hammers. 00:10:19.078 --> 00:10:24.008 They have cast fire into thy sanctuary, they have defiled by casting down the 00:10:24.008 --> 00:10:26.308 dwelling place of thy name to the ground. 00:10:27.338 --> 00:10:32.238 They said in their hearts, Let us destroy them together: they have burned up 00:10:32.238 --> 00:10:34.378 all the synagogues of God in the land. 00:10:35.448 --> 00:10:40.308 We see not our signs: there is no more any prophet: neither is there 00:10:40.308 --> 00:10:42.248 among us any that knoweth how long. 00:10:46.008 --> 00:10:48.888 O God, how long shall the adversary reproach? 00:10:49.618 --> 00:10:51.938 shall the enemy blaspheme thy name for ever? 00:10:52.908 --> 00:10:55.818 Why withdrawest thou thy hand, even thy right hand? 00:10:56.428 --> 00:10:57.668 pluck it out of thy bosom. 00:10:59.008 --> 00:11:03.018 For God is my King of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth. 00:11:03.948 --> 00:11:08.318 Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength: thou brakest the heads 00:11:08.318 --> 00:11:09.858 of the dragons in the waters. 00:11:10.588 --> 00:11:15.608 Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces, and gavest him to be meat to 00:11:15.608 --> 00:11:17.368 the people inhabiting the wilderness. 00:11:18.388 --> 00:11:22.768 Thou didst cleave the fountain and the flood: thou driedst up mighty rivers. 00:11:23.328 --> 00:11:28.978 The day is thine, the night also is thine: thou hast prepared the light and the sun. 00:11:29.528 --> 00:11:34.278 Thou hast set all the borders of the earth: thou hast made summer and winter. 00:11:36.028 --> 00:11:41.068 Remember this, that the enemy hath reproached, O Lord, and that the 00:11:41.068 --> 00:11:43.068 foolish people have blasphemed thy name. 00:11:44.088 --> 00:11:49.428 O deliver not the soul of thy turtledove unto the multitude of the wicked: forget 00:11:49.428 --> 00:11:51.838 not the congregation of thy poor for ever. 00:11:52.678 --> 00:11:56.858 Have respect unto the covenant: for the dark places of the earth are 00:11:56.858 --> 00:11:59.168 full of the habitations of cruelty. 00:12:00.658 --> 00:12:05.788 O let not the oppressed return ashamed: let the poor and needy praise thy name. 00:12:06.478 --> 00:12:10.478 Arise, O God, plead thine own cause: remember how the foolish 00:12:10.498 --> 00:12:11.978 man reproacheth thee daily. 00:12:12.728 --> 00:12:17.128 Forget not the voice of thine enemies: the tumult of those that rise up 00:12:17.128 --> 00:12:19.418 against thee increaseth continually. 00:12:24.813 --> 00:12:32.853 Psalm 75 - To the chief Musician, Al-taschith, A Psalm or Song of Asaph. 00:12:37.562 --> 00:12:43.522 Unto thee, O God, do we give thanks, unto thee do we give thanks: for that thy 00:12:43.562 --> 00:12:46.232 name is near thy wondrous works declare. 00:12:47.632 --> 00:12:51.212 When I shall receive the congregation I will judge uprightly. 00:12:51.712 --> 00:12:55.282 The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I 00:12:55.282 --> 00:12:56.582 bear up the pillars of it. 00:12:56.802 --> 00:12:57.352 Selah. 00:12:58.512 --> 00:13:04.672 I said unto the fools, Deal not foolishly: and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn: 00:13:05.622 --> 00:13:09.432 Lift not up your horn on high: speak not with a stiff neck. 00:13:11.522 --> 00:13:14.532 For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the 00:13:14.532 --> 00:13:16.122 west, nor from the south. 00:13:17.082 --> 00:13:21.812 But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another. 00:13:22.602 --> 00:13:27.172 For in the hand of the Lord there is a cup, and the wine is red; it is 00:13:27.172 --> 00:13:30.962 full of mixture; and he poureth out of the same: but the dregs thereof, 00:13:31.762 --> 00:13:35.292 all the wicked of the earth shall wring them out, and drink them. 00:13:36.292 --> 00:13:40.232 But I will declare for ever; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob. 00:13:40.942 --> 00:13:45.132 All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; but the horns of 00:13:45.142 --> 00:13:47.082 the righteous shall be exalted.
