↟↟ Psalms 61-80

Psalm 61 ↟↟

or the conductor, on neginath, of David.
Hearken, O God, to my request, listen to my prayer.
From the end of the earth I call out to You when my heart becomes faint, on the rock that is higher than I, You lead me.
For You were a shelter for me, a tower of strength in the face of the enemy.
I shall dwell in Your tent to eternity, I will take shelter in the covert of Your wings forever.
For You, God, have hearkened to my vows, You have given the heritage of those who fear Your name.
Add days to the days of the king, his years as every generation.
May he dwell forever before God, kindness and truth should be prepared to guard him.
So will I sing praises to Your name forever, when I pay my vows every day.

Psalm 62 ↟↟

or the conductor, on jeduthun, a song of David.
Only to God does my soul hope for silently, from Him is my salvation.
Only He is my Rock and my salvation, my stronghold so that I shall not falter greatly.
How long will you plan destruction to man? You shall be murdered, all of you, as a leaning wall, a tottering fence.
Only because of his loftiness have they plotted to topple him, they delight in lies, with his mouth they bless, but inwardly they curse forever.
Only to God should you hope, my soul, for my hope is from Him.
Only He is my Rock and my salvation, my stronghold, I shall not falter.
Upon God rests my salvation and my honor, [He is] the Rock of my strength, my shelter is in God.
Trust in Him at all times, people, pour out your hearts before Him. God is our shelter forever.
The sons of men are but vanity, and men of distinction are deceitful, were they to be put on a scale, together they would equal vanity.
Do not trust in oppression, and do not put vain hope in robbery, if wealth burgeons, pay it no heed.
God spoke one thing, I heard two, for God has strength.
And You, O Lord, have kindness, for You repay a man according to his deed.

Psalm 63 ↟↟

song of David when he was in the desert of Judah.
O God, You are my God, I seek You. My soul thirsts for You, my flesh longs for You, in an arid and thirsty land, without water.
As I saw You in the Sanctuary, [so do I long] to see Your strength and Your glory.
For Your kindness is better than life, my lips will praise You.
Then I shall bless You in my lifetime, in Your name I shall lift my hands.
[As] with choice foods and fat, my soul will be sated, when my mouth praises with expressions of song.
When I remember You on my couch, in the watches I meditate about You.
For You were my help, and in the shadow of Your wings I shall praise.
My soul has clung after You, Your right hand has supported me.
But they seek my soul to make it desolate, may they come into the depths of the earth.
May he be dragged by the sword, they will be the portion of foxes.
And may the king rejoice with God, may all who swear by Him boast, for the mouth of those who speak lies will be closed.

Psalm 64 ↟↟

or the conductor, a song of David.
Hear, O God, my voice in my prayer, from fear of the enemy You shall guard my life.
You shall hide me from the counsel of evildoers, from the gathering of workers of iniquity,
Who whetted their tongue like the sword, who aimed a bitter word like their arrow,
To shoot at the innocent in secret places, they shoot at him suddenly and do not fear.
They strengthen the evil word for themselves, they tell to hide snares. They say, "Who will see us?"
They seek pretexts, they have completed a diligent search, hidden within man and in the depths of the heart.
And God cast them down, their wounds were [like] a sudden arrow.
That which they hoped would make him stumble, their tongue brought upon them, all who see them will shake their heads.
Then all men feared, and they declared the work of God and understood His deed.
The righteous will rejoice with God and take shelter in Him, and all upright of heart will boast.

Psalm 65 ↟↟

or the conductor, a psalm of David, a song.
Silence is praise to You, O God in Zion, and to You a vow is paid.
You, Who hearken to prayer, to You all flesh shall come.
Words of iniquities have overcome me, as for our transgressions, You shall atone for them.
Praiseworthy is he whom You choose and draw near to dwell in Your courts, let us be sated with the goodness of Your house, the sanctity of Your Temple.
With awesome deeds, through [Your] charity You shall answer us, God of our salvation, the trust of all the distant ends of the earth and the sea.
Who sets mountains with His strength, Who is girded with might.
Who humbles the roaring of the seas, the roaring of their waves, and the multitude of kingdoms.
And the dwellers of the ends fear Your signs, with the emergence of morning and evening, You cause [them] to sing praises.
You remember the earth and water it, You enrich it greatly with the stream of God which is full of water, You prepare their corn for so do You prepare it.
To sate its furrows, to afford pleasure to its troops, with raindrops You dissolve it, You bless its plants.
You crowned a year of Your goodness, and Your paths drip with fatness.
They drip upon the dwellings of the desert, and hills gird themselves with joy.
Meadows are clothed with flocks, and valleys are enwrapped with corn, they shout for joy, yea, they sing.

Psalm 66 ↟↟

or the conductor, a song of praise, shout for joy to God, all the earth.
Sing the glory of His name, make glorious His praise.
Say to God, "How awesome are Your deeds. Through the greatness of Your might, Your enemies will admit their lies to You.
All the earth will prostrate themselves to You and sing praises to You, they will sing praises to Your name forever."
Go and see the deeds of God, awesome in His deeds toward mankind.
He turned the sea into dry land, in the river they crossed by foot, there we rejoiced with Him.
With His might, He rules the world, His eyes oversee the nations, the rebellious ones will not exalt themselves, ever.
O peoples, bless our God, and make the voice of His praise heard.
He, Who kept our souls alive and did not let our foot falter.
For You tested us, O God, You refined us as though refining silver.
You brought us into a trap, You placed a chain on our loins.
You caused man to ride at our head, we came in fire and water, and You took us out to satiety.
I shall come to Your house with burnt offerings, I shall pay You my vows,
Which my lips uttered and my mouth spoke in my distress.
Burnt offerings of fat animals I shall offer up to You with the burning of rams, I shall prepare cattle with he-goats forever.
Come, hearken and I shall tell all you who fear God what He did for my soul.
My mouth called out to Him, and He was exalted under my tongue.
If I saw iniquity in my heart, the Lord does not hear it.
But God heard, He hearkened to the voice of my prayer.
Blessed be God, Who did not remove my prayer and His kindness from me.

Psalm 67 ↟↟

or the conductor, on neginoth, a psalm, a song.
God will be gracious to us and bless us, He will cause His countenance to shine with us forever.
That Your way should be known on earth, Your salvation among all nations.
Peoples will thank You, O God, peoples will thank You, yea, all of them.
Kingdoms will rejoice and sing praises, for You will judge peoples fairly, and the kingdoms-You will lead them on earth forever.
Peoples will thank You, O God, peoples will thank You, yea, all of them.
The earth gave forth its produce, God, our God, will bless us.
God will bless us, and all the ends of the earth will fear Him.

Psalm 68 ↟↟

or the conductor, a psalm, a song of David.
May God rise, His enemies scatter, and those who hate Him flee from before Him.
As smoke is driven away, You will drive [them] away, as wax melts before fire, the wicked will perish from before God.
And the righteous will rejoice, yea, they will exult before God and they will delight with joy.
"Sing to God, sing praises to His name, praise Him Who rides in Aravoth by His name Yah, and rejoice before Him.
O Father of orphans and Judge of widows, O God in His holy dwelling place."
God settles the solitary in a house, He takes the prisoners out at the most opportune time, but the rebellious dwell in an arid land.
O God, when You went out before Your people, when You marched through the wilderness, forever.
The earth quaked, even the heavens dripped, this is Sinai, because of God, the God of Israel.
Generous rain You poured down, O God, Your heritage, which was weary, You established.
Your congregation dwelt therein, You prepare with Your goodness for the poor, O God.
The Lord will give out a word, they will announce it to a great multitude.
Kings of hosts will wander, yea they will wander, and she who dwells in the house will divide the spoils.
If you lie between the borders-the feathers of a dove covered with silver, and its pinions with brilliant gold.
When the Almighty spreads out for kings therein, it will become as white as snow in darkness.
The mountain of God is the mountain of Bashan, the mountain of peaks is the mountain of Bashan.
Why do you lurk, you lofty mountains, for the mountain that God desired for His dwelling? Even the Lord will dwell [there] forever.
God's chariot is twice ten thousand times thousands of angels. The Lord was among them at Sinai in His holiness.
You ascended on high, you took captives, you took gifts to be among men, and also rebellious ones for Yah God to dwell.
Blessed is the Lord, every day God lavishes upon us our salvation forever.
God is to us the God of salvations, but God the Lord has the ways to death.
Indeed God will wound His enemies' head, the hairy pate of him who goes with his guilt.
The Lord said, "I shall restore from Bashan, I shall restore from the depths of the sea.
In order that your foot may wade through blood, the tongue of your dogs will have its portion from the enemies."
They saw Your ways, O God, the ways of my God, my King in sanctity.
Singers went first, minstrels afterwards, in the midst of maidens playing timbrels.
In congregations bless God the Lord, from the womb of Israel.
There Benjamin the youngest rules over them, the princes of Judah pelt them with stones, as do the princes of Zebulun and the princes of Naftali.
Your God has commanded your strength, show this strength, O God, which You have wrought for us.
From Your Temple, which is over Jerusalem, kings will bring You tribute.
Rebuke the people of the forest, the congregation of mighty bulls among people like calves, submitting himself for pieces of silver, he scatters peoples, they always desire battles.
Gifts will be brought from Egypt, Cush will cause his hands to run to God.
Kingdoms of the earth, sing to God, sing praises to the Lord forever.
To Him Who rides on the heaven of heavens of old, behold, He gives forth with His voice a voice of strength.
Attribute strength to God, over Israel is His pride, and His strength is in the skies.
You are feared, O God, from Your Sanctuary, the God of Israel-He gives strength and power to the people, blessed be God.

Psalm 69 ↟↟

or the conductor, on shoshannim, of David.
Save me, O God, for water has come up to my soul.
I have sunk in muddy depths and there is no place to stand, I have come into the deep water, and the current has swept me away.
I have become weary from calling out, my throat has become parched, my eyes fail while I wait for my God.
Those who hate me for nothing are more numerous than the hairs of my head, mighty are those who would cut me off, who are my enemies because of lies, what I did not steal, I will then return.
O God, You know my folly, and my acts of guilt are not concealed from You.
Do not let those who hope for You be shamed through me, O Lord God of Hosts, let those who seek You not be disgraced through me, O God of Israel.
For I have borne humiliation because of You, disgrace has covered my face.
I was strange to my brothers, and alien to the sons of my mother.
For the envy of Your house has consumed me, and the humiliations of those who blaspheme You have fallen upon me.
And I bewailed my soul in fast, and it was a disgrace for me.
And I made sackcloth my raiment, and I became a byword to them.
They talk about me, those who sit in the gate, and [they make] melodies [about me] for those who imbibe strong drink.
But, as for me, may my prayer to You, O Lord, be in an acceptable time. O God, with Your abundant kindness, answer me with the truth of Your salvation.
Save me from mud that I not sink, that I be saved from my enemies and from the depths of water.
Let neither the current of water sweep me away, nor the deep swallow me, and let a well not close its mouth over me.
Answer me, O Lord, for Your kindness is good, according to Your abundant mercies, turn to me.
And do not hide Your face from Your servant, because I am distressed, hasten to answer me.
Come close to my soul, redeem it, because of my enemies, redeem me.
You know my humiliation, my shame, and my disgrace, all my oppressors are before You.
Humiliation has broken my heart and I have become ill, I hoped for sympathy but there was none, and for comforters but I found none.
They put gall into my food and for my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
May their table before them become a trap, and [their hope] for peace become a snare.
May their eyes become dark, so they cannot see, constantly cause their loins to slip.
Pour out Your fury upon them, and may Your burning wrath overtake them.
May their palace be desolate, in their tents let there be no dweller.
For You-those whom You smote they pursued, and about the pain of those whom You wounded they tell.
Add iniquity to their iniquity, and let them not come into Your charity.
May they be erased from the book of life, and may they not be inscribed with the righteous.
But I am poor and in pain, may Your salvation, O God, exalt me.
I shall praise the name of God with song, and I shall magnify Him with a thanksgiving offering.
And it will appeal to the Lord more than a young bull that is mature, with horns and hooves.
When the humble see, they rejoice, yea, those who seek God, and your heart will be invigorated.
For God hearkens to the needy, and He does not despise His prisoners.
Heaven and earth will praise Him, the seas and everything that moves therein,
When God saves Zion and builds the cities of Judah, and they dwell there and take possession of it.
And the seed of His servants inherit it, and those who love His name dwell therein.

Psalm 70 ↟↟

or the conductor, of David, to make mention.
O God, [hasten] to save me, O Lord, hasten to my assistance.
May those who seek my life be shamed and humiliated, may those who desire my harm turn back and be disgraced.
Let them return in the path of their shame, those who say, "Aha, aha."
May all those who seek You exult and rejoice, and may those who love Your salvation say constantly, "May God be magnified."
But I am poor and needy, O God, hasten to me, You are my aid and my rescuer, O Lord, do not delay.

Psalm 71 ↟↟

n You, O Lord, have I taken refuge, let me never be ashamed.
With Your charity, You shall save me and rescue me, extend Your ear to me and save me.
Be for me a sheltering rock in which to enter continually, You commanded [others] to save me because You are my rock and my fortress.
My God, rescue me from the hands of the wicked, from the palm of him who treats unjustly and robs.
For You are my hope, O Lord God, my trust since my youth.
I relied on You from birth, from my mother's womb You drew me, my praise is always in You.
I was an example for the multitude, but You were my strong shelter.
My mouth will be filled with Your praise, all the days with Your glory.
Do not cast me away at the time of old age, when my strength fails, do not forsake me.
For my enemies said of me, and those who watch for my soul took counsel together,
Saying, "God has forsaken him, pursue and seize him, for there is no rescuer."
O God, do not distance Yourself from me, my God, hasten to my assistance.
The adversaries of my soul will be shamed and will perish, enwrapped in humiliation and disgrace will be those who seek to harm me.
As for me, I shall constantly hope, and I shall add to all Your praise.
My mouth will recite Your righteousness, all the days Your salvation, for I do not know their number.
I shall come with the mighty deeds of the Lord God, I shall mention Your righteousness alone.
O God, You have taught me since my youth, and until now I shall recite your wonders.
And even until old age and hoary hairs, O God, do not forsake me, until I tell [of] Your strength to the generation, to everyone who comes-Your might
And Your charity, O God, [which is] up to the heights, for You do great things. O God, who is like You?
That You showed me great and evil troubles, You will revive me again, and from the depths of the earth You will again raise me up.
You will increase my greatness, and You will turn and comfort me.
I too shall thank You with a stringed instrument for Your truth, my God, I shall play music to You with a harp, O Holy One of Israel.
My lips will sing praises when I play music to You, and my soul, which You redeemed.
Also my tongue will utter Your righteousness all the days, for those who seek my harm are shamed, yea, for they are disgraced.

Psalm 72 ↟↟

oncerning Solomon. O God, give Your judgments to a king and Your righteousness to a king's son.
May he judge Your people justly, and Your poor people with justice.
May the mountains bear peace for the people, and the hills-through righteousness.
May he judge the poor of the people, may he save the children of the needy and crush the oppressor.
May they fear You in the presence of the sun and before the moon for generations upon generations.
May it descend as rain upon cut vegetation, as raindrops that drip upon the earth.
May the righteous flourish in his days, and much peace until there is no moon.
And may he reign from sea to sea, and from the river to the ends of the land.
May nobles kneel before him, and may his enemies lick the dust.
May the kings of Tarshish and the isles return tribute, may the kings of Sheba and Seba approach with a gift.
And all kings will prostrate themselves to him, may all nations serve him.
For he will save a needy one who cries out, and a poor one who has no helper.
He will have pity on the poor and needy, and he will save the souls of the needy.
From blows and from robbery he will redeem their soul, and their blood will be dear in his eyes.
And may he live, and He will give him of the gold of Sheba, and may He pray for him constantly, all the days may He bless him.
May there be an abundance of grain in the land, on the mountain peaks, may its fruit rustle like Lebanon, and they will blossom forth from the city like the grass of the earth.
May his name be forever, before the sun, his name will be magnified, and [people] will bless themselves with him, all nations will praise him.
Blessed is the Lord God, the God of Israel, Who performs wonders alone.
And blessed is His glorious name forever, and His glory will fill the entire earth. Amen and amen.
The prayers of David the son of Jesse are completed.

Psalm 73 ↟↟

song of Asaph. Truly God is good to Israel, to the pure of heart.
But as for me, my feet had almost turned away, in an instant my steps would have been swept away.
For I envied the perverse, I would see the tranquility of the wicked.
For there are no fetters to their death, and their health is sound.
In the toil of mortal man they are not, neither are they plagued with mankind.
Therefore, they wear pride as a necklace, the robbery that they commit envelops their hips.
Because of their fat, their eyes bulge, they surpassed the imaginings of their heart.
They consume, and speak wickedly about oppression, they speak about the Most High.
They have set their mouth against Heaven, and their tongue walks through the earth.
Therefore, His people will return here, and the waters of the full [stream] are drained water to them.
And they say, "How does God know, and is there knowledge in the Most High?"
Behold these are wicked, yet they are tranquil in the world and have increased wealth.
But for nought I cleansed my heart and bathed my hands with cleanliness.
And I was plagued all the days, and my chastisement was every morning.
If I said, "I shall tell it as it is," behold I have made the generation of Your children into traitors.
And when I ponder to know this, it is iniquity in my eyes.
Until I came to the sanctuaries of God, and I understood their end.
Only in slippery places do You set them, You cast them down to ruin.
How they became desolate instantly. They were completely consumed by terrors.
As a dream without awakening, O Lord, in the city You will despise their form.
For my heart was in ferment, and my mind was on edge.
But I was brutish and I did not know, I was [as] a beast with You.
Yet I was constantly with You, You grasped my right hand.
With Your counsel You led me, and after[wards], You took me [for] glory.
For whom do I have in heaven, and I desired no one with You on earth.
My flesh and my heart yearn, God is the rock of my heart and my portion forever.
For behold, those who have distanced themselves from You will perish, You have cut off anyone who strays from You.
But as for me-God's nearness is my good, I have placed my refuge in the Lord God, to tell all Your mission.

Psalm 74 ↟↟

maskil of Asaph. Why, O God, have You forsaken forever? [Why] is Your wrath kindled against the flock of Your pasture?
Remember Your congregation, which You acquired from time immemorial, You redeemed the tribe of Your heritage, Mount Zion on which You dwelt.
Raise Your blows to inflict eternal ruin, for all the evil that the enemy did in the Sanctuary.
Your adversaries roared in the midst of Your meeting place, they made their signs for signs.
May he be known as though bringing [their blows] on high, the hatchets were in the thicket of the trees.
And now, its entrances together, with hatchets and hammers they strike.
They set Your Sanctuary afire, to the ground they profaned the dwelling place of Your name.
They said in their heart, their rulers together, they burned all the meeting places of God in the land.
We have not seen our signs, there is no longer a prophet, and no one with us knows how long.
How long, O God, will the adversary blaspheme? Will the enemy disgrace Your name forever?
Why do You withdraw Your hand, even Your right hand? Draw it out from within Your bosom.
But God is my King from time immemorial, Who works salvations in the midst of the earth.
You crumbled the sea with Your might, You shattered the heads of the sea monsters on the water.
You crushed the heads of Leviathan, You give it as food to the people in companies.
You split fountain and stream, You dried up mighty rivers.
Day is Yours, even night is Yours, You established the luminary and the sun.
You set all the boundaries of the earth, summer and winter-You formed them.
Remember how the enemy reviled the Lord and a villainous people blasphemed Your name.
Do not deliver to the company the soul of Your turtledove, the soul of Your poor ones do not ever forget.
Look to the covenant, for the dark places of the earth are filled with dwellings of violence.
Let not the poor turn back in disgrace, the poor and needy will praise Your name.
Arise, O God, plead Your own cause, remember Your disgrace from a villainous man all the days.
Do not forget the voice of Your adversaries, the tumult of those who rise up against You, which constantly ascends.

Psalm 75 ↟↟

or the conductor, al tashcheth, a psalm of Asaph, a song.
We have thanked You, O God, we have thanked, and Your name is near, they have told Your wonders.
When I take a festive day, I shall judge with fairness.
When the earth and all its inhabitants were melting away, I established its pillars forever.
I said to the perverse, "Do not behave perversely," and to the wicked, "Do not raise the horn."
Do not raise your horn on high, [do not] speak with [your] fat neck.
For it is not from the east or from the west, neither from the desert does elevation come.
But God judges, He humbles this one and elevates that one.
For a cup is in the hand of the Lord, and strong wine, a full mixture, and He pours out of this [cup], but all the wicked of the earth will drain and drink [it].
And I shall recite forever, I shall sing [praises] to the God of Jacob.
And all the horns of the wicked I shall cut off, the horns of the righteous will be upraised.

Psalm 76 ↟↟

or the conductor on neginoth, a psalm of Asaph, a song.
God is known in Judah, in Israel His name is great.
His Tabernacle was in Salem, and His dwelling place in Zion.
There He broke the arrows of the bow, shield and sword and war forever.
You are destructive, mightier than the mountains of prey.
The stout-hearted became mad, they slumbered in their sleep, and none of the men of the army found their hands.
From Your rebuke, O God of Jacob, chariot and horse were stunned.
You-awesome are You, and who can stand before You once You are angry?
From heaven, You let judgment be heard, the earth feared and became calm.
When God rises for judgment, to save all the humble of the earth forever.
For man's anger will thank You, it will prevent the residue of wrath.
Vow and pay to the Lord your God, all those around Him will bring a gift to Him Who is to be feared.
He will cut down the spirit of princes, He will be feared by the kings of the earth.

Psalm 77 ↟↟

or the conductor on jeduthun, a song of Asaph.
My voice is to God, and I shall cry out, my voice is to God, and hearken to me.
On the day of my distress, I sought the Lord, my wound oozes at night and does not abate, my soul refuses to be comforted.
I remember God and I stir, I speak and my spirit becomes faint, forever.
You held fast the awakenings of my eyes, I throb and I do not speak.
I think of days of yore, ancient years.
I recall my music at night, I speak with my heart and my spirit searches.
"Will the Lord forsake [me] forever and nevermore be appeased?
Has His kindness ended forever? Has He issued a decree for all generations?
Has God forgotten to be gracious? Has He, in anger, shut off His mercy forever?"
And I said, "This is to terrify me, the change of the right hand of the Most High."
I recall the deeds of Yah when I remember Your wonder from time immemorial.
And I meditate over all Your works, and I speak of Your deeds.
O God, Your way is in sanctity. Who is a power as great as God?
You are the God Who works wonders, You made known Your might among the peoples.
You redeemed Your people with Your arm, the sons of Jacob and Joseph forever.
The waters perceived You, O God, the waters perceived You, they trembled, even the deeps quaked.
They poured forth thick waters, the skies let out a voice, even your arrows went abroad.
The sound of Your thunder is like a wheel, the lightning illuminated the world, the earth shook and quaked.
In the sea was Your way, and Your path in the mighty waters, and Your steps were not known.
You led Your people like sheep by the hand of Moses and Aaron.

Psalm 78 ↟↟

maskil of Asaph. Hearken, my people, to my instruction, extend your ear to the words of my mouth.
I shall open my mouth with a parable, I shall express riddles from time immemorial.
That we heard and we knew them, and our forefathers told us.
We shall not hide from their sons, to the last generation they will recite the praises of the Lord, and His might and His wonders, which He performed.
And He established testimony in Jacob, and He set down a Torah in Israel, which He commanded our forefathers to make them known to their sons.
In order that the last generation might know, sons who will be born should tell their sons.
And they should put their hope in God, and not forget the deeds of God, and keep His commandments.
And they should not be as their forefathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation, who did not prepare its heart and whose spirit was not faithful to God.
The sons of Ephraim, armed archers, retreated on the day of battle.
They did not keep the covenant of God, and they refused to follow His Torah.
They forgot His deeds and His wonders, which He showed them.
Before their forefathers He wrought wonders, in the land of Egypt, the field of Zoan.
He split the sea and took them across, He made the water stand as a heap.
He led them with a cloud by day, and all night with the light of fire.
He split rocks in the desert and gave them to drink as [from] great deeps.
He drew flowing water from a rock and brought down water like rivers.
But they continued further to sin against Him, to provoke the Most High in the desert.
They tried God in their heart by requesting food for their craving.
And they spoke against God, they said, "Can God set a table in the desert?
True, He struck a rock and water flowed, and streams flooded. Can He give meat too? Can He prepare flesh for His people?"
Therefore, God heard and was incensed, fire was kindled against Jacob, and also wrath ascended upon Israel.
Because they did not believe in God and did not trust in His salvation.
And He had commanded the skies from above, and He had opened the portals of heaven.
He had rained upon them manna to eat, and He had given them corn of heaven.
Men ate the bread of the mighty, He sent them provisions for satisfaction.
He caused the east wind to set forth in heaven, and He led the south wind with His might.
He rained down flesh upon them like dust, and, like the sand of the seas, winged fowl.
And He let it fall in the midst of their camp, around their dwellings.
They ate and were very satisfied, and He brought them their desire.
They were not estranged from their desire, while their food was still in their mouth,
The wrath of God ascended upon them and slew [some] of their stoutest and caused the chosen of Israel to fall.
Despite all this, they sinned again and did not believe despite His wonders.
And He ended their days in vanity and their years in terror.
When He slew them, they would seek Him, and they would repent and pray to God.
And they remembered that God is their rock and the Most High God is their Redeemer.
They beguiled Him with their mouth, and with their tongue they lied to Him.
Their heart was not sincere with Him, they were not faithful in His covenant.
But He is merciful, He expiates iniquity and does not destroy, many times He takes back His wrath and does not arouse all His anger.
He remembers that they are flesh, a spirit that goes away and does not return.
How often they provoked Him in the desert, vexed Him in the wasteland.
They returned and tried God, and they sought a sign from the Holy One of Israel.
They did not remember His hand, the day that He redeemed them from distress.
Who placed His signs in Egypt and His wonders in the field of Zoan.
He turned their canals into blood, and their flowing waters they could not drink.
He incited against them a mixture of wild beasts, which devoured them, and frogs, which mutilated them.
He gave their produce to the finishing locusts and their toil to the increasing locusts.
He killed their vines with hail and their sycamore trees with locusts.
He gave over their animals to the hail and their cattle to the fiery bolts.
He dispatched against them the kindling of His anger-wrath, fury, and trouble, a delegation of evil messengers.
He leveled a path for His anger, He did not withhold their soul from death, and He delivered their body to pestilence.
He smote every firstborn in Egypt, the first fruit of their strength in the tents of Ham.
Then He caused His people to journey like sheep, and He led them as a flock in the desert.
He led them securely and they were not afraid, and the sea covered their enemies.
He brought them to the border of His sanctuary, this mountain that His right hand had acquired.
He drove out nations from before them, and allotted them an inheritance by line, and He caused the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents.
Yet they tried and provoked the Most High God, and did not keep His testimonies.
They turned back and dealt treacherously as their forefathers, they turned around like a deceitful bow.
They provoked Him with their high places, and with their graven images they angered Him.
God heard and became incensed, and He utterly rejected Israel.
And He abandoned the Tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent that He had stationed among men.
He delivered His might into captivity, and His glory into the hand of the adversary.
And He delivered His people to the sword, and He became incensed with His inheritance.
Fire consumed his youths and his virgins were not married.
His priests fell by the sword, but his widows did not weep.
And the Lord awoke as one asleep, as a mighty man, shouting from wine.
And He smote His adversaries from the rear, He gave them perpetual disgrace.
He rejected the tent of Joseph and did not choose the tribe of Ephraim.
He chose the tribe of Judah, Mount Zion, which He loved.
And He built His Sanctuary like the high heavens, like the earth He established it forever.
And He chose His servant David and took him from the sheepcotes.
From behind the nursing ewes He brought him, to shepherd Jacob His people and Israel His heritage.
And He shepherded them according to the integrity of his heart, and with the skill of his hands he led them.

Psalm 79 ↟↟

song of Asaph. O God. Nations have come into Your heritage, they have defiled Your Holy Temple, they have made Jerusalem into heaps.
They have given the corpses of Your servants as food to the birds of the heaven, the flesh of Your pious ones to the beasts of the earth.
They have spilt their blood like water around Jerusalem, and no one buries [them].
We were a disgrace to our neighbors, ridicule and derision to those around us.
How long, O Lord? Will You be wroth forever? Will Your jealousy burn like fire?
Pour out Your wrath upon the nations that do not know You and upon the kingdoms that did not call out in Your name.
For they devoured Jacob and made his dwelling desolate.
Do not remember for us the early iniquities, may Your mercies quickly come before us for we have become very poor.
Help us, O God of our salvation, on account of the glory of Your name, and save us and atone for our sins for Your name's sake.
Why should the nations say, "Where is their God?" Let it be known among the nations before our eyes the revenge of the spilt blood of Your servants.
May the cry of the prisoner come before You, according to the greatness of Your arm, set free the children of the mother who died.
And return to our neighbors sevenfold into their bosom, their reproach with which they reproached You, O Lord.
But we, Your people and the flock of Your pasture, shall thank You forever, to all generations we shall recite Your praise.

Psalm 80 ↟↟

or the conductor, to the roses, a testimony, of Asaph a song.
O Shepherd of Israel, hearken, He Who leads Joseph like flocks, He Who dwells between the cherubim, appear.
Before Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh arouse Your might, and it is for You to save us.
O God, return us, cause Your countenance to shine and we shall be saved.
O Lord God of Hosts, how long have You been wroth at Your people's prayer?
You have fed them bread of tears, and You have given them to drink tears in large measure.
You have made us the target of strife to our neighbors, and our enemies mock themselves.
O God of Hosts, return us, cause Your countenance to shine and we shall be saved.
You uprooted a vine from Egypt, You drove out nations and planted it.
You cleared [a place] before it, it took root and filled the land.
Mountains were covered [by] its shade, and its branches were great cedars.
It sent forth its branches until the sea, and to the river its tender shoots.
Why have You breached its fences, so that all wayfarers have plucked its fruit?
The boar from the forest gnaw at it, and the creeping things of the field graze on it?
O God of Hosts, return now, look from heaven and see, and be mindful of this vine,
And of the foundation that Your right hand has planted and over the son You have strengthened for Yourself.
Burned with fire [and] cut off, from the rebuke of Your countenance they perish.
May Your hand be upon the man of Your right hand, upon the son of man whom You strengthened for Yourself.
And let us not withdraw from You, grant us life, and we shall call out in Your name.
O Lord God of Hosts, return us, cause Your countenance to shine, and we shall be saved.
