Psalm 75

God Will Judge with Equity

To the choirmaster: according to Do Not Destroy. A Psalm of Asaph. A Song.

1  kWe give thanks to you, O God;

we give thanks, for your name is near.

We1 recount your wondrous deeds.

2  “At the set time that I appoint

I will judge with equity.

3  When the earth totters, and all its inhabitants,

it is I who keep steady its pillars. Selah

4  I say to the boastful, ‘Do not boast,’

and lto the wicked, ‘Do not lift up your horn;

5  do not lift up your horn on high,

or speak with haughty neck.’”

6  For not from the east or from the west

and not from the wilderness comes lifting up,

7  but it is mGod who executes judgment,

nputting down one and lifting up another.

8  For in the hand of the Lord there is a ocup

with foaming wine, well mixed,

and he pours out from it,

and all the wicked of the earth

shall pdrain it down to the dregs.

9  But I will declare it forever;

I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

10  All the horns of the wicked I will cut off,

but the horns of the righteous shall be lifted up.


Psalm 85

Revive Us Again

To the choirmaster. A Psalm of the Sons of Korah.

1  Lord, you were favorable to your land;

you hrestored the fortunes of Jacob.

2  You iforgave the iniquity of your people;

you jcovered all their sin. Selah

3  You withdrew all your wrath;

you turned from your hot anger.

4  kRestore us again, O God of our salvation,

and put away your indignation toward us!

5  lWill you be angry with us forever?

Will you prolong your anger to all generations?

6  Will you not mrevive us again,

that your people may rejoice in you?

7  Show us your steadfast love, O Lord,

and grant us your salvation.

8  Let me hear what God the Lord will speak,

for he will nspeak peace to his people, to his saints;

but let them not turn back to folly.

9  Surely his osalvation is near to those who fear him,

that pglory may dwell in our land.

10  Steadfast love and faithfulness meet;

righteousness and peace kiss each other.

11  Faithfulness springs up from the ground,

and righteousness looks down from the sky.

12  Yes, qthe Lord will give what is good,

and rour land will yield its increase.

13  Righteousness will go before him

and make his footsteps a way.


Psalm 87

Glorious Things of You Are Spoken

A Psalm of the Sons of Korah. A Song.

1  On the mholy mount stands the city he nfounded;

2  the Lord oloves the gates of Zion

more than all the dwelling places of Jacob.

3  Glorious things of you are spoken,

O pcity of God. Selah

4  Among those who know me I mention qRahab and Babylon;

behold, Philistia and Tyre, with Cush1—

“This one was born there,” they say.

5  And of Zion it shall be said,

“This one and that one were born in her”;

for the Most High himself will restablish her.

6  The Lord records as he registers the peoples,

“This one was born there.” Selah

7  Singers and dancers alike say,

“All my springs are in you.”
