PSALM 76 "The MAJESTY of GOD in JUDGMENT"
recorded for your spiritual enrichment by vanderKOK

76:1 The Majesty of God in Judgment
To the Chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A Psalm of Asaph. A Song.
In Judah God is known;His name is great in Israel. 2 In Salem also is His tabernacle,And His dwelling place in Zion. 3 There He broke the arrows of the bow,The shield and sword of battle.Selah
4 You are more glorious and excellent Than the mountains of prey. 5 The stouthearted were plundered;They have sunk into their sleep;And none of the mighty men have found the use of their hands. 6 At Your rebuke, O God of Jacob,Both the chariot and horse were cast into a dead sleep.
7 You, Yourself, are to be feared;And who may stand in Your presence When once You are angry? 8 You caused judgment to be heard from heaven;The earth feared and was still, 9 When God arose to judgment,To deliver all the oppressed of the earth.Selah
10 Surely the wrath of man shall praise You;With the remainder of wrath You shall gird Yourself.
11 Make vows to the LORD your God, and pay them;Let all who are around Him bring presents to Him who ought to be feared. 12 He shall cut off the spirit of princes;He is awesome to the kings of the earth.
NKJV

PSALM 77 "The CONSOLING MEMORY of GOD's REDEMPTIVE WORK"
recorded for your spiritual enrichment by vanderKOK

77:1 The Consoling Memory of God's Redemptive Works
To the Chief Musician. To Jeduthun. A Psalm of Asaph.
I cried out to God with my voice — To God with my voice;And He gave ear to me. 2 In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord;My hand was stretched out in the night without ceasing;My soul refused to be comforted. 3 I remembered God, and was troubled;I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed.Selah
4 You hold my eyelids open;I am so troubled that I cannot speak. 5 I have considered the days of old,The years of ancient times. 6 I call to remembrance my song in the night;I meditate within my heart,And my spirit makes diligent search.
7 Will the Lord cast off forever?And will He be favorable no more? 8 Has His mercy ceased forever?Has His promise failed forevermore? 9 Has God forgotten to be gracious?Has He in anger shut up His tender mercies?Selah
10 And I said, "This is my anguish;But I will remember the years of the right hand of the Most High." 11 I will remember the works of the LORD;Surely I will remember Your wonders of old. 12 I will also meditate on all Your work,And talk of Your deeds. 13 Your way, O God, is in the sanctuary;Who is so great a God as our God? 14 You are the God who does wonders;You have declared Your strength among the peoples. 15 You have with Your arm redeemed Your people,The sons of Jacob and Joseph.Selah
16 The waters saw You, O God;The waters saw You, they were afraid;The depths also trembled. 17 The clouds poured out water;The skies sent out a sound;Your arrows also flashed about. 18 The voice of Your thunder was in the whirlwind;The lightnings lit up the world;The earth trembled and shook. 19 Your way was in the sea,Your path in the great waters,And Your footsteps were not known. 20 You led Your people like a flock By the hand of Moses and Aaron.
