Psalms · Chapter 73
Truly Elohim
is good to Yisra'el,
even to such as are of a clean heart.
But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped.
For I was envious at the foolish,
when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
For
there are no bands in their death: but their strength
is firm.
They
are not in trouble
as other men; neither are they plagued like
other men.
Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain; violence covereth them
as a garment.
Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than heart could wish.
They are corrupt, and speak wickedly
concerning oppression: they speak loftily.
They set their mouth against the shamayim, and their tongue walketh through the earth.
Therefore his people return hither: and waters of a full
cup
are wrung out to them.
And they say, How doth Elohim know? and is there knowledge in the most High?
Behold, these
are the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase
in riches.
Verily I have cleansed my heart
in vain, and washed my hands in innocency.
For all the day long have I been plagued, and chastened every morning.
If I say, I will speak thus; behold, I should offend
against
the generation of thy children.
When I thought to know this, it
was too painful for me;
Until I went into the sanctuary of Elohim;
then understood I their end.
Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou castedst them down into destruction.
How are they
brought into desolation, as in a moment! they are utterly consumed with terrors.
As a dream when
one awaketh;
so, O master, when thou awakest, thou shalt despise their image.
Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins.
So foolish
was I, and ignorant: I was
as a beast before thee.
Nevertheless I
am continually with thee: thou hast holden
me by my right hand.
Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me
to glory.
Whom have I in shamayim
but thee? and
there is none upon earth
that I desire beside thee.
My flesh and my heart faileth:
but Elohim
is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.
For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: thou hast destroyed all them that go a whoring from thee.
But
it is good for me to draw near to Elohim: I have put my trust in the master 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), that I may declare all thy works.

Tehillim74
Psalms · Chapter 74
O Elohim, why hast thou cast us off for ever?
why doth thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture?
Remember thy congregation,
which thou hast purchased of old; the rod of thine inheritance,
which thou hast redeemed; this mount Tsiyon, wherein thou hast dwelt.
Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual desolations;
even all
that the enemy hath done wickedly in the sanctuary.
Thine enemies roar in the midst of thy congregations; they set up their ensigns
for signs.
A man was famous according as he had lifted up axes upon the thick trees.
But now they break down the carved work thereof at once with axes and hammers.
They have cast fire into thy sanctuary, they have defiled
by casting down the dwelling place of thy name to the ground.
They said in their hearts, Let us destroy them together: they have burned up all the synagogues of Elohim in the land.
We see not our signs:
there is no more any navi: neither
is there among us any that knoweth how long.
O Elohim, how long shall the adversary reproach? shall the enemy blaspheme thy name for ever?
Why withdrawest thou thy hand, even thy right hand? pluck
it
out of thy bosom.
For Elohim
is my King of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth.
Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength: thou brakest the heads of the dragons in the waters.
Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces,
and gavest him
to be meat to the people inhabiting the wilderness.
Thou didst cleave the fountain and the flood: thou driedst up mighty rivers.
The day
is thine, the night also
is thine: thou hast prepared the light and the sun.
Thou hast set all the borders of the earth: thou hast made summer and winter.
Remember this,
that the enemy hath reproached, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), and
that the foolish people have blasphemed thy name.
O deliver not the nephesh of thy turtledove unto the multitude
of the wicked: forget not the congregation of thy poor for ever.
Have respect unto the b'rit: for the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of cruelty.
O let not the oppressed return ashamed: let the poor and needy praise thy name.
Arise, O Elohim, plead thine own cause: remember how the foolish man reproacheth thee daily.
Forget not the voice of thine enemies: the tumult of those that rise up against thee increaseth continually.

Tehillim75
Psalms · Chapter 75
Unto thee, O Elohim, do we give thanks,
unto thee do we give thanks: for
that thy name is near thy wondrous works declare.
When I shall receive the congregation I will judge uprightly.
The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I bear up the pillars of it. Selah.
I said unto the fools, Deal not foolishly: and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:
Lift not up your horn on high: speak
not with a stiff neck.
For promotion
cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south.
But Elohim
is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another.
For in the hand of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH)
there is a cup, and the wine is red; it is full of mixture; and he poureth out of the same: but the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall wring
them out,
and drink
them.
But I will declare for ever; I will sing praises to the Elohim of Ya'aqov.
All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off;
but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.
