Psalms · Chapter 76
In Judah
is Elohim known: his name
is great in Yisra'el.
In Salem also is his mishkan, and his dwelling place in Tsiyon.
There brake he the arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the battle. Selah.
Thou
art more glorious
and excellent than the mountains of prey.
The stouthearted are spoiled, they have slept their sleep: and none of the men of might have found their hands.
At thy rebuke, O Elohim of Ya'aqov, both the chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep.
Thou,
even thou,
art to be feared: and who may stand in thy sight when once thou art angry?
Thou didst cause judgment to be heard from shamayim; the earth feared, and was still,
When Elohim arose to judgment, to save all the meek of the earth. Selah.
Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee: the remainder of wrath shalt thou restrain.
Vow, and pay unto 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) your Elohim: let all that be round about him bring presents unto him that ought to be feared.
He shall cut off the spirit of princes:
he is terrible to the kings of the earth.

Tehillim77
Psalms · Chapter 77
I cried unto Elohim with my voice,
even unto Elohim with my voice; and he gave ear unto me.
In the day of my trouble I sought the master: my sore ran in the night, and ceased not: my nephesh refused to be comforted.
I remembered Elohim, and was troubled: I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. Selah.
Thou holdest mine eyes waking: I am so troubled that I cannot speak.
I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times.
I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with mine own heart: and my spirit made diligent search.
Will the master cast off for ever? and will he be favourable no more?
Is his mercy clean gone for ever? doth
his promise fail for evermore?
Hath Elohim forgotten to be gracious? hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? Selah.
And I said, This
is my infirmity:
but I will remember
the years of the right hand of the most High.
I will remember the works of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH): surely I will remember thy wonders of old.
I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of thy doings.
Thy way, O Elohim,
is in the sanctuary: who
is so
great a Elohim as
our Elohim?
Thou
art the Elohim that doest wonders: thou hast declared thy strength among the people.
Thou hast with
thine arm redeemed thy people, the sons of Ya'aqov and Yoseph. Selah.
The waters saw thee, O Elohim, the waters saw thee; they were afraid: the depths also were troubled.
The clouds poured out water: the skies sent out a sound: thine arrows also went abroad.
The voice of thy thunder
was in the shamayim: the lightnings lightened the world: the earth trembled and shook.
Thy way
is in the sea, and thy path in the great waters, and thy footsteps are not known.
Thou leddest thy people like a flock by the hand of Mosheh and Aharon.

Tehillim78
Psalms · Chapter 78
Give ear, O my people,
to my torah: incline your ears to the words of my mouth.
I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old:
Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us.
We will not hide
them from their children, shewing to the generation to come the praises of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), and his strength, and his wonderful works that he hath done.
For he established a testimony in Ya'aqov, and appointed a torah in Yisra'el, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children:
That the generation to come might know
them, even the children
which should be born;
who should arise and declare
them to their children:
That they might set their hope in Elohim, and not forget the works of Elohim, but keep his mitsvot:
And might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation; a generation
that set not their heart aright, and whose spirit was not stedfast with Elohim.
The children of Ephraim,
being armed,
and carrying bows, turned back in the day of battle.
They kept not the b'rit of Elohim, and refused to walk in his torah;
And forgat his works, and his wonders that he had shewed them.
Marvellous things did he in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Mitsrayim,
in the field of Zoan.
He divided the sea, and caused them to pass through; and he made the waters to stand as an heap.
In the daytime also he led them with a cloud, and all the night with a light of fire.
He clave the rocks in the wilderness, and gave
them drink as
out of the great depths.
He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers.
And they sinned yet more against him by provoking the most High in the wilderness.
And they tempted Elohim in their heart by asking meat for their lust.
Yea, they spake against Elohim; they said, Can Elohim furnish a table in the wilderness?
Behold, he smote the rock, that the waters gushed out, and the streams overflowed; can he give bread also? can he provide flesh for his people?
Therefore 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) heard
this, and was wroth: so a fire was kindled against Ya'aqov, and anger also came up against Yisra'el;
Because they believed not in Elohim, and trusted not in his salvation:
Though he had commanded the clouds from above, and opened the doors of shamayim,
And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them of the corn of shamayim.
Man did eat mal'akhim’ food: he sent them meat to the full.
He caused an east wind to blow in the shamayim: and by his power he brought in the south wind.
He rained flesh also upon them as dust, and feathered fowls like as the sand of the sea:
And he let
it fall in the midst of their camp, round about their habitations.
So they did eat, and were well filled: for he gave them their own desire;
They were not estranged from their lust. But while their meat
was yet in their mouths,
The wrath of Elohim came upon them, and slew the fattest of them, and smote down the chosen
men of Yisra'el.
For all this they sinned still, and believed not for his wondrous works.
Therefore their days did he consume in vanity, and their years in trouble.
When he slew them, then they sought him: and they returned and enquired early after Elohim.
And they remembered that Elohim
was their rock, and the high Elohim their redeemer.
Nevertheless they did flatter him with their mouth, and they lied unto him with their tongues.
For their heart was not right with him, neither were they stedfast in his b'rit.
But he,
being full of compassion, forgave
their
iniquity, and destroyed
them not: yea, many a time turned he his anger away, and did not stir up all his wrath.
For he remembered that they
were but flesh; a wind that passeth away, and cometh not again.
How oft did they provoke him in the wilderness,
and grieve him in the desert!
Yea, they turned back and tempted Elohim, and limited the Holy One of Yisra'el.
They remembered not his hand,
nor the day when he delivered them from the enemy.
How he had wrought his signs in Mitsrayim, and his wonders in the field of Zoan:
And had turned their rivers into blood; and their floods, that they could not drink.
He sent divers sorts of flies among them, which devoured them; and frogs, which destroyed them.
He gave also their increase unto the caterpiller, and their labour unto the locust.
He destroyed their vines with hail, and their sycomore trees with frost.
He gave up their cattle also to the hail, and their flocks to hot thunderbolts.
He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, and indignation, and trouble, by sending evil mal'akhim
among them.
He made a way to his anger; he spared not their nephesh from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence;
And smote all the firstborn in Mitsrayim; the chief of
their
strength in the tabernacles of Ham:
But made his own people to go forth like sheep, and guided them in the wilderness like a flock.
And he led them on safely, so that they feared not: but the sea overwhelmed their enemies.
And he brought them to the border of his sanctuary,
even to
this mountain,
which his right hand had purchased.
He cast out the heathen also before them, and divided them an inheritance by line, and made the tribes of Yisra'el to dwell in their tents.
Yet they tempted and provoked the most high Elohim, and kept not his testimonies:
But turned back, and dealt unfaithfully like their fathers: they were turned aside like a deceitful bow.
For they provoked him to anger with their high places, and moved him to jealousy with their graven images.
When Elohim heard
this, he was wroth, and greatly abhorred Yisra'el:
So that he forsook the mishkan of Shiloh, the tent
which
he placed among men;
And delivered his strength into captivity, and his glory into the enemy’s hand.
He gave his people over also unto the sword; and was wroth with his inheritance.
The fire consumed their young men; and their maidens were not given to marriage.
Their kohanim fell by the sword; and their widows made no lamentation.
Then the master awaked as one out of sleep,
and like a mighty man that shouteth by reason of wine.
And he smote his enemies in the hinder parts: he put them to a perpetual reproach.
Moreover he refused the mishkan of Yoseph, and chose not the tribe of Ephraim:
But chose the tribe of Judah, the mount Tsiyon which he loved.
And he built his sanctuary like high
palaces, like the earth which he hath established for ever.
He chose Dawid also his servant, and took him from the sheepfolds:
From following the ewes great with young he brought him to feed Ya'aqov his people, and Yisra'el his inheritance.
So he fed them according to the integrity of his heart; and guided them by the skilfulness of his hands.
