Psalms 78-150 - Geneva Bible

69
And he built his Sanctuary as an high palace, like the earth, which he
established forever.
70
He chose David also his servant, and took him from the sheepfolds.
71
Even from behind the ewes with young brought he him to feed his people in
Jacob, and his inheritance in Israel.
72
So he fed them according to the simplicity of his heart, and guided them by the
discretion of his hands.
Psalm 79
1 A Psalm committed to Asaph. O God, the heathen are come into thine
inheritance: thine holy Temple have they defiled, and made Jerusalem heaps of
stones.
2
The dead bodies of thy servants have they given to be meat unto fowls of ye
heaven: and the flesh of thy Saints unto the beasts of the earth.
3
Their blood have they shed like waters round about Jerusalem, and there was
none to bury them.
4
We are a reproach to our neighbors, even a scorn and derision unto them that
are round about us.
5
Lord, how long wilt thou be angry, forever? shall thy jealousy burn like fire?
6
Pour out thy wrath upon the heathen that have not known thee, and upon the
kingdoms that have not called upon thy Name.
7
For they have devoured Jacob and made his dwelling place desolate.
8
Remember not against us the former iniquities, but make haste and let thy
tender mercies prevent us: for we are in great misery.
9
Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of thy Name, and deliver us, and
be merciful unto our sins for thy Name’s sake.
10
Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is their God? let him be known
among the heathen in our sight by the vengeance of the blood of thy servants
that is shed.
