Our help is in the Lord

 

Psa 72:1  Give the king thy judgments, O God, and thy righteousness unto the king’s son.

Psa 72:2  He shall judge thy people with righteousness, and thy poor with judgment.

Psa 72:3  The mountains shall bring peace to the people, and the little hills, by righteousness.

Psa 72:4  He shall judge the poor of the people, he shall save the children of the needy, and shall break in pieces the oppressor.

Psa 72:5  They shall fear thee as long as the sun and moon endure, throughout all generations.

Psa 72:6  He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass: as showers that water the earth.

Psa 72:7  In his days shall the righteous flourish; and abundance of peace so long as the moon endureth.

Psa 72:8  He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth.

Psa 72:9  They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him; and his enemies shall lick the dust.

Psa 72:10  The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring presents: the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.

Psa 72:11  Yea, all kings shall fall down before him: all nations shall serve him.

Psa 72:12  For he shall deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor also, and him that hath no helper.

Psa 72:13  He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall save the souls of the needy.

Psa 72:14  He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence: and precious shall their blood be in his sight.

Psa 72:15  And he shall live, and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba: prayer also shall be made for him continually; and daily shall he be praised.

Psa 72:16  There shall be an handful of corn in the earth upon the top of the mountains; the fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon: and they of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth.

Psa 72:17  His name shall endure for ever: his name shall be continued as long as the sun: and men shall be blessed in him: all nations shall call him blessed.

Psa 72:18  Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, who only doeth wondrous things.

Psa 72:19  And blessed be his glorious name for ever: and let the whole earth be filled with his glory; Amen, and Amen.

Psa 72:20  The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.

 

Psa 73:1  A Psalm of Asaph. Truly God is good to Israel, even to such as are of a clean heart.

Psa 73:2  But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped.

Psa 73:3  For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.

Psa 73:4  For there are no bands in their death: but their strength is firm.

Psa 73:5  They are not in trouble as other men; neither are they plagued like other men.

Psa 73:6  Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain; violence covereth them as a garment.

Psa 73:7  Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than heart could wish.

Psa 73:8  They are corrupt, and speak wickedly concerning oppression: they speak loftily.

Psa 73:9  They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue walketh through the earth.

Psa 73:10  Therefore his people return hither: and waters of a full cup are wrung out to them.

Psa 73:11  And they say, How doth God know? and is there knowledge in the most High?

Psa 73:12  Behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase in riches.

Psa 73:13  Verily I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands in innocency.

Psa 73:14  For all the day long have I been plagued, and chastened every morning.

Psa 73:15  If I say, I will speak thus; behold, I should offend against the generation of thy children.

Psa 73:16  When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me;

Psa 73:17  Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood I their end.

Psa 73:18  Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou castedst them down into destruction.

Psa 73:19  How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment! they are utterly consumed with terrors.

Psa 73:20  As a dream when one awaketh; so, O Lord, when thou awakest, thou shalt despise their image.

Psa 73:21  Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins.

Psa 73:22  So foolish was I, and ignorant: I was as a beast before thee.

Psa 73:23  Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast holden me by my right hand.

Psa 73:24  Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory.

Psa 73:25  Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee.

Psa 73:26  My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.

Psa 73:27  For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: thou hast destroyed all them that go a whoring from thee.

Psa 73:28  But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all thy works.
