glorious name never and that the whole earth be filled with his glory on and the prayers of David son of Jesse our end [Music] Psalm 73 a psalm of Asaph truly God is good to Israel to such as our pure in heart but as for me my feet had almost stumbled my steps that nearly slipped where I was envious of the boastful when I saw the prosperity of the wicked well there are no pangs in their death but their strength is firm they are not in trouble as other men nor they played like other men there for pride that serves as their necklace violence covers them like a garment their eyes bulge with abundance they have more than heart that wish they scoff and speak wickedly concerning oppression they speak lawfully they set their mouth against the heavens and their tongue walks through the earth therefore his people return here and waters of a full cup are drained by them and they say how does God know and is their knowledge in the Most High behold these are the ungodly who are always at ease they increase in riches surely I have cleansed my heart in vain and washed my hands in innocence for all day long I have been plagued and chastened every morning if I had said I will speak thus behold I would have been untrue to the generation of your children when I thought how to understand this it was too painful for me until I went into the sanctuary of God then I understood their end surely you set them in Slippery places you cast them down to destruction oh how they are brought to desolation as in a moment they are utterly consumed with terrors as a dream when one wakes so Lord when you awake you shall despise their image thus my heart was grieved and I was vexed in my mind I was so foolish and ignorant that was like a beast before you nevertheless I'm continually with you you hold me by my right hand you will guide me with your counsel and afterward receive me to glory whom have I in heaven but you and there is none upon earth that I desire besides you my flesh and my heart fail but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever for indeed those who are far from you Shall Perish you have destroyed all those who desert you for harlotry 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 your works Psalm 74 a contemplation of ASA Oh God why have you cast us off forever why does your anger smoke against the sheep of your pasture remember your congregation which you have purchased all the tribe of your inheritance which you have redeemed is Mount Zion where you have dwelt lift up your feet to the perpetual desolations the enemy has damaged everything in the sanctuary your enemy's roar in the midst of your meeting place they set up their banners for signs they seem like men who lift up axes among the thick trees and now they break down its carved work all at once with axes and hammers they have set fire to your sanctuary they have defiled the dwelling place of your name to the ground they said in their hearts let us destroy them all together they have burned up all the meeting places of God in the land we do not see our signs there is no longer any profit nor is there any among us who knows how long oh God how long will the adversary reproach will the enemy blaspheme your name forever why do you withdraw your hand even your right hand take it out of your bosom and destroy them for God is my king from of old working salvation in the midst of the earth you divided the sea by your strength you broke the heads of the sea serpents in the waters you broke the heads of Leviathan in pieces and gave him his food to the people inhabit in the wilderness you broke open the fountain and the blood you dried up mighty rivers the day is yours the night also is yours you have prepared the light and the Sun you have set all the borders of the earth you have made summer in winter remember this that the enemy has were approached the Lord and that are foolish people as blaspheme your name oh do not deliver the life of your Turtledove to the wild beasts do not forget the life of your poor forever have respect to the Covenant for the dark places of the earth are full of the haunts of cruelty oh do not let the oppressed returned ashamed let the poor and needy praise your name arise O God plead your own cause remember how the foolish man reproaches you daily do not forget the voice of your enemies the tumult of those who rise up against you increases continuing [Music] from 75 took a chief musician set to do not destroy a psalm of Asaph a song we give thanks to you O God we give thanks for your wondrous works declare that your name is near when I choose the proper time I will judge uprightly the earth and all its inhabitants are dissolved I set up its pillars firmly I said to the boastful do not deal boastfully and to the wicked do not lift up the horn do not lift up your horn on high do not speak with a stiff neck or exaltation comes neither from the east nor from the West nor from the south but God is the judge he puts down one and exalts another for in the hand of the Lord there is a cup and line is read it is fully mixed and He pours it out surely it's dregs shall all the wicked of the earth drain and drink down but I will declare forever I will sing praises to the God of Jacob all the horns of the wicked I will also cut off but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted [Music] audible hopes you have enjoyed this program you
