Bible Reading for May 05

Psalms 73
[1] Truly God is good to Israel, even to such as are of a clean heart. [2] But
as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped. [3] For I
was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
[4] For there are no bands in their death: but their strength is firm. [5] They
are not in trouble as other men; neither are they plagued like other men.
[6] Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain; violence covereth them as
a garment.
[7] Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than heart could wish.
[8] They are corrupt, and speak wickedly concerning oppression: they speak
loftily.
[9] They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue walketh through
the earth.
[10] Therefore his people return hither: and waters of a full cup are wrung out
to them.
[11] And they say, How doth God know? and is there knowledge in the most High?
[12] Behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase in
riches.
[13] Verily I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands in innocency.
[14] For all the day long have I been plagued, and chastened every morning.
[15] If I say, I will speak thus; behold, I should offend against the
generation of thy children.
[16] When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me; [17] Until I went
into the sanctuary of God; then understood I their end. [18] Surely thou didst
set them in slippery places: thou castedst them down into destruction.
[19] How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment! they are utterly
consumed with terrors.
[20] As a dream when one awaketh; so, O Lord, when thou awakest, thou shalt
despise their image.
[21] Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins. [22] So foolish
was I, and ignorant: I was as a beast before thee. [23] Nevertheless I am
continually with thee: thou hast holden me by my right hand.
[24] Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory.
[25] Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire
beside thee.
[26] My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my
portion for ever.
[27] For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: thou hast destroyed all
them that go a whoring from thee. [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.

Psalms 74
[1] O God, why hast thou cast us off for ever? why doth thine anger smoke
against the sheep of thy pasture?
[2] Remember thy congregation, which thou hast purchased of old; the rod of
thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed; this mount Zion, wherein thou hast
dwelt.
[3] Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual desolations; even all that the enemy
hath done wickedly in the sanctuary. [4] Thine enemies roar in the midst of thy
congregations; they set up their ensigns for signs.
[5] A man was famous according as he had lifted up axes upon the thick trees.
[6] But now they break down the carved work thereof at once with axes and
hammers.
[7] They have cast fire into thy sanctuary, they have defiled by casting down
the dwelling place of thy name to the ground. [8] They said in their hearts,
Let us destroy them together: they have burned up all the synagogues of God in
the land. [9] We see not our signs: there is no more any prophet: neither is
there among us any that knoweth how long. [10] O God, how long shall the
adversary reproach? shall the enemy blaspheme thy name for ever?
[11] Why withdrawest thou thy hand, even thy right hand? pluck it out of thy
bosom.
[12] For God is my King of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth.
[13] Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength: thou brakest the heads of the
dragons in the waters.
[14] Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces, and gavest him to be meat
to the people inhabiting the wilderness. [15] Thou didst cleave the fountain
and the flood: thou driedst up mighty rivers.
[16] The day is thine, the night also is thine: thou hast prepared the light
and the sun.
[17] Thou hast set all the borders of the earth: thou hast made summer and
winter.
[18] Remember this, that the enemy hath reproached, O LORD, and that the
foolish people have blasphemed thy name. [19] O deliver not the soul of thy
turtledove unto the multitude of the wicked: forget not the congregation of thy
poor for ever. [20] Have respect unto the covenant: for the dark places of the
earth are full of the habitations of cruelty. [21] O let not the oppressed
return ashamed: let the poor and needy praise thy name.
[22] Arise, O God, plead thine own cause: remember how the foolish man
reproacheth thee daily.
[23] Forget not the voice of thine enemies: the tumult of those that rise up
against thee increaseth continually.

Psalms 75
[1] Unto thee, O God, do we give thanks, unto thee do we give thanks: for that
thy name is near thy wondrous works declare. [2] When I shall receive the
congregation I will judge uprightly. [3] The earth and all the inhabitants
thereof are dissolved: I bear up the pillars of it. Selah.
[4] I said unto the fools, Deal not foolishly: and to the wicked, Lift not up
the horn:
[5] Lift not up your horn on high: speak not with a stiff neck. [6] For
promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south.
[7] But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another. [8] For
in the hand of the LORD 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. [9] But I will declare for
ever; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob. [10] All the horns of the wicked
also will I cut off; but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.
