Dear Reader:
I have continued to have problems with the website where I get my pslams. However, I have a CD disc with the edtiion of the Geneva Bible. By working along with my NKJ version that contains various cross scripture references, plus what I know and remember from reading I have been able to put together a daily post.
It is quite possible that this is what will be neccessary for some time, but it is indeed a labor of love. To be honest, it did not require anymore or any less time to do it in this manner.

Psalm 79
Psalm committed to Asaph.
1 O God, 1the 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 the 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, (a)
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?(b) let them be known among the heathen
in our sight by the vengeance of the blood of thy
servants that is shed.
11 Let the sighing of the prisoners come before (c)
thee: according to thy mighty arm preserve the
children of death,
12 And render to our neighbors sevenfold into
their bosom their reproach, wherewith they have
reproached thee, O Lord.
13 So we thy people, and sheep of thy pasture (d)
shall praise thee forever: and from generation to
generation we will set forth thy praise.
(a) Verse 8
Editor’s note - Forgive our trespasses
Matthew 6:12,14
12 And forgive us our debts, as we also forgive
our debtors.
14For if ye do forgive men their trespasses, your
heavenly Father will also forgive you.
2 Corinthians 5:19
19 For God was in Christ, and reconciled the world
to himself, not imputing their sins unto them, and
hath committed to us the word of reconciliation.
Colossians 2:13
13 And you which were dead in sins, and in the
uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together
with him, forgiving you all your trespasses,
(b) Verse 10
Joel 2:17
17 Let the Priests, the ministers of the Lord,
weep between the porch and the altar, and let them
say, Spare thy people, O Lord, and give not thine
heritage into reproach, that the heathen should rule
over them. Wherefore should they say among the
people, Where is their God?
Luke 23:35
35 And the people stood, and beheld: and the rulers
mocked him with them, saying, He saved others: let
him save himself, if he be that Christ the Chosen
of God.
Matthew 27:39 - 43
39 And they that passed by, reviled him, wagging
their heads,
40 And saying, Thou that destroyest the Temple,
and buildest it in three days, save thyself: if thou be
the Son of God, come down from the cross.
4 Likewise also the high Priests mocking him,
with the Scribes, and Elders, and Pharisees, said,
42 He saved others, but he cannot save himself:
if he be the king of Israel, let him now come down
from the cross, and we will believe in him.
43 He trusted in God, let him deliver him now, if
he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God.
(c) Verse 11
Acts 12:5 - 7
5 So Peter was kept in prison, but earnest prayer
was made of the Church unto God for him.
6 And when Herod would have brought him out
unto the people, the same night slept Peter between
two soldiers, bound with two chains, and the keepers
before the door, kept the prison.
7 And behold the Angel of the Lord came upon
them, and a light shined in the 1house, and he smote
Peter on the side, and raised him up, saying, Arise
quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands.
(d) Verse 13
Matthew 25:33 - 40
33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand,
and the goats on the left.
34 Then shall the king say to them on his right
hand, Come ye blessed of my father: take the
inheritance of the kingdom prepared for you from
the foundation of the world.
35 For I was an hungered, and ye gave me meat:
I thirsted, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger,
and ye took me in unto you.
36 I was naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick,
and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto
me.
37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying,
Lord, when saw we thee an hungered, and fed thee?
or athirst, and gave thee drink?
38 And when saw we thee a stranger, and took
thee in unto us? or naked, and clothed thee?
39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and
came unto thee?
40 And the king shall answer, and say unto them,
Verily I say unto you, inasmuch as ye have done it
unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have
done it to me.
Editor’s note - I am for some reason in vs. 37 of Matthew above, am reminded of Revelations 7:9 - 12
9 After these things I beheld, and lo, a great
multitude, which no man could number, of all nations
and kindreds, and people, and tongues stood
before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with
long white robes, and palms in their hands.
10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying,
Salvation cometh of our God, that sitteth upon the
throne, and of the Lamb.
11 And all the Angels stood round about the
throne, and about the Elders, and the four beasts,
and they fell before the throne on their faces, and
worshipped God,
12 Saying, Amen, Praise and glory, and wisdom,
and thanks, and honor, and power, and might, be
unto our God for evermore, Amen.
