Psalm 75 - another one by Asaph. God is judge. No one can exalt oneself, but it is God who exalts a person.
Psalm 76 - another by Asaph. God provides victory and is to be feared.
Psalm 77 - another by Asaph. This one praises God for redeeming the Israelites and God's work at the hands of Moses and Aaron.
Psalm 78 - another by Asaph. This one is very unique in that it recounts the history of the Israelites from their time in Egypt. It recounts a good portion of the plagues individually and even suggests that it was a "band of angels" not a single individual one, that was responsible for slaying the firstborn. It also recounts some of the events of the Exodus, including the Red Sea, water from rock, and then calls manna the "bread of angels". It jumps from the Exodus to generally touching the conquest to end with praising David as God's chosen shepherd for Israel.
