Psalm 74

74[A Maskil of Asaph.] Why have You rejected [us] forever, God? Why does Your anger burn against the sheep of Your pasture?H4905H623H430H2186H5331H639H6225H6629H48302Remember Your congregation, which You purchased long ago and redeemed as the tribe for Your own possession. [Remember] Mount Zion where You dwell.H2142H5712H7069H6924H7626H5159H1350H2022H6726H79313Make Your way to the everlasting ruins, to all that the enemy has destroyed in the sanctuary.H7311H6471H5331H4876H341H7489H69444Your adversaries roared in the meeting place where You met with us. They set up their emblems as signs.H6887H7580H7130H4150H7760H226H2265It was like men in a thicket of trees, wielding axes,H3045H935H4605H7134H5442H60866then smashing all the carvings with hatchets and picks.H1986H6603H3162H3781H35977They set Your sanctuary on fire; they utterly desecrated the dwelling place of Your name.H7971H784H4720H2490H4908H8034H7768They said in their hearts, "Let us oppress them relentlessly." They burned down every place throughout the land where God met with us.H559H3820H3238H3162H8313H4150H410H7769We don't see any signs for us. There is no longer a prophet. And none of us knows how long this will last.H7200H226H5030H3045H570410God, how long will the foe mock? Will the enemy insult Your name forever?H430H6862H2778H341H5006H8034H533111Why do You hold back Your hand? Stretch out Your right hand and destroy [them]!H7725H3027H3225H3615H7130H2436H243612God my king is from ancient times, performing saving acts on the earth.H430H4428H6924H6466H3444H7130H77613You divided the sea with Your strength; You smashed the heads of the sea monsters in the waters;H6565H3220H5797H7665H7218H8577H432514You crushed the heads of Leviathan; You fed him to the creatures of the desert.H7533H7218H3882H5414H3978H5971H672815You opened up springs and streams; You dried up ever-flowing rivers.H1234H4599H5158H3001H386H510416The day is Yours, also the night; You established the moon and the sun.H3117H3915H3559H3974H812117You set all the boundaries of the earth; You made summer and winter.H5324H1367H776H3335H7019H277918Remember this: the enemy has mocked the LORD, and a foolish people has insulted Your name.H2142H341H2778H3068H5036H5971H5006H803419Do not give the life of Your dove to beasts; do not forget the lives of Your poor people forever.H5414H5315H8449H2416H7911H2416H6041H533120Consider the covenant, for the dark places of the land are full of violence.H5027H1285H4285H776H4390H4999H255521Do not let the oppressed turn away in shame; let the poor and needy praise Your name.H1790H7725H3637H6041H34H1984H803422Arise, God, defend Your cause! Remember the insults that fools bring against You all day long.H6965H430H7378H7379H2142H5036H2781H311723Do not forget the clamor of Your adversaries, the tumult of Your opponents that goes up constantly.H7911H6963H6887H7588H6965H5927H8548
