Psalms 74:1 - Prayer Tents

74[A Maskil of Asaph.] O God, why do you cast us off forever? Why does your anger smoke against the sheep of your pasture?H4905H623H430H2186H5331H639H6225H6629H4830 2Remember your congregation, which you have purchased of old, which you have redeemed to be the tribe of your heritage! Remember Mount Zion, where you have dwelt.H2142H5712H7069H6924H7626H5159H1350H2022H6726H7931 3Direct your steps to the perpetual ruins; the enemy has destroyed everything in the sanctuary!H7311H6471H5331H4876H341H7489H6944 4Your foes have roared in the midst of your meeting place; they set up their own signs for signs.H6887H7580H7130H4150H7760H226H226 5They were like those who swing axes in a forest of trees.H3045H935H4605H7134H5442H6086 6And all its carved wood they broke down with hatchets and hammers.H1986H6603H3162H3781H3597 7They set your sanctuary on fire; they profaned the dwelling place of your name, bringing it down to the ground.H7971H784H4720H2490H4908H8034H776 8They said to themselves, "We will utterly subdue them"; they burned all the meeting places of God in the land.H559H3820H3238H3162H8313H4150H410H776 9We do not see our signs; there is no longer any prophet, and there is none among us who knows how long.H7200H226H5030H3045H5704 10How long, O God, is the foe to scoff? Is the enemy to revile your name forever?H430H6862H2778H341H5006H8034H5331 11Why do you hold back your hand, your right hand? Take it from the fold of your garment and destroy them!H7725H3027H3225H3615H7130H2436H2436 12Yet God my King is from of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth.H430H4428H6924H6466H3444H7130H776 13You divided the sea by your might; you broke the heads of the sea monsters on the waters.H6565H3220H5797H7665H7218H8577H4325 14You crushed the heads of Leviathan; you gave him as food for the creatures of the wilderness.H7533H7218H3882H5414H3978H5971H6728 15You split open springs and brooks; you dried up ever-flowing streams.H1234H4599H5158H3001H386H5104 16Yours is the day, yours also the night; you have established the heavenly lights and the sun.H3117H3915H3559H3974H8121 17You have fixed all the boundaries of the earth; you have made summer and winter.H5324H1367H776H3335H7019H2779 18Remember this, O LORD, how the enemy scoffs, and a foolish people reviles your name.H2142H341H2778H3068H5036H5971H5006H8034 19Do not deliver the soul of your dove to the wild beasts; do not forget the life of your poor forever.H5414H5315H8449H2416H7911H2416H6041H5331 20Have regard for the covenant, for the dark places of the land are full of the habitations of violence.H5027H1285H4285H776H4390H4999H2555 21Let not the downtrodden turn back in shame; let the poor and needy praise your name.H1790H7725H3637H6041H34H1984H8034 22Arise, O God, defend your cause; remember how the foolish scoff at you all the day!H6965H430H7378H7379H2142H5036H2781H3117 23Do not forget the clamor of your foes, the uproar of those who rise against you, which goes up continually!H7911H6963H6887H7588H6965H5927H8548
