Psalms 74:1 - Prayer Tents

74Why have you abandoned us like this, O God? Will you be angry with your own people forever?H4905H623H430H2186H5331H639H6225H6629H4830 2Remember your people, whom you chose for yourself long ago, whom you brought out of slavery to be your own tribe. Remember Mount Zion, where once you lived.H2142H5712H7069H6924H7626H5159H1350H2022H6726H7931 3Walk over these total ruins; our enemies have destroyed everything in the Temple.H7311H6471H5331H4876H341H7489H6944 4Your enemies have shouted in triumph in your Temple; they have placed their flags there as signs of victory.H6887H7580H7130H4150H7760H226H226 5They looked like woodsmen cutting down trees with their axes.H3045H935H4605H7134H5442H6086 6They smashed all the wooden panels with their axes and sledge hammers.H1986H6603H3162H3781H3597 7They wrecked your Temple and set it on fire; they desecrated the place where you are worshiped.H7971H784H4720H2490H4908H8034H776 8They wanted to crush us completely; they burned down every holy place in the land.H559H3820H3238H3162H8313H4150H410H776 9All our sacred symbols are gone; there are no prophets left, and no one knows how long this will last.H7200H226H5030H3045H5704 10How long, O God, will our enemies laugh at you? Will they insult your name forever?H430H6862H2778H341H5006H8034H5331 11Why have you refused to help us? Why do you keep your hands behind you?H7725H3027H3225H3615H7130H2436H2436 12But you have been our king from the beginning, O God; you have saved us many times.H430H4428H6924H6466H3444H7130H776 13With your mighty strength you divided the sea and smashed the heads of the sea monsters;H6565H3220H5797H7665H7218H8577H4325 14you crushed the heads of the monster Leviathan and fed his body to desert animals.H7533H7218H3882H5414H3978H5971H6728 15You made springs and fountains flow; you dried up large rivers.H1234H4599H5158H3001H386H5104 16You created the day and the night; you set the sun and the moon in their places;H3117H3915H3559H3974H8121 17you set the limits of the earth; you made summer and winter.H5324H1367H776H3335H7019H2779 18But remember, O LORD, that your enemies laugh at you, that they are godless and despise you.H2142H341H2778H3068H5036H5971H5006H8034 19Don't abandon your helpless people to their cruel enemies; don't forget your persecuted people!H5414H5315H8449H2416H7911H2416H6041H5331 20Remember the covenant you made with us. There is violence in every dark corner of the land.H5027H1285H4285H776H4390H4999H2555 21Don't let the oppressed be put to shame; let those poor and needy people praise you.H1790H7725H3637H6041H34H1984H8034 22Rouse yourself, God, and defend your cause! Remember that godless people laugh at you all day long.H6965H430H7378H7379H2142H5036H2781H3117 23Don't forget the angry shouts of your enemies, the continuous noise made by your foes.H7911H6963H6887H7588H6965H5927H8548
