Chapter 74

1


 

  Maschil of Asaph. O God, why hast thou cast [us] off for ever? [why] doth thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture?  

 

 

--

2


 

  Remember thy congregation, [which] thou hast purchased of old; the rod of thine inheritance, [which] thou hast redeemed; this mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt.  

 

 

--

3


 

  Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual desolations; [even] all [that] the enemy hath done wickedly in the sanctuary.  

 

 

--

4


 

  Thine enemies roar in the midst of thy congregations; they set up their ensigns [for] signs.  

 

 

--

5


 

  [A man] was famous according as he had lifted up axes upon the thick trees.  

 

 

--

6


 

  But now they break down the carved work thereof at once with axes and hammers.  

 

 

--

7


 

  They have cast fire into thy sanctuary, they have defiled [by casting down] the dwelling place of thy name to the ground.  

 

 

--

8


 

  They said in their hearts, Let us destroy them together: they have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land.  

 

 

--

9


 

  We see not our signs: [there is] no more any prophet: neither [is there] among us any that knoweth how long.  

 

 

--

10


 

  O God, how long shall the adversary reproach? shall the enemy blaspheme thy name for ever?  

 

 

--

11


 

  Why withdrawest thou thy hand, even thy right hand? pluck [it] out of thy bosom.  

 

 

--

12


 

  For God [is] my King of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth.  

 

 

--

13


 

  Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength: thou brakest the heads of the dragons in the waters.  

 

 

--

14


 

  Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces, [and] gavest him [to be] meat to the people inhabiting the wilderness.  

 

 

--

15


 

  Thou didst cleave the fountain and the flood: thou driedst up mighty rivers.  

 

 

--

16


 

  The day [is] thine, the night also [is] thine: thou hast prepared the light and the sun.  

 

 

--

17


 

  Thou hast set all the borders of the earth: thou hast made summer and winter.  

 

 

--

18


 

  Remember this, [that] the enemy hath reproached, O LORD, and [that] the foolish people have blasphemed thy name.  

 

 

--

19


 

  O deliver not the soul of thy turtledove unto the multitude [of the wicked]: forget not the congregation of thy poor for ever.  

 

 

--

20


 

  Have respect unto the covenant: for the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of cruelty.  

 

 

--

21


 

  O let not the oppressed return ashamed: let the poor and needy praise thy name.  

 

 

--

22


 

  Arise, O God, plead thine own cause: remember how the foolish man reproacheth thee daily.  

 

 

--

23


 

  Forget not the voice of thine enemies: the tumult of those that rise up against thee increaseth continually.  

 

 

--
