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 gotten of old, Which thou hast redeemed to be the tribe of thine inheritance; [And] mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt.  

 

 

-

3


 

  Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual ruins, All the evil that the enemy hath done in the sanctuary.  

 

 

-

4


 

  Thine adversaries have roared in the midst of thine assembly; They have set up their ensigns for signs.  

 

 

-

5


 

  They seemed as men that lifted up Axes upon a thicket of trees.  

 

 

-

6


 

  And now all the carved work thereof They break down with hatchet and hammers.  

 

 

-

7


 

  They have set thy sanctuary on fire; They have profaned the dwelling-place of thy name [by casting it] to the ground.  

 

 

-

8


 

  They said in their heart, Let us make havoc of them altogether: 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


 

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

 

 

-

11


 

  Why drawest thou back thy hand, even thy right hand? [Pluck it] out of thy bosom [and] consume [them].  

 

 

-

12


 

  Yet 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 sea-monsters in the waters.  

 

 

-

14


 

  Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces; Thou gavest him to be food to the people inhabiting the wilderness.  

 

 

-

15


 

  Thou didst cleave fountain and 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 Jehovah, And that a foolish people hath blasphemed thy name.  

 

 

-

19


 

  Oh deliver not the soul of thy turtle-dove unto the wild beast: Forget not the life of thy poor for ever.  

 

 

-

20


 

  Have respect unto the covenant; For the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of violence.  

 

 

-

21


 

  Oh 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 all the day.  

 

 

-

23


 

  Forget not the voice of thine adversaries: The tumult of those that rise up against thee ascendeth continually.
