Chapter 74

1


 

  God, why have you rejected us forever? Why does your anger smolder against the sheep of your pasture?  

 

 

-

2


 

  Remember your congregation, which you purchased of old, Which you have redeemed to be the tribe of your inheritance; Mount Zion, in which you have lived.  

 

 

-

3


 

  Lift up your feet to the perpetual ruins, All the evil that the enemy has done in the sanctuary.  

 

 

-

4


 

  Your adversaries have roared in the midst of your assembly. They have set up their standards as signs.  

 

 

-

5


 

  They behaved like men wielding axes, Cutting through a thicket of trees.  

 

 

-

6


 

  Now all its carved work They break down with hatchet and hammers.  

 

 

-

7


 

  They have burned your sanctuary to the ground. They have profaned the dwelling-place of your Name.  

 

 

-

8


 

  They said in their heart, 'We will crush them completely.' They have burned up all the places in the land where God was worshipped.  

 

 

-

9


 

  We see no miraculous signs. There is no longer any prophet, Neither is there among us anyone who knows how long.  

 

 

-

10


 

  How long, God, shall the adversary reproach? Shall the enemy blaspheme your name forever?  

 

 

-

11


 

  Why do you draw back your hand, even your right hand? Take it out of your pocket and consume them!  

 

 

-

12


 

  Yet God is my King of old, Working salvation in the midst of the earth.  

 

 

-

13


 

  You divided the sea by your strength. You broke the heads of the sea monsters in the waters.  

 

 

-

14


 

  You broke the heads of Leviathan in pieces. You gave him as food to people and desert creatures.  

 

 

-

15


 

  You opened up spring and stream. You dried up mighty rivers.  

 

 

-

16


 

  The day is yours, the night is also yours. You have prepared the light and the sun.  

 

 

-

17


 

  You have set all the boundaries of the earth. You have made summer and winter.  

 

 

-

18


 

  Remember this, that the enemy has mocked you, Yahweh. Foolish people have blasphemed your name.  

 

 

-

19


 

  Don't deliver the soul of your dove to wild beasts. Don't forget the life of your poor forever.  

 

 

-

20


 

  Honor your covenant, For haunts of violence fill the dark places of the earth.  

 

 

-

21


 

  Don't let the oppressed return ashamed. Let the poor and needy praise your name.  

 

 

-

22


 

  Arise, God! Plead your own cause. Remember how the foolish man mocks you all day.  

 

 

-

23


 

  Don't forget the voice of your adversaries. The tumult of those who rise up against you ascends continually. Psalm 75 For the Chief Musician. To the tune of 'Do Not Destroy.' A Psalm by Asaph. A song.
