Chapter 74

1


 

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

 

 

-

2


 

  Remember thy congregation, which thou hast purchased of old: the rod of thy inheritance, which thou hast redeemed; this mount Zion, in which thou hast dwelt.  

 

 

-

3


 

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

 

 

-

4


 

  Thy 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 of it 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 didst break the heads of the dragons in the waters.  

 

 

-

14


 

  Thou didst break the head of leviathan in pieces, and didst give him to be food to the people inhabiting the wilderness.  

 

 

-

15


 

  Thou didst cleave the fountain and the flood: thou didst dry 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, the enemy hath reproached, O LORD, and the foolish people have blasphemed thy name.  

 

 

-

19


 

  O deliver not the soul of thy turtle dove to the multitude of the wicked: forget not the congregation of thy poor for ever.  

 

 

-

20


 

  Have respect to 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 thy own cause: remember how the foolish man reproacheth thee daily.  

 

 

-

23


 

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