Psalm 74  


Maschil of Asaph.

O God, why hast thou cast us off for ever? why doth thine anger smoke against athe 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; bthey 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 cThey 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: dthere 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 eGod is my King of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth. 13 Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength: fthou brakest the heads of the dragons in the waters. 14 Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces, and gavest him to gbe meat hto the people inhabiting the wilderness. 15 iThou 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 jset all the borders of the earth: thou hast made summer and winter.

18 kRemember this, that the enemy hath reproached, O LORD, and that the foolish people have blasphemed thy name. 19 O deliver not the soul lof thy turtledove unto the multitude of the wicked: forget not the congregation of thy poor for ever. 20 mHave respect unto the covenant: for the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of cruelty. 21 O let not the noppressed return ashamed: let the poor and needy praise thy name. 22 Arise, O God, plead thine own cause: remember how the foolish man reproacheth othee daily. 23 Forget not the voice of thine enemies: the tumult of those that rise up against thee increaseth continually.
