Psalm 74

Psalm 74:1-23

74
Chapter 74
1 A Maskil of Asaph. Why, God, have you rejected us forever? Your anger smokes against the flock of your shepherding. 2 Remember your congregation, which you acquired of old, which you redeemed, the tribe of your inheritance, Mount Zion, where you dwelt. 3 Raise your feet to the oracular burdens—eternal all the moral evil of the enemy in the sanctuary. 4 Your foes roared in the midst of your moʿēd; they set your ʾōtōt, signs. 5 One knows it as bringing upward axes in a thicket of wood. 6 And now they have opened its doors together with axes, and with mattocks they will hammer. 7 They sent your sanctuary into fire to the ground; they profaned the tabernacle of your name. 8 They said in their heart, "Extinguish them together." They burned all God's appointed times in the earth. 9 We have not seen our signs; there is no longer a prophet, and no one among us knows until when. 10 How long, God, will the foe reproach you, will the enemy despise your name forever? 11 Why do you withdraw your hand and your right hand from your bosom? Put an end to it. 12 But my God and King from of old has worked salvations in the midst of the earth. 13 You broke the Sea in pieces by your might; you shattered the heads of sea monsters on the waters. 14 You crushed the heads of Leviathan; you gave it as food to the people inhabiting the wilderness, to the sea monsters. 15 You split open spring and stream; you dried up mighty rivers. 16 To you belongs the day; to you, the night. You established the light and the sun. 17 You set all the boundaries of the earth; you made summer and winter. 18 Remember this: the enemy has reproached the LORD, and foolish people have despised your name. 19 Do not deliver to the beast the life of your turtledove, the life of your afflicted ones; do not forget forever. 20 Look to the covenant, for the dark places of the land have filled dwellings of violence. 21 Let not the oppressed be ashamed; let the poor and needy praise your name. 22 Rise, God, conduct your legal dispute; remember your reproach from the fool all the day. 23 Do not forget the voice of your oppressors; the tumult of those who rise up against you ascends continually.
