Psalms 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?
| מַשְׂכִּיל לְאָסָף לָמָה אֱלֹהִים זָנַחְתָּ לָנֶצַח יֶעְשַׁן אַפְּךָ בְּצֹאן מַרְעִיתֶֽךָ׃ |
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.
| זְכֹר עֲדָֽתְךָ ׀ קָנִיתָ קֶּדֶם גָּאַלְתָּ שֵׁבֶט נַחֲלָתֶךָ הַר־צִיּוֹן זֶה ׀ שָׁכַנְתָּ בּֽוֹ׃ |
3 Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual ruins, All the evil that the enemy hath done in the sanctuary.
| הָרִימָה פְעָמֶיךָ לְמַשֻּׁאוֹת נֶצַח כׇּל־הֵרַע אוֹיֵב בַּקֹּֽדֶשׁ׃ |
4 Thine adversaries have roared in the midst of thine assembly; They have set up their ensigns for signs.
| שָׁאֲגוּ צֹרְרֶיךָ בְּקֶרֶב מוֹעֲדֶךָ שָׂמוּ אוֹתֹתָם אֹתֽוֹת׃ |
5 They seemed as men that lifted up Axes upon a thicket of trees.
| יִוָּדַע כְּמֵבִיא לְמָעְלָה בִּסְבׇךְ־עֵץ קַרְדֻּמּֽוֹת׃ |
6 And now all the carved work thereof They break down with hatchet and hammers.
| (ועת) [וְעַתָּה] פִּתּוּחֶיהָ יָּחַד בְּכַשִּׁיל וְכֵילַפּוֹת יַהֲלֹמֽוּן׃ |
7 They have set thy sanctuary on fire; They have profaned the dwelling-place of thy name [by casting it] to the ground.
| שִׁלְחוּ בָאֵשׁ מִקְדָּשֶׁךָ לָאָרֶץ חִלְּלוּ מִֽשְׁכַּן־שְׁמֶֽךָ׃ |
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.
| אָמְרוּ בְלִבָּם נִינָם יָחַד שָׂרְפוּ כׇל־מוֹעֲדֵי־אֵל בָּאָֽרֶץ׃ |
9 We see not our signs: There is no more any prophet; Neither is there among us any that knoweth how long.
| אוֹתֹתֵינוּ לֹא רָאִינוּ אֵֽין־עוֹד נָבִיא וְלֹֽא־אִתָּנוּ יֹדֵעַ עַד־מָֽה׃ |
10 How long, O God, shall the adversary reproach? Shall the enemy blaspheme thy name for ever?
| עַד־מָתַי אֱלֹהִים יְחָרֶף צָר יְנָאֵץ אוֹיֵב שִׁמְךָ לָנֶֽצַח׃ |
11 Why drawest thou back thy hand, even thy right hand? [Pluck it] out of thy bosom [and] consume [them].
| לָמָּה תָשִׁיב יָדְךָ וִימִינֶךָ מִקֶּרֶב (חוקך) [חֵיקְךָ] כַלֵּֽה׃ |
12 Yet God is my King of old, Working salvation in the midst of the earth.
| וֵאלֹהִים מַלְכִּי מִקֶּדֶם פֹּעֵל יְשׁוּעוֹת בְּקֶרֶב הָאָֽרֶץ׃ |
13 Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength: Thou brakest the heads of the sea-monsters in the waters.
| אַתָּה פוֹרַרְתָּ בְעׇזְּךָ יָם שִׁבַּרְתָּ רָאשֵׁי תַנִּינִים עַל־הַמָּֽיִם׃ |
14 Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces; Thou gavest him to be food to the people inhabiting the wilderness.
| אַתָּה רִצַּצְתָּ רָאשֵׁי לִוְיָתָן תִּתְּנֶנּוּ מַאֲכָל לְעָם לְצִיִּֽים׃ |
15 Thou didst cleave fountain and flood: Thou driedst up mighty rivers.
| אַתָּה בָקַעְתָּ מַעְיָן וָנָחַל אַתָּה הוֹבַשְׁתָּ נַהֲרוֹת אֵיתָֽן׃ |
16 The day is thine, the night also is thine: Thou hast prepared the light and the sun.
| לְךָ יוֹם אַף־לְךָ לָיְלָה אַתָּה הֲכִינוֹתָ מָאוֹר וָשָֽׁמֶשׁ׃ |
17 Thou hast set all the borders of the earth: Thou hast made summer and winter.
| אַתָּה הִצַּבְתָּ כׇּל־גְּבוּלוֹת אָרֶץ קַיִץ וָחֹרֶף אַתָּה יְצַרְתָּֽם׃ |
18 Remember this, that the enemy hath reproached, O Jehovah, And that a foolish people hath blasphemed thy name.
| זְכׇר־זֹאת אוֹיֵב חֵרֵף ׀ יְהֹוָה וְעַם נָבָל נִאֲצוּ שְׁמֶֽךָ׃ |
19 Oh deliver not the soul of thy turtle-dove unto the wild beast: Forget not the life of thy poor for ever.
| אַל־תִּתֵּן לְחַיַּת נֶפֶשׁ תּוֹרֶךָ חַיַּת עֲנִיֶּיךָ אַל־תִּשְׁכַּח לָנֶֽצַח׃ |
20 Have respect unto the covenant; For the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of violence.
| הַבֵּט לַבְּרִית כִּי מָלְאוּ מַחֲשַׁכֵּי־אֶרֶץ נְאוֹת חָמָֽס׃ |
21 Oh let not the oppressed return ashamed: Let the poor and needy praise thy name.
| אַל־יָשֹׁב דַּךְ נִכְלָם עָנִי וְאֶבְיוֹן יְֽהַלְלוּ שְׁמֶֽךָ׃ |
22 Arise, O God, plead thine own cause: Remember how the foolish man reproacheth thee all the day.
| קוּמָה אֱלֹהִים רִיבָה רִיבֶךָ זְכֹר חֶרְפָּתְךָ מִנִּי־נָבָל כׇּל־הַיּֽוֹם׃ |
23 Forget not the voice of thine adversaries: The tumult of those that rise up against thee ascendeth continually.
| אַל־תִּשְׁכַּח קוֹל צֹרְרֶיךָ שְׁאוֹן קָמֶיךָ עֹלֶה תָמִֽיד׃ |
