Psalms 74
1 Maschil. Of Asaph. Of God, why have you put us away from you for ever? why is the fire of your wrath smoking against the sheep who are your care?
A poem of Asaph why? O God have you rejected [us] to perpetuity does it smoke? anger your on [the] sheep of pasture your.
2 Keep in mind your band of worshippers, for whom you gave payment in the days which are past, whom you took for yourself as the people of your heritage; even this mountain of Zion, which has been your resting-place.
Remember congregation your - [which] you acquired antiquity [which] you redeemed [the] tribe of inheritance your [the] mountain of Zion which - you have dwelt on it.
3 Go up and see the unending destruction; all the evil which your haters have done in the holy place;
Lift up! footsteps your to [the] ruins of perpetuity everything he has done harm to [the] enemy in the sanctuary.
4 Sending out their voices like lions among your worshippers; they have put up their signs to be seen.
They roared opposers your in [the] midst of appointed place your they set up signs their signs.
5 They are cutting down, like a man whose blade is lifted up against the thick trees.
It was known like [one who] brings upwards in a thicket of tree[s] axes.
6 Your doors are broken down with hammers and iron blades.
(And now *Q(K)*) engravings its altogether with axe[s] and crowbars they struck!
7 They have put on fire your holy place; they have made the place of your name unclean, pulling it down to the earth.
They sent in fire sanctuary your to the ground they profaned [the] dwelling place of name your.
8 They have said in their hearts, Let us put an end to them all together; they have given over to the fire all God's places of worship in the land.
They said in heart their let us oppress them altogether they burned all [the] appointed places of God in the land.
9 We do not see our signs: there is no longer any prophet, or anyone among us to say how long.
Signs our not we have seen there not still [is] a prophet and not [is] with us [one who] knows until when?
10 O God, how long will those who are against us say cruel things? will the hater go on looking down on your name for ever?
Until when? O God will he taunt [the] opponent will he spurn? [the] enemy name your to perpetuity.
11 Why are you keeping back your hand, and covering your right hand in your robe?
Why? do you draw back hand your and right [hand] your from [the] midst of (bosom your *Q(K)*) destroy.
12 For from the past God is my King, working salvation in the earth.
And God [has been] king my from antiquity [who] does salvation in [the] midst of the earth.
13 The sea was parted in two by your strength; the heads of the great sea-beasts were broken.
You you divided by strength your [the] sea you shattered [the] heads of sea monsters on the waters.
14 The heads of the great snake were crushed by you; you gave them as food to the fishes of the sea.
You you crushed [the] heads of Leviathan you gave it food to a people to desert-dwellers.
15 You made valleys for fountains and springs; you made the ever-flowing rivers dry.
You you broke open a spring and a torrent you you dried up rivers of ever-flowing.
16 The day is yours and the night is yours: you made the light and the sun.
[belongs] to You day also [belongs] to you night you you prepared a luminary and [the] sun.
17 By you all the limits of the earth were fixed; you have made summer and winter.
You you established all [the] boundaries of [the] earth summer and winter you you formed them.
18 Keep this in mind, O Lord, that your haters have said cruel things, and that your name has been looked down on by a people of evil behaviour.
Remember this [the] enemy he taunted - O Yahweh and a people foolish they spurned name your.
19 O give not the soul of your dove to the hawk; let not the life of the poor go out of your memory for ever.
May not you give to an animal [the] life of turtle-dove your [the] life of poor [people] your may not you forget to perpetuity.
20 Keep in mind your undertaking; for the dark places of the earth are full of pride and cruel acts.
Pay attention to the covenant for they are full [the] dark places of [the] land settlements of violence.
21 O let not the crushed be turned back in shame; let the low man and the poor give praise to your name.
May not he return [the] oppressed humiliated [the] poor and [the] needy may they praise name your.
22 Up! O God, be the judge of your cause; keep in mind the bitter things which the man of evil behaviour says against you every day.
Arise! O God conduct! case your remember reproach your from a fool all the day.
23 Keep in mind the voice of your haters; the outcry of those who come against you goes up every day.
May not you forget [the] sound of opposers your [the] uproar of [those who] rise against you [which] goes up continually.
