Psalms 74
1 A Psalme to give instruction, committed to Asaph. O God, why hast thou put vs away for euer? why is thy wrath kindled against the sheepe of thy pasture?
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 Thinke vpon thy Congregation, which thou hast possessed of olde, and on the rod of thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed, and on this mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt.
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 Lift vp thy strokes, that thou mayest for euer destroy euery enemie that doeth euill to the Sanctuarie.
Lift up! footsteps your to [the] ruins of perpetuity everything he has done harm to [the] enemy in the sanctuary.
4 Thine aduersaries roare in the middes of thy Congregation, and set vp their banners for signes.
They roared opposers your in [the] midst of appointed place your they set up signs their signs.
5 He that lifted the axes vpon the thicke trees, was renowmed, as one, that brought a thing to perfection:
It was known like [one who] brings upwards in a thicket of tree[s] axes.
6 But nowe they breake downe the carued worke thereof with axes and hammers.
(And now *Q(K)*) engravings its altogether with axe[s] and crowbars they struck!
7 They haue cast thy Sanctuarie into the fire, and rased it to the grounde, and haue defiled the dwelling place of thy Name.
They sent in fire sanctuary your to the ground they profaned [the] dwelling place of name your.
8 They saide in their hearts, Let vs destroy them altogether: they haue burnt all the Synagogues of God 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 see not our signes: there is not one Prophet more, nor any with vs that knoweth howe 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, howe long shall the aduersarie reproche thee? shall the enemie blaspheme thy Name for euer?
Until when? O God will he taunt [the] opponent will he spurn? [the] enemy name your to perpetuity.
11 Why withdrawest thou thine hand, euen thy right hand? drawe it out of thy bosome, and consume them.
Why? do you draw back hand your and right [hand] your from [the] midst of (bosom your *Q(K)*) destroy.
12 Euen God is my King of olde, working saluation in the middes of the earth.
And God [has been] king my from antiquity [who] does salvation in [the] midst of the earth.
13 Thou didest deuide the sea by thy power: thou brakest the heads of the dragons in the waters.
You you divided by strength your [the] sea you shattered [the] heads of sea monsters on the waters.
14 Thou brakest the head of Liuiathan in pieces, and gauest him to be meate for the people in wildernesse.
You you crushed [the] heads of Leviathan you gave it food to a people to desert-dwellers.
15 Thou brakest vp the fountaine and riuer: thou dryedst vp mightie riuers.
You you broke open a spring and a torrent you you dried up rivers of ever-flowing.
16 The day is thine, and the night is thine: thou hast prepared the light and the sunne.
[belongs] to You day also [belongs] to you night you you prepared a luminary and [the] sun.
17 Thou hast set all the borders of the earth: thou hast made summer and winter.
You you established all [the] boundaries of [the] earth summer and winter you you formed them.
18 Remember this, that the enemie hath reproched the Lord, and the foolish people hath blasphemed thy Name.
Remember this [the] enemy he taunted - O Yahweh and a people foolish they spurned name your.
19 Giue not the soule of thy turtle doue vnto the beast, and forget not the Congregation of thy poore for euer.
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 Consider thy couenant: for the darke places of the earth are full of the habitations of the cruell.
Pay attention to the covenant for they are full [the] dark places of [the] land settlements of violence.
21 Oh let not the oppressed returne ashamed, but let the poore and needie prayse thy Name.
May not he return [the] oppressed humiliated [the] poor and [the] needy may they praise name your.
22 Arise, O God: mainteine thine owne cause: remember thy dayly reproche by the foolish man.
Arise! O God conduct! case your remember reproach your from a fool all the day.
23 Forget not the voyce of thine enemies: for the tumult of them, that rise against thee, ascendeth continually.
May not you forget [the] sound of opposers your [the] uproar of [those who] rise against you [which] goes up continually.
