< Psalms 74 >

1 A poem of Asaph why? O God have you rejected [us] to perpetuity does it smoke? anger your on [the] sheep of pasture your.
O God, why have thou cast off forever? Why does thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture?
2 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.
Remember thy congregation, which thou have gotten of old, which thou have redeemed to be the tribe of thine inheritance, and mount Zion, at which thou have dwelt.
3 Lift up! footsteps your to [the] ruins of perpetuity everything he has done harm to [the] enemy in the sanctuary.
Lift up thy feet to the perpetual ruins, all the evil that the enemy has done in the sanctuary.
4 They roared opposers your in [the] midst of appointed place your they set up signs their signs.
Thine adversaries have roared in the midst of thine assembly. They have set up their ensigns for signs.
5 It was known like [one who] brings upwards in a thicket of tree[s] axes.
They seemed as men who lifted up axes upon a thicket of trees.
6 (And now *Q(K)*) engravings its altogether with axe[s] and crowbars they struck!
And now they break down all the carved work of it with hatchet and hammers.
7 They sent in fire sanctuary your to the ground they profaned [the] dwelling place of name your.
They have set thy sanctuary on fire. They have profaned the dwelling-place of thy name to the ground.
8 They said in heart their let us oppress them altogether they burned all [the] appointed places of God in the land.
They said in their heart, Let us make havoc of them altogether. They have burned up all the meeting-places of God in the land.
9 Signs our not we have seen there not still [is] a prophet and not [is] with us [one who] knows until when?
We do not see our signs. There is no more any prophet, nor is there among us he who knows how long.
10 Until when? O God will he taunt [the] opponent will he spurn? [the] enemy name your to perpetuity.
How long, O God, shall the adversary reproach? Shall the enemy blaspheme thy name forever?
11 Why? do you draw back hand your and right [hand] your from [the] midst of (bosom your *Q(K)*) destroy.
Why do thou draw back thy hand, even thy right hand? Remove it from the midst of thy bosom.
12 And God [has been] king my from antiquity [who] does salvation in [the] midst of the earth.
Yet God is my King of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth.
13 You you divided by strength your [the] sea you shattered [the] heads of sea monsters on the waters.
Thou divided the sea by thy strength. Thou break the heads of the sea-monsters in the waters.
14 You you crushed [the] heads of Leviathan you gave it food to a people to desert-dwellers.
Thou break the heads of leviathan in pieces. Thou gave him to be food to the people inhabiting the wilderness.
15 You you broke open a spring and a torrent you you dried up rivers of ever-flowing.
Thou split fountain and flood. Thou dried up mighty rivers.
16 [belongs] to You day also [belongs] to you night you you prepared a luminary and [the] sun.
The day is thine; the night is also thine. Thou have prepared the light and the sun.
17 You you established all [the] boundaries of [the] earth summer and winter you you formed them.
Thou have set all the borders of the earth. Thou have made summer and winter.
18 Remember this [the] enemy he taunted - O Yahweh and a people foolish they spurned name your.
Remember this, that the enemy has reproached, O Jehovah, and that a foolish people has blasphemed thy name.
19 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.
O deliver not the soul of thy turtle-dove to the wild beast. Forget not the life of thy poor forever.
20 Pay attention to the covenant for they are full [the] dark places of [the] land settlements of violence.
Have respect to the covenant, for the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of violence.
21 May not he return [the] oppressed humiliated [the] poor and [the] needy may they praise name your.
O let not he who is oppressed return ashamed. Let a poor and needy man praise thy name.
22 Arise! O God conduct! case your remember reproach your from a fool all the day.
Arise, O God, plead thine own cause. Remember how the foolish man reproaches thee all the day.
23 May not you forget [the] sound of opposers your [the] uproar of [those who] rise against you [which] goes up continually.
Forget not the voice of thine adversaries. The tumult of those who rise up against thee ascends continually.
