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 hast thou cast us off for ever? why doth 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 hast purchased of old; the rod of thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed; this mount Zion, wherein thou hast 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 unto the perpetual desolations; even all that the enemy hath done wickedly in the sanctuary.
4 They roared opposers your in [the] midst of appointed place your they set up signs their signs.
Thine enemies roar in the midst of thy congregations; they set up their ensigns for signs.
5 It was known like [one who] brings upwards in a thicket of tree[s] axes.
A man was famous according as he had lifted up axes upon the thick trees.
6 (And now *Q(K)*) engravings its altogether with axe[s] and crowbars they struck!
But now they break down the carved work thereof at once with axes and hammers.
7 They sent in fire sanctuary your to the ground they profaned [the] dwelling place of name your.
They have cast fire into thy sanctuary, they have defiled by casting down 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 hearts, Let us destroy them together: they have burned up all the synagogues 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 see not our signs: there is no more any prophet: neither is there among us any that knoweth how long.
10 Until when? O God will he taunt [the] opponent will he spurn? [the] enemy name your to perpetuity.
O God, how long shall the adversary reproach? shall the enemy blaspheme thy name for ever?
11 Why? do you draw back hand your and right [hand] your from [the] midst of (bosom your *Q(K)*) destroy.
Why withdrawest thou thy hand, even thy right hand? pluck it out of thy bosom.
12 And God [has been] king my from antiquity [who] does salvation in [the] midst of the earth.
For 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 didst divide the sea by thy strength: thou brakest the heads of the dragons in the waters.
14 You you crushed [the] heads of Leviathan you gave it food to a people to desert-dwellers.
Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces, and gavest him to be meat 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 didst cleave the fountain and the flood: thou driedst 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 also is thine: thou hast prepared the light and the sun.
17 You you established all [the] boundaries of [the] earth summer and winter you you formed them.
Thou hast set all the borders of the earth: thou hast 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 hath reproached, O Yhwh, and that the foolish people have 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 turtledove unto the multitude of the wicked: forget not the congregation of thy poor for ever.
20 Pay attention to the covenant for they are full [the] dark places of [the] land settlements of violence.
Have respect unto the covenant: for the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of cruelty.
21 May not he return [the] oppressed humiliated [the] poor and [the] needy may they praise name your.
O let not the oppressed return ashamed: let the poor and needy 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 reproacheth thee daily.
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 enemies: the tumult of those that rise up against thee increaseth continually.
