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.
“A Maskil of Assaph.” Why, O God, hast thou cast us off for ever? why will thy anger smoke against the flock 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 didst acquire of old; which thou didst redeem as the tribe of thy inheritance: this mount Zion, whereon 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 steps unto the perpetual heaps of ruins: the enemy hath ill-used every thing in the sanctuary.
4 They roared opposers your in [the] midst of appointed place your they set up signs their signs.
Thy adversaries have roared in the midst of thy places of assembly: they have set up their signs for signs.
5 It was known like [one who] brings upwards in a thicket of tree[s] axes.
[The enemy] is known as one that lifteth up high axes against the thickets of a forest.
6 (And now *Q(K)*) engravings its altogether with axe[s] and crowbars they struck!
And now they hew in pieces the carved work thereof altogether with hatchets and hammers.
7 They sent in fire sanctuary your to the ground they profaned [the] dwelling place of name your.
They have set on fire thy sanctuary; to the ground have they profaned the dwelling-place of thy name.
8 They said in heart their let us oppress them altogether they burned all [the] appointed places of God in the land.
They have said in their heart, We will oppress them altogether: they have burnt up all the places of assembly 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?
Our signs do we not see: there is no more any prophet: and there is no one among us that knoweth 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 utter defiance? 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, and thy right hand? [draw it] out of thy bosom—exterminate [them];
12 And God [has been] king my from antiquity [who] does salvation in [the] midst of the earth.
Since [thou] God art my King from olden days, 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.
It was thou that didst divide by thy strength the sea: thou brokest in pieces the heads of the crocodiles on the waters.
14 You you crushed [the] heads of Leviathan you gave it food to a people to desert-dwellers.
Thou didst crush the heads of leviathan, and gavest them as 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 didst cleave fountain and stream: thou didst dry up ever-flowing rivers.
16 [belongs] to You day also [belongs] to you night you you prepared a luminary and [the] sun.
Thine is the day and thine is the night: it is thou who hast prepared the luminary and the sun.
17 You you established all [the] boundaries of [the] earth summer and winter you you formed them.
It is thou who hast set up all the boundaries of the earth: summer and winter—thou thyself hast formed them.
18 Remember this [the] enemy he taunted - O Yahweh and a people foolish they spurned name your.
Remember this, that the enemy hath defied the Lord, and that a worthless 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.
Oh give not up unto the multitude of enemies the soul of thy turtle-dove: the congregation of thy afflicted do not thou forget for ever.
20 Pay attention to the covenant for they are full [the] dark places of [the] land settlements of violence.
Look unto the covenant; for the dark places of the earth are full of habitations of violence.
21 May not he return [the] oppressed humiliated [the] poor and [the] needy may they praise name your.
Oh let not the oppressed return confounded: 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 thy own cause: remember thy defiance from the worthless fool 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 thy adversaries: the tumult of those that rise up against thee ascendeth continually.
