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 psalm of Asaph.” O God! why hast thou cast us off for ever? Why doth thine 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 the people which thou didst purchase of old; Thine own inheritance, which thou didst redeem; That Mount Zion, where thou once didst dwell!
3 Lift up! footsteps your to [the] ruins of perpetuity everything he has done harm to [the] enemy in the sanctuary.
Hasten thy steps to those utter desolations! Every thing in the sanctuary hath the enemy abused!
4 They roared opposers your in [the] midst of appointed place your they set up signs their signs.
Thine enemies roar in the place of thine assemblies; Their own symbols have they set up for signs.
5 It was known like [one who] brings upwards in a thicket of tree[s] axes.
They appear like those who raise the axe against a thicket;
6 (And now *Q(K)*) engravings its altogether with axe[s] and crowbars they struck!
They have broken down the carved work of thy temple 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 profaned, and cast to the ground, 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 said in their hearts, “Let us destroy them all together!” They have burned all God's places of assembly 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 no longer see our signs; There is no prophet among us, Nor any one that knoweth how long this desolation shall endure.
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 revile? 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? Take it from thy bosom, and destroy!
12 And God [has been] king my from antiquity [who] does salvation in [the] midst of the earth.
Yet God was our 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 power; Thou didst crush 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 didst break in pieces the head of the crocodile; Thou gavest him for food to the inhabitants of the desert.
15 You you broke open a spring and a torrent you you dried up rivers of ever-flowing.
Thou didst cleave forth the fountain and the stream; Thou didst dry up perennial 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 the night; Thou didst prepare the light and the sun.
17 You you established all [the] boundaries of [the] earth summer and winter you you formed them.
Thou didst establish all the boundaries of the earth; Thou didst make summer and winter.
18 Remember this [the] enemy he taunted - O Yahweh and a people foolish they spurned name your.
O remember that the enemy hath reviled Jehovah; That an impious people hath 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.
Give not up the life of thy turtle-dove to the wild beast; Forget not for ever thine afflicted people!
20 Pay attention to the covenant for they are full [the] dark places of [the] land settlements of violence.
Have regard to thy covenant! For all the dark places of the land are full of the abodes of cruelty.
21 May not he return [the] oppressed humiliated [the] poor and [the] needy may they praise name your.
O let not the afflicted go away 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! maintain thy cause! Remember how the impious revileth 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 clamor of thine adversaries, —The noise of thine enemies, which continually increaseth!
