  74:1 ¶
[[[A Psalm] of instruction for Asaph.]] Wherefore hast thou rejected [us], O God, for ever? [wherefore] is thy wrath kindled against the sheep of thy pasture? |
|
74:1 ¶
[[Maschil°°
of Asaph.]]°
O Elohim,°
why°
hast thou cast [us] off°°
for ever?°
[why] doth thine anger°
smoke°°
against the sheep°
of thy pasture?° |
|
74:2
Remember thy congregation which thou hast purchased from the beginning; thou didst ransom the rod of thine inheritance; this mount Zion{gr.Sion} wherein thou hast dwelt. |
|
74:2
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.°° |
|
74:3
Lift up thine hands against their pride continually; [because of] all that the enemy has done wickedly in thy holy places. |
|
74:3
Lift up°°
thy feet°
unto the perpetual°
desolations;°
[even] all°
[that] the enemy°°
hath done wickedly°°
in the sanctuary.° |
|
74:4
And they that hate thee have boasted in the midst of thy feast; they have set up their standards for signs, |
|
74:4
Thine enemies°°
roar°°
in the midst°
of thy congregations;°
they set up°°
their ensigns°
[for] signs.° |
|
74:5
ignorantly as it were in the entrance above; |
|
74:5
[A man] was famous°°
according as he had lifted up°°°
axes°
upon the thick°
trees.° |
|
74:6
they cut down its doors at once with axes as in a wood of trees; they have broken it down with hatchet and stone cutter. |
|
74:6
But now°
they break down°°
the carved work°
thereof at once°
with axes°
and hammers.° |
|
74:7
They have burnt thy sanctuary with fire to the ground; they have profaned the habitation of thy name. |
|
74:7
They have cast°°
fire°
into thy sanctuary,°
they have defiled°°
[by casting down] the dwelling place°
of thy name°
to the ground.° |
|
74:8
They have said in their heart, [even] all their kindred together, Come, let us abolish the feasts of the Lord from the earth. |
|
74:8
They said°°
in their hearts,°
Let us destroy°°
them together:°
they have burned up°°
all°
the synagogues°
of El°
in the land.° |
|
74:9
We have not seen our signs; there is no longer a prophet; and [God] will not know us any more. |
|
74:9
We see°°
not°
our signs:°
[there is] no°
more°
any prophet:°
neither°
[is there] among°
us any that knoweth°°
how long.°° |
|
74:10
How long, O God, shall the enemy reproach? shall the enemy provoke thy name forever? |
|
74:10
O Elohim,°
how long°°
shall the adversary°
reproach?°°
shall the enemy°°
blaspheme°°
thy name°
for ever?° |
|
74:11
Wherefore turnest thou away thine hand, and thy right hand from the midst of thy bosom for ever? |
|
74:11
Why°
withdrawest°°
thou thy hand,°
even thy right hand?°
pluck°°
[it] out of°°
thy bosom.°° |
|
74:12
But God is our King of old; he has wrought salvation in the midst of the earth. |
|
74:12
For Elohim°
[is] my King°
of old,°°
working°°
salvation°
in the midst°
of the earth.° |
|
74:13
Thou didst establish the sea, in thy might, thou didst break to pieces the heads of the dragons in the water. |
|
74:13
Thou°
didst divide°°
the sea°
by thy strength:°
thou brakest°°
the heads°
of the dragons°
in°
the waters.° |
|
74:14
Thou didst break to pieces the heads of the dragon; thou didst give him [for] meat to the Ethiopian nations. |
|
74:14
Thou°
brakest°°
the heads°
of leviathan°
in pieces, [and] gavest°°
him [to be] meat°
to the people°
inhabiting the wilderness.° |
|
74:15
Thou didst cleave fountains and torrents; thou driedst up mighty rivers. |
|
74:15
Thou°
didst cleave°°
the fountain°
and the flood:°
thou°
driedst up°°
mighty°
rivers.° |
|
74:16
The day is thine, and the night is thine; thou hast prepared the sun and the moon. |
|
74:16
The day°
[is] thine, the night°
also°
[is] thine: thou°
hast prepared°°
the light°
and the sun.° |
|
74:17
Thou hast made all the borders of the earth; thou hast made summer and spring. |
|
74:17
Thou°
hast set°°
all°
the borders°
of the earth:°
thou°
hast made°°
summer°
and winter.° |
|
74:18
Remember this thy creation: an enemy has reproached the Lord, and a foolish people has provoked thy name. |
|
74:18
Remember°°
this,°
[that] the enemy°°
hath reproached,°°
O Yahweh,°
and [that] the foolish°
people°
have blasphemed°°
thy name.° |
|
74:19
Deliver not to the wild beasts a soul that gives praise to thee: forget not for ever the souls of thy poor. |
|
74:19
O deliver°°
not°
the soul°
of thy turtledove°
unto the multitude°
[of the wicked]: forget°°
not°
the congregation°
of thy poor°
for ever.° |
|
74:20
Look upon thy covenant: for the dark [places] of the earth are filled with the habitations of iniquity. |
|
74:20
Have respect°°
unto the covenant:°
for°
the dark°
places°
of the earth°
are full°°
of the habitations°
of cruelty.° |
|
74:21
Let not the afflicted and shamed one be rejected: the poor and needy shall praise thy name. |
|
74:21
O let not°
the oppressed°
return°°
ashamed:°°
let the poor°
and needy°
praise°°
thy name.° |
|
74:22
Arise, O God, plead thy cause: remember thy reproaches that come from the foolish one all the day. |
|
74:22
Arise,°°
O Elohim,°
plead°°
thine own cause:°°
remember°°
how°
the foolish man°
reproacheth°
thee daily.°° |
|
74:23
Forget not the voice of thy suppliants: let the pride of them that hate thee continually ascend before thee. |
|
74:23
Forget°°
not°
the voice°
of thine enemies:°°
the tumult°
of those that rise up°°
against°
thee increaseth°°
continually.° |
