  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 ¶
[[Maschilºº
of Asaph.]]º
O Elohim,º
whyº
hast thou cast [us] offºº
for ever?º
[why] doth thine angerº
smokeºº
against the sheepº
of thy pasture?º |
|
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
Rememberºº
thy congregation,º
[which] thou hast purchasedºº
of old;º
the rodº
of thine inheritance,º
[which] thou hast redeemed;ºº
thisº
mountº
Zion,º
wherein thou hast dwelt.ºº |
|
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 upºº
thy feetº
unto the perpetualº
desolations;º
[even] allº
[that] the enemyºº
hath done wickedlyºº
in the sanctuary.º |
|
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 enemiesºº
roarºº
in the midstº
of thy congregations;º
they set upºº
their ensignsº
[for] signs.º |
|
74:5
ignorantly as it were in the entrance above; |
74:5
[A man] was famousºº
according as he had lifted upººº
axesº
upon the thickº
trees.º |
|
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 nowº
they break downºº
the carved workº
thereof at onceº
with axesº
and hammers.º |
|
74:7
They have burnt thy sanctuary with fire to the ground; they have profaned the habitation of thy name. |
74:7
They have castºº
fireº
into thy sanctuary,º
they have defiledºº
[by casting down] the dwelling placeº
of thy nameº
to the ground.º |
|
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 saidºº
in their hearts,º
Let us destroyºº
them together:º
they have burned upºº
allº
the synagoguesº
of Elº
in the land.º |
|
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 seeºº
notº
our signs:º
[there is] noº
moreº
any prophet:º
neitherº
[is there] amongº
us any that knowethºº
how long.ºº |
|
74:10
How long, O God, shall the enemy reproach? shall the enemy provoke thy name forever? |
74:10
O Elohim,º
how longºº
shall the adversaryº
reproach?ºº
shall the enemyºº
blasphemeºº
thy nameº
for ever?º |
|
74:11
Wherefore turnest thou away thine hand, and thy right hand from the midst of thy bosom for ever? |
74:11
Whyº
withdrawestºº
thou thy hand,º
even thy right hand?º
pluckºº
[it] out ofºº
thy bosom.ºº |
|
74:12
But God is our King of old; he has wrought salvation in the midst of the earth. |
74:12
For Elohimº
[is] my Kingº
of old,ºº
workingºº
salvationº
in the midstº
of the earth.º |
|
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
Thouº
didst divideºº
the seaº
by thy strength:º
thou brakestºº
the headsº
of the dragonsº
inº
the waters.º |
|
74:14
Thou didst break to pieces the heads of the dragon; thou didst give him [for] meat to the Ethiopian nations. |
74:14
Thouº
brakestºº
the headsº
of leviathanº
in pieces, [and] gavestºº
him [to be] meatº
to the peopleº
inhabiting the wilderness.º |
|
74:15
Thou didst cleave fountains and torrents; thou driedst up mighty rivers. |
74:15
Thouº
didst cleaveºº
the fountainº
and the flood:º
thouº
driedst upºº
mightyº
rivers.º |
|
74:16
The day is thine, and the night is thine; thou hast prepared the sun and the moon. |
74:16
The dayº
[is] thine, the nightº
alsoº
[is] thine: thouº
hast preparedºº
the lightº
and the sun.º |
|
74:17
Thou hast made all the borders of the earth; thou hast made summer and spring. |
74:17
Thouº
hast setºº
allº
the bordersº
of the earth:º
thouº
hast madeºº
summerº
and winter.º |
|
74:18
Remember this thy creation: an enemy has reproached the Lord, and a foolish people has provoked thy name. |
74:18
Rememberºº
this,º
[that] the enemyºº
hath reproached,ºº
O Yahweh,º
and [that] the foolishº
peopleº
have blasphemedºº
thy name.º |
|
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 deliverºº
notº
the soulº
of thy turtledoveº
unto the multitudeº
[of the wicked]: forgetºº
notº
the congregationº
of thy poorº
for ever.º |
|
74:20
Look upon thy covenant: for the dark [places] of the earth are filled with the habitations of iniquity. |
74:20
Have respectºº
unto the covenant:º
forº
the darkº
placesº
of the earthº
are fullºº
of the habitationsº
of cruelty.º |
|
74:21
Let not the afflicted and shamed one be rejected: the poor and needy shall praise thy name. |
74:21
O let notº
the oppressedº
returnºº
ashamed:ºº
let the poorº
and needyº
praiseºº
thy name.º |
|
74:22
Arise, O God, plead thy cause: remember thy reproaches that come from the foolish one all the day. |
74:22
Arise,ºº
O Elohim,º
pleadºº
thine own cause:ºº
rememberºº
howº
the foolish manº
reproachethº
thee daily.ºº |
|
74:23
Forget not the voice of thy suppliants: let the pride of them that hate thee continually ascend before thee. |
74:23
Forgetºº
notº
the voiceº
of thine enemies:ºº
the tumultº
of those that rise upºº
againstº
thee increasethºº
continually.º |
