Why does Your anger smoulder against the sheep of Your pasture? Psa 74:2 Remember Your congregation which You purchased of old, which You have redeemed to be the tribe of Your inheritance; Mount Zion, in which You have lived. Psa 74:3 Lift up Your feet on the perpetual ruins, see all the evil that the enemy has done in the sanctuary. Psa 74:4 Your adversaries have roared in the midst of Your assembly. They have set up their standards as signs. Psa 74:5 They behaved like men wielding axes, cutting through a thicket of trees. Psa 74:6 Now they break all its carved work down with hatchet and hammers. Psa 74:7 They have burned Your sanctuary to the ground, they have profaned the dwelling place of Your Name. Psa 74:8 They said in their heart, We will crush them completely. They have burned up all the places in the land where God was worshiped. Psa 74:9 We see no miraculous signs. There is no longer any prophet, neither is there among us anyone who knows how long. Psa 74:10 How long, God, shall the adversary reproach? Shall the enemy blaspheme Your name forever? Psa 74:11 Why do You draw back Your hand, even Your right hand? Take it out of Your pocket and consume them! Psa 74:12 Yet God is my King of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth. Psa 74:13 You divided the sea by Your strength. You broke the heads of the sea monsters in the waters. Psa 74:14 You broke the heads of Leviathan in pieces. You gave him as food to people and desert creatures. Psa 74:15 You opened up spring and stream. You dried up mighty rivers. Psa 74:16 The day is Yours, the night is also Yours; You have prepared the light and the sun. Psa 74:17 You have set all the boundaries of the earth. You have made summer and winter. Psa 74:18 Remember this, that the enemy has mocked You, Yahweh. Foolish people have blasphemed Your name. Psa 74:19 Don’t deliver the soul of Your dove to wild beasts, don’t forget the life of Your poor forever. Psa 74:20 Honour Your covenant, for haunts of violence fill the dark places of the land. Psa 74:21 Don’t let the oppressed return ashamed; let the poor and needy praise Your name. Psa 74:22 Arise, God! Plead Your own cause. Remember how the foolish man mocks You all day. Psa 74:23 Don’t forget the voice of Your adversaries; the tumult of those who rise up against You ascends continually.
