74:1 |
Why have you rejected us forever, O God? Why does your anger smolder against the sheep of your pasture?
|
74:2 |
Remember the people you purchased of old, the tribe of your inheritance, whom you redeemed-- Mount Zion, where you dwelt.
|
74:3 |
Turn your steps toward these everlasting ruins, all this destruction the enemy has brought on the sanctuary.
|
74:4 |
Your foes roared in the place where you met with us; they set up their standards as signs.
|
74:5 |
They behaved like men wielding axes to cut through a thicket of trees.
|
74:6 |
They smashed all the carved paneling with their axes and hatchets.
|
74:7 |
They burned your sanctuary to the ground; they defiled the dwelling place of your Name.
|
74:8 |
They said in their hearts, "We will crush them completely!" They burned every place where God was worshiped in the land.
|
74:9 |
We are given no miraculous signs; no prophets are left, and none of us knows how long this will be.
|
74:10 |
How long will the enemy mock you, O God? Will the foe revile your name forever?
|
74:11 |
Why do you hold back your hand, your right hand? Take it from the folds of your garment and destroy them!
|
74:12 |
But you, O God, are my king from of old; you bring salvation upon the earth.
|
74:13 |
It was you who split open the sea by your power; you broke the heads of the monster in the waters.
|
74:14 |
It was you who crushed the heads of Leviathan and gave him as food to the creatures of the desert.
|
74:15 |
It was you who opened up springs and streams; you dried up the ever flowing rivers.
|
74:16 |
The day is yours, and yours also the night; you established the sun and moon.
|
74:17 |
It was you who set all the boundaries of the earth; you made both summer and winter.
|
74:18 |
Remember how the enemy has mocked you, O LORD, how foolish people have reviled your name.
|
74:19 |
Do not hand over the life of your dove to wild beasts; do not forget the lives of your afflicted people forever.
|
74:20 |
Have regard for your covenant, because haunts of violence fill the dark places of the land.
|
74:21 |
Do not let the oppressed retreat in disgrace; may the poor and needy praise your name.
|
74:22 |
Rise up, O God, and defend your cause; remember how fools mock you all day long.
|
74:23 |
Do not ignore the clamor of your adversaries, the uproar of your enemies, which rises continually. ""
