| 74:1 |
O God, why do you cast us off forever? Why does your anger smoke against the sheep of your pasture?
|
| 74:2 |
Remember your congregation, which you acquired long ago, which you redeemed to be the tribe of your heritage. Remember Mount Zion, where you came to dwell.
|
| 74:3 |
Direct your steps to the perpetual ruins; the enemy has destroyed everything in the sanctuary.
|
| 74:4 |
Your foes have roared within your holy place; they set up their emblems there.
|
| 74:5 |
At the upper entrance they hacked the wooden trellis with axes.
|
| 74:6 |
And then, with hatchets and hammers, they smashed all its carved work.
|
| 74:7 |
They set your sanctuary on fire; they desecrated the dwelling place of your name, bringing it to the ground.
|
| 74:8 |
They said to themselves, "We will utterly subdue them"; they burned all the meeting places of God in the land.
|
| 74:9 |
We do not see our emblems; there is no longer any prophet, and there is no one among us who knows how long.
|
| 74:10 |
How long, O God, is the foe to scoff? Is the enemy to revile your name forever?
|
| 74:11 |
Why do you hold back your hand; why do you keep your hand in your bosom?
|
| 74:12 |
Yet God my King is from of old, working salvation in the earth.
|
| 74:13 |
You divided the sea by your might; you broke the heads of the dragons in the waters.
|
| 74:14 |
You crushed the heads of Leviathan; you gave him as food for the creatures of the wilderness.
|
| 74:15 |
You cut openings for springs and torrents; you dried up ever-flowing streams.
|
| 74:16 |
Yours is the day, yours also the night; you established the luminaries and the sun.
|
| 74:17 |
You have fixed all the bounds of the earth; you made summer and winter.
|
| 74:18 |
Remember this, O LORD, how the enemy scoffs, and an impious people reviles your name.
|
| 74:19 |
Do not deliver the soul of your dove to the wild animals; do not forget the life of your poor forever.
|
| 74:20 |
Have regard for your covenant, for the dark places of the land are full of the haunts of violence.
|
| 74:21 |
Do not let the downtrodden be put to shame; let the poor and needy praise your name.
|
| 74:22 |
Rise up, O God, plead your cause; remember how the impious scoff at you all day long.
|
| 74:23 |
Do not forget the clamor of your foes, the uproar of your adversaries that goes up continually.
