Psa 74:4

Psa 74:4(LXX 73:4) And they that hate thee have boasted in the midst of thy feast; they have set up their standards for signs,

Psa 74:5

Psa 74:5(LXX 73:5) ignorantly as it were in the entrance above;

Psa 74:6

Psa 74:6(LXX 73:6) 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.

Psa 74:7

Psa 74:7(LXX 73:7) They have burnt thy sanctuary with fire to the ground; they have profaned the [fn]habitation of thy name.

Psa 74:8

Psa 74:8(LXX 73:8) They have said in their heart, even all their kindred together, Come, let us abolish the feasts of the Lord from the earth.

Psa 74:9

Psa 74:9(LXX 73:9) We have not seen our signs; there is no longer a prophet; and God will not know us any more.

Psa 74:10

Psa 74:10(LXX 73:10) How long, O God, shall the enemy reproach? shall the enemy provoke thy name for ever?

Psa 74:11

Psa 74:11(LXX 73:11) Wherefore turnest thou away thine hand, and thy right hand from the midst of thy bosom for ever?

Psa 74:12

Psa 74:12(LXX 73:12) But God is our King [fn]of old; he has wrought salvation in the midst of the earth.

Psa 74:13

Psa 74:13(LXX 73:13) Thou didst establish the sea, in thy might, thou didst break to pieces the heads of the [fn]dragons in the water.

Psa 74:14

Psa 74:16

Psa 74:16(LXX 73:16) The day is thine, and the night is thine; thou hast prepared the sun and the moon.

Psa 74:17

Psa 74:17(LXX 73:17) Thou hast made all the borders of the earth; thou hast made summer and spring.

Psa 74:18

Psa 74:18(LXX 73:18) Remember this thy creation: an enemy has reproached the Lord, and a foolish people has provoked thy name.

Psa 74:19

Psa 74:19(LXX 73:19) Deliver not to the wild beasts a soul that gives praise to thee: forget not for ever the souls of thy poor.

Psa 74:20

Psa 74:20(LXX 73:20) Look upon thy covenant: for the dark places of the earth are filled with the habitations of iniquity.

Psa 74:21

Psa 74:21(LXX 73:21) Let not the afflicted and shamed one be rejected: the poor and needy shall praise thy name.

Psa 74:22(LXX 73:22) Arise, O God, plead thy cause: remember thy reproaches that come from the foolish one all the day.

Psa 74:23

Psa 74:23(LXX 73:23) Forget not the voice of thy suppliants: let the pride of them that hate thee continually ascend before thee.
