Psa 74:1
A [fn]Maskil of Asaph.
Why H4100, O God H430? Have You rejected H2186 us forever H5331?
Why does Your anger H639 smoke H6225 against the sheep H6629 of Your [fn]pasture H4830?
Psa 74:2
Remember H2142 Your congregation H5712, which You have purchased H7069 of old H6924,
Which You have redeemed H1350 to be the tribe H7626 of Your inheritance H5159;
And this H2088 Mount H2022 Zion H6726, where H2088 You have dwelt H7931.
Psa 74:3
Lift H7311 up H7311 Your steps H6471 toward the perpetual H5331 ruins H4876;
The enemy H340 has damaged H7489 everything H3605 within the sanctuary H6944.
Psa 74:4
Your adversaries H6887 have roared H7580 in the midst H7130 of Your meeting H4150 place H4150;
They have set H7760 up H7760 their own signs H226 for signs H226.
Psa 74:5
Each seems H3045 like one who lifts H935 up
[fn]An axe H7134 against the undergrowth H5441 of trees H6086.
Psa 74:6
And now H6258 its carved H6603 work H6603 altogether H3162
They smash H1986 with hatchet H3781 and [fn]hammers H3597.
Psa 74:7
They have set H7971 Your sanctuary H4720 on fire H874;
By bringing it to the ground H776, they have defiled H2490 the dwelling H4908 place H4908 of Your name H8034.
Psa 74:8
They said H559 in their heart H3820, “Let us [fn]completely H3162 [fn]subdue H3238 them.”
They have burned H8313 all H3605 the meeting H4150 places H4150 of God H410 in the land H776.
Psa 74:9
We do not see H7200 our signs H226;
There H369 is H369 no H369 longer H5750 any prophet H5030,
Nor H3808 is there any among H854 us who knows H3045 how H4100 long H5704.
Psa 74:10
How H4970 long H5704 H4970, O God H430, will the adversary H6862 reproach H2778?
Will the enemy H340 spurn H5006 Your name H8034 forever H5331?
Psa 74:11
Why H4100 do You turn H7725 back H7725 Your hand H3027, even Your right H3225 hand H3225?
From within H7130 Your bosom H2436, destroy H3615 them!
Psa 74:12
Yet God H430 is my King H4428 from of old H6924,
Who works H6466 deeds H3444 of H3444 [fn]salvation H3444 in the midst H7130 of the earth H776.
Psa 74:13
You divided H6565 the sea H3220 by Your strength H5797;
You broke H7665 the heads H7218 of the sea H8577 monsters H8577 [fn]in the waters H4325.
Psa 74:14
You crushed H7533 the heads H7218 of [fn]Leviathan H3882;
You gave H5414 him as food H3978 for the [fn]creatures H5971 of the desert H6728.
Psa 74:15
[fn]You split H1234 open H1234 spring H4599 and river H5158;
[fn]You dried H3001 up H3001 ever-flowing H386 rivers H5104.
Psa 74:16
Yours is the day H3117, Yours also H637 is the night H3915;
[fn]You have established H3559 the [fn]light H3974 and the sun H8121.
Psa 74:17
[fn]You have caused H5324 all H3605 the boundaries H1367 of the earth H776 to stand H5324 firm H5324;
[fn]You have formed H3335 summer H7019 and winter H2779.
Psa 74:18
Remember H2142 this H2088, O Yahweh H3068, that the enemy H340 has reproached H2778,
And a wickedly H5036 foolish H5036 people H5971 has spurned H5006 Your name H8034.
Psa 74:19
Do not deliver H5414 the soul H5315 of Your turtledove H8449 to the wild H2416 beast H2416;
Do not forget H7911 the life H2416 of Your afflicted H6041 forever H5331.
Psa 74:20
Look H5027 to the covenant H1285;
For the dark H4285 places H4285 of the land H776 are full H4390 of the haunts H4999 of violence H2555.
Psa 74:21
Let not the oppressed H1790 return H7725 dishonored H3637;
Let the afflicted H6041 and needy H34 praise H1984 Your name H8034.
Psa 74:22
Arise H6965, O God H430, and plead H7378 Your own cause H7379;
Remember H2142 [fn]how the wicked H5036 fool H5036 reproaches H2781 You all H3605 day H3117 long.
Psa 74:23
Do not forget H7911 the voice H6963 of Your adversaries H6887,
The rumbling H7588 of those who rise H6965 against You which ascends H5927 continually H8548.
