Psalm 74 :: Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

Psa 74:1An Instruction of Asaph. Why, O God, hast Thou cast off for ever? Thine anger smoketh against the flock of Thy pasture.
Psa 74:2Remember Thy company. Thou didst purchase of old, Thou didst redeem the rod of Thy inheritance, This mount Zion -- Thou didst dwell in it.
Psa 74:3Lift up Thy steps to the perpetual desolations, Everything the enemy did wickedly in the sanctuary.
Psa 74:4Roared have thine adversaries, In the midst of Thy meeting-places, They have set their ensigns as ensigns.
Psa 74:5He is known as one bringing in on high Against a thicket of wood -- axes.
Psa 74:6And now, its carvings together With axe and hatchet they break down,
Psa 74:7They have sent into fire Thy sanctuary, to the earth they polluted the tabernacle of Thy name,
Psa 74:8They said in their hearts, 'Let us oppress them together,' They did burn all the meeting-places of God in the land.
Psa 74:9Our ensigns we have not seen, There is no more a prophet, Nor with us is one knowing how long.
Psa 74:10Till when, O God, doth an adversary reproach? Doth an enemy despise thy name for ever?
Psa 74:11Why dost Thou turn back Thy hand, Even Thy right hand? From the midst of Thy bosom remove it.
Psa 74:12And God is my king of old, Working salvation in the midst of the earth.
Psa 74:13Thou hast broken by Thy strength a sea-monster, Thou hast shivered Heads of dragons by the waters,
Psa 74:14Thou hast broken the heads of leviathan, Thou makest him food, For the people of the dry places.
Psa 74:15Thou hast cleaved a fountain and a stream, Thou hast dried up perennial flowings.
Psa 74:16Thine is the day, also Thine is the night, Thou hast prepared a light giver -- the sun.
Psa 74:17Thou hast set up all the borders of earth, Summer and winter Thou hast formed them.
Psa 74:18Remember this -- an enemy reproached Jehovah, And a foolish people have despised Thy name.
Psa 74:19Give not up to a company, The soul of Thy turtle-dove, The company of Thy poor ones forget not for ever.
Psa 74:20Look attentively to the covenant, For the dark places of earth, Have been full of habitations of violence.
Psa 74:21Let not the oppressed turn back ashamed, Let the poor and needy praise Thy name,
Psa 74:22Arise, O God, plead Thy plea, Remember Thy reproach from a fool all the day.
Psa 74:23Forget not the voice of Thine adversaries, The noise of Thy withstanders is going up continually!
