Psalm 74
English translation got from website: https://www.chabad.org/library/bible_cdo
- A maskil of Asaph. Why, O God, have You forsaken forever? [Why] is Your wrath kindled against the flock of Your pasture?
- Remember Your congregation, which You acquired from time immemorial; You redeemed the tribe of Your heritage, Mount Zion on which You dwelt.
- Raise Your blows to inflict eternal ruin, for all the evil that the enemy did in the Sanctuary.
- Your adversaries roared in the midst of Your meeting place; they made their signs for signs.
- May he be known as though bringing [their blows] on high; the hatchets were in the thicket of the trees.
- And now, its entrances together, with hatchets and hammers they strike.
- They set Your Sanctuary afire; to the ground they profaned the dwelling place of Your name.
- They said in their heart, their rulers together; they burned all the meeting places of God in the land.
- We have not seen our signs; there is no longer a prophet, and no one with us knows how long.
- How long, O God, will the adversary blaspheme? Will the enemy disgrace Your name forever?
- Why do You withdraw Your hand, even Your right hand? Draw it out from within Your bosom.
- But God is my King from time immemorial, Who works salvations in the midst of the earth.
- You crumbled the sea with Your might; You shattered the heads of the sea monsters on the water.
- You crushed the heads of Leviathan; You give it as food to the people in companies.
- You split fountain and stream; You dried up mighty rivers.
- Day is Yours, even night is Yours; You established the luminary and the sun.
- You set all the boundaries of the earth; summer and winter-You formed them.
- Remember how the enemy reviled the Lord and a villainous people blasphemed Your name.
- Do not deliver to the company the soul of Your turtledove; the soul of Your poor ones do not ever forget.
- Look to the covenant, for the dark places of the earth are filled with dwellings of violence.
- Let not the poor turn back in disgrace; the poor and needy will praise Your name.
- Arise, O God, plead Your own cause; remember Your disgrace from a villainous man all the days.
- Do not forget the voice of Your adversaries, the tumult of those who rise up against You, which constantly ascends.
