Psalm 74

- Maschil of Asaph.

O God, why hast thou cast us off for ever?

why doth thine anger smoke
against the sheep of thy pasture?

Remember thy congregation, which thou
hast purchased of old; the rod of thine

inheritance, which thou hast redeemed;

this mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt.

Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual
desolations; even all that the enemy

hath done wickedly in the sanctuary.

Thine enemies roar in the midst
of thy congregations; they set

up their ensigns for signs.

A man was famous according as he had
lifted up axes upon the thick trees.

But now they break down the carved work
thereof at once with axes and hammers.

They have cast fire into thy sanctuary,
they have defiled by casting down the

dwelling place of thy name to the ground.

They said in their hearts, Let us destroy
them together: they have burned up

all the synagogues of God in the land.

We see not our signs: there is no
more any prophet: neither is there

among us any that knoweth how long.

O God, how long shall
the adversary reproach?

shall the enemy blaspheme
thy name for ever?

Why withdrawest thou thy
hand, even thy right hand?

pluck it out of thy bosom.

For God is my King of old, working
salvation in the midst of the earth.

Thou didst divide the sea by thy
strength: thou brakest the heads

of the dragons in the waters.

Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in
pieces, and gavest him to be meat to

the people inhabiting the wilderness.

Thou didst cleave the fountain and the
flood: thou driedst up mighty rivers.

The day is thine, the night also is thine:
thou hast prepared the light and the sun.

Thou hast set all the borders of the
earth: thou hast made summer and winter.

Remember this, that the enemy hath
reproached, O Lord, and that the

foolish people have blasphemed thy name.

O deliver not the soul of thy turtledove
unto the multitude of the wicked: forget

not the congregation of thy poor for ever.

Have respect unto the covenant: for
the dark places of the earth are

full of the habitations of cruelty.

O let not the oppressed return ashamed:
let the poor and needy praise thy name.

Arise, O God, plead thine own
cause: remember how the foolish

man reproacheth thee daily.

Forget not the voice of thine enemies:
the tumult of those that rise up

against thee increaseth continually.
