(Psa 74:1) O God, why hast thou cast {us} off for ever? {why} doth thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture?
(Psa 74:2) 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.
(Psa 74:3) Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual desolations; {even} all {that} the enemy hath done wickedly in the sanctuary.
(Psa 74:4) Thine enemies roar in the midst of thy congregations; they set up their ensigns {for} signs.
(Psa 74:5) {A man} was famous according as he had lifted up axes upon the thick trees.
(Psa 74:6) But now they break down the carved work thereof at once with axes and hammers.
(Psa 74:7) They have cast fire into thy sanctuary, they have defiled {by casting down} the dwelling place of thy name to the ground.
(Psa 74:8) They said in their hearts, Let us destroy them together: they have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land.
(Psa 74:9) We see not our signs: {there is} no more any prophet: neither {is there} among us any that knoweth how long.
(Psa 74:10) O God, how long shall the adversary reproach? shall the enemy blaspheme thy name for ever?
(Psa 74:11) Why withdrawest thou thy hand, even thy right hand? pluck {it} out of thy bosom.
(Psa 74:12) For God {is} my King of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth.
(Psa 74:13) Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength: thou brakest the heads of the dragons in the waters.
(Psa 74:14) Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces, {and} gavest him {to be} meat to the people inhabiting the wilderness.
(Psa 74:15) Thou didst cleave the fountain and the flood: thou driedst up mighty rivers.
(Psa 74:16) The day {is} thine, the night also {is} thine: thou hast prepared the light and the sun.
(Psa 74:17) Thou hast set all the borders of the earth: thou hast made summer and winter.
(Psa 74:18) Remember this, {that} the enemy hath reproached, O Lord, and {that} the foolish people have blasphemed thy name.
(Psa 74:19) O deliver not the soul of thy turtledove unto the multitude {of the wicked}: forget not the congregation of thy poor for ever.
(Psa 74:20) Have respect unto the covenant: for the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of cruelty.
(Psa 74:21) O let not the oppressed return ashamed: let the poor and needy praise thy name.
(Psa 74:22) Arise, O God, plead thine own cause: remember how the foolish man reproacheth thee daily.
(Psa 74:23) Forget not the voice of thine enemies: the tumult of those that rise up against thee increaseth continually.
