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