Rotherham - Psalms - 74

74:1  Wherefore, O God, hast thou cast off utterly? Shall thine anger smoke against the flock of thine own pasturing?

74:2  Remember thine own assembly thou didst acquire aforetime, Thou didst redeem the tribe of thine own inheritance, Mount Zion, wherein thou didst take up thy habitation.

74:3  Lift up thy steps unto the places utterly unsafe, All the mischief!—the foe in the sanctuary!

74:4  Thine adversaries have roared in the midst of thine appointed meeting, They have set their ensigns as tokens!

74:5  One used to be known according as he carried up high—into the thicket of trees—the axes;

74:6  But, now, the doors thereof all together, with axes and hammers, they batter down.

74:7  They have cast, into the fire, thy sanctuary, To the ground, have they profaned the habitation of thy Name.

74:8  They have said in their heart, Let us suppress them altogether, They have burned up all the meeting-places of GOD in the land.

74:9  Our own signs, have we not seen,—There is no longer a prophet,—Neither is there with us, one who knoweth—How long!

74:10  How long, O God, shall the adversary, reproach? Shall the enemy revile thy Name perpetually?

74:11  Wherefore shouldst thou withdraw thy hand—thy right hand? [Bring it] out of the midst of thy bosom! [Selah.]

74:12  But, God, hath been my king from aforetime, Working Deliverances in the midst of the earth.

74:13  Thou, didst cleave asunder, in thy might, the sea, Thou didst break in pieces the heads of the Crocodiles, [till they floated] on the waters;

74:14  Thou, didst crush the heads of the Sea-Monster, Thou didst give him to be food, for the people of the deserts;

74:15  Thou, didst cleave open fountain and torrent, Thou, didst dry up rivers of steady flow:

74:16  Thine, is the day, Yea, thine, the night, Thou, didst establish moon and sun;

74:17  Thou, didst set up all the bounds of the earth, As for summer and winter, thou, didst form them!

74:18  Remember this, An enemy, hath reproached Yahweh, Yea, an impious people, have reviled thy Name.

74:19  Do not deliver up, to a wild beast, the life of thy turtle-dove, The living host of thine oppressed ones, do not forget perpetually.

74:20  Have respect to thy covenant, For the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of violence.

74:21  May the crushed one not again be confounded, As for the oppressed and the needy, let them praise thy Name.

74:22  Arise! O God, plead thine own cause, Remember the reproach of thee, from the impious one, all the day:

74:23  Do not forget the voice of thine adversaries, The noise of thine assailants, ascending continually.
