ABP - Psalms - 74

74:1  O God, why did you thrust us away unto the end? Why [2provoked to anger 1is your rage] against the sheep of your pasture?

74:2  Remember your congregation! of which you acquired from the beginning. You ransomed the rod of your inheritance; [2mount 3Zion 1this] where you encamped in it.

74:3  Lift up your hands against their pride unto completion! for as much as [3did wickedly 1the 2enemy] in your holy place.

74:4  And [4boasted 1the 2ones detesting 3you] in the midst of your holiday; they set their signs for signs.

74:5  And they knew not as in the conclusion above, as [2in 3the forest 4of woods 5with axes 1they cut down],

74:6  so [2its doors 3together 4with 5a hewing axe 6and 7chisel 1they broke down].

74:7  They set [2on 3fire 1your sanctuary] to the ground. They profaned the tent of your name.

74:8  [3said 4in 5their heart 1Their kin 2together], Come and let us cause to cease all the holidays of God from the land!

74:9  [3our signs 1We did not 2see]; there is not yet a prophet; and one of us does not know any longer.

74:10  For how long, O God, shall [3berate 1the 2enemy]? He provokes the opposition of your name to the end.

74:11  Why did you turn away your hand, even your right hand from the midst of your bosom to the end?

74:12  But God our king is before the eon. He worked deliverance in the midst of the earth.

74:13  You held [3in check 4by 5your power 1the 2sea]. You broke the heads of the dragons upon the water.

74:14  You fractured the heads of the dragon; you gave him for food [3peoples 1to the 2Ethiopian].

74:15  You tore open the springs and rushing streams. You dried the rivers of continuance.

74:16  Yours is the day, and yours is the night; you fashioned giving light and the sun.

74:17  You made all the boundaries of the earth; summer and spring, you shaped them.

74:18  Remember this! an enemy berated the lord, and [2people 1a foolish] provoked your name.

74:19  You should not deliver up [4to the 5wild beasts 1a soul 2making acknowledgment 3to you]; of the souls of your needy you should not forget to the end.

74:20  Look unto your covenant! for [3filled 1the ones 2being darkened] the earth with houses of lawless deeds.

74:21  Let not [2be turned away 1the one being humbled] being disgraced! The poor and needy shall praise your name.

74:22  Rise up, O God, adjudicate your cause! Remember your scorning by the fool the entire day!

74:23  You should not forget the voice of your servants. The pride of the ones detesting you ascended continually.
