Darby - Psalms - 74

74:1  Why, OGod, hast thou cast off for ever? [why] doth thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture?

74:2  Remember thine assembly, which thou hast purchased of old, which thou hast redeemed [to be] the portion of thine inheritance, this mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt.

74:3  Lift up thy steps unto the perpetual desolations: everything in the sanctuary hath the enemy destroyed.

74:4  Thine adversaries roar in the midst of thy place of assembly; they set up their signs [for] signs.

74:5  [A man] was known as he could lift up axes in the thicket of trees;

74:6  And now they break down its carved work altogether, with hatchets and hammers.

74:7  They have set on fire thy sanctuary, they have profaned the habitation of thy name to the ground.

74:8  They said in their heart, Let us destroy them together: they have burned up allGod's places of assembly in the land.

74:9  We see not our signs; there is no more any prophet, neither is there among us any that knoweth how long.

74:10  How long, OGod, shall the adversary reproach? Shall the enemy contemn thy name for ever?

74:11  Why withdrawest thou thy hand, and thy right hand? [pluck it] out of thy bosom: consume [them].

74:12  ButGod is my king of old, accomplishing deliverances in the midst of the earth.

74:13  Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength; thou didst break the heads of the monsters on the waters:

74:14  Thou didst break in pieces the heads of leviathan, thou gavest him to be meat to those that people the desert.

74:15  Thou didst cleave fountain and torrent, thou driedst up ever-flowing rivers.

74:16  The day is thine, the night also is thine; thou hast prepared the moon and the sun:

74:17  Thou hast set all the borders of the earth; summer and winter — thou didst form them.

74:18  Remember this, that an enemy hath reproached Jehovah, and a foolish people have contemned thy name.

74:19  Give not up the soul of thy turtle-dove unto the wild beast; forget not the troop of thine afflicted for ever.

74:20  Have respect unto the covenant; for the dark places of the earth are full of the dwellings of violence.

74:21  Oh let not the oppressed one return ashamed; let the afflicted and needy praise thy name.

74:22  Rise up, OGod, plead thine own cause: remember how the foolish man reproacheth thee all the day;

74:23  Forget not the voice of thine adversaries: the tumult of those that rise up against thee ascendeth continually.
