YLT - Psalms - 74

74:1  An Instruction of Asaph. Why, O God, hast Thou cast off for ever? Thine anger smoketh against the flock of Thy pasture.

74:2  Remember Thy company. Thou didst purchase of old, Thou didst redeem the rod of Thy inheritance, This mount Zion--Thou didst dwell in it.

74:3  Lift up Thy steps to the perpetual desolations, Everything the enemy did wickedly in the sanctuary.

74:4  Roared have thine adversaries, In the midst of Thy meeting-places, They have set their ensigns as ensigns.

74:5  He is known as one bringing in on high Against a thicket of wood--axes.

74:6  And now, its carvings together With axe and hatchet they break down,

74:7  They have sent into fire Thy sanctuary, to the earth they polluted the tabernacle of Thy name,

74:8  They said in their hearts, `Let us oppress them together,' They did burn all the meeting-places of God in the land.

74:9  Our ensigns we have not seen, There is no more a prophet, Nor with us is one knowing how long.

74:10  Till when, O God, doth an adversary reproach? Doth an enemy despise thy name for ever?

74:11  Why dost Thou turn back Thy hand, Even Thy right hand? From the midst of Thy bosom remove it .

74:12  And God is my king of old, Working salvation in the midst of the earth.

74:13  Thou hast broken by Thy strength a sea- monster , Thou hast shivered Heads of dragons by the waters,

74:14  Thou hast broken the heads of leviathan, Thou makest him food, For the people of the dry places.

74:15  Thou hast cleaved a fountain and a stream, Thou hast dried up perennial flowings.

74:16  Thine is the day, also Thine is the night, Thou hast prepared a light giver--the sun.

74:17  Thou hast set up all the borders of earth, Summer and winter Thou hast formed them.

74:18  Remember this--an enemy reproached Jehovah, And a foolish people have despised Thy name.

74:19  Give not up to a company, The soul of Thy turtle-dove, The company of Thy poor ones forget not for ever.

74:20  Look attentively to the covenant, For the dark places of earth, Have been full of habitations of violence.

74:21  Let not the oppressed turn back ashamed, Let the poor and needy praise Thy name,

74:22  Arise, O God, plead Thy plea, Remember Thy reproach from a fool all the day.

74:23  Forget not the voice of Thine adversaries, The noise of Thy withstanders is going up continually!
