Psalm 74 – A Song of Worship and Reflection

Psalm 74

74:1 O God, why hast thou cast us off for ever? why doth thine anger

smoke against the sheep of thy pasture?

74:2 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.

74:3 Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual desolations; even all that

the enemy hath done wickedly in the sanctuary.

74:4 Thine enemies roar in the midst of thy congregations; they set up

their ensigns for signs.

74:5 A man was famous according as he had lifted up axes upon the

thick trees.

74:6 But now they break down the carved work thereof at once with axes

and hammers.

74:7 They have cast fire into thy sanctuary, they have defiled by

casting down the dwelling place of thy name to the ground.

74:8 They said in their hearts, Let us destroy them together: they

have burned up all the synagogues of God 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 O God, how long shall the adversary reproach? shall the enemy

blaspheme thy name for ever?

74:11 Why withdrawest thou thy hand, even thy right hand? pluck it out

of thy bosom.

74:12 For God is my King of old, working salvation in the midst of the

earth.

74:13 Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength: thou brakest the

heads of the dragons in the waters.

74:14 Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces, and gavest him to

be meat to the people inhabiting the wilderness.

74:15 Thou didst cleave the fountain and the flood: thou driedst up

mighty rivers.

74:16 The day is thine, the night also is thine: thou hast prepared

the light and the sun.

74:17 Thou hast set all the borders of the earth: thou hast made

summer and winter.

74:18 Remember this, that the enemy hath reproached, O LORD, and that

the foolish people have blasphemed thy name.

74:19 O deliver not the soul of thy turtledove unto the multitude of

the wicked: forget not the congregation of thy poor for ever.

74:20 Have respect unto the covenant: for the dark places of the earth

are full of the habitations of cruelty.

74:21 O let not the oppressed return ashamed: let the poor and needy

praise thy name.

74:22 Arise, O God, plead thine own cause: remember how the foolish

man reproacheth thee daily.

74:23 Forget not the voice of thine enemies: the tumult of those that

rise up against thee increaseth continually.
