Psalm 74 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

A [fn]Maskil of Asaph.

God ^H430, why ^H4100 have You rejected ^H2186 us forever ^H5331?

Why does Your anger ^H639 smoke ^H6225 against the sheep ^H6629 of Your [fn]pasture ^H4830?

Remember ^H2142 Your congregation ^H5712, which You purchased ^H7069 of old ^H6924,

Which You have redeemed ^H1350 to be the tribe ^H7626 of Your inheritance ^H5159;

And this ^H2088 Mount ^H2022 Zion ^H6726, where You have dwelt ^H7931.

[fn]Step ^H7311 H6471 toward the [fn]irreparable ^H5331 ruins ^H4876;

The enemy ^H340 has damaged ^H7489 everything ^H3605 in the sanctuary ^H6944.

Your adversaries ^H6887 have roared ^H7580 in the midst ^H7130 of Your meeting ^H4150 place ^H4150;

They have set ^H7760 up ^H7760 their own signs ^H226 as signs ^H226.

It [fn]seems ^H3045 like one bringing ^H935 up

His axe ^H7134 into a [fn]forest ^H5441 of trees ^H6086.

And now ^H6258 they break ^H1986 down ^H1986 [fn]all ^H3162 its carved ^H6603 work ^H6603

With axe ^H3781 and hammers ^H3597.

They have [fn]burned ^H7971 H784 Your sanctuary ^H4720 [fn]to the ground ^H776;

They have defiled ^H2490 the dwelling ^H4908 place ^H4908 of Your name ^H8034.

They said ^H559 in their heart ^H3820, “Let’s [fn]completely ^H3162 [fn]subdue ^H3238 them.”

They have burned ^H8313 all ^H3605 the meeting ^H4150 places ^H4150 of God ^H410 in the land ^H776.

We do not see ^H7200 our signs ^H226;

There ^H369 is ^H369 no ^H369 longer ^H5750 any prophet ^H5030,

Nor ^H3808 is there anyone among ^H854 us who knows ^H3045 how ^H4100 long ^H5704.

How ^H4970 long ^H5704 H4970, God ^H430, will the enemy ^H6862 taunt ^H2778 You?

Shall the enemy ^H340 treat ^H5006 Your name ^H8034 disrespectfully ^H5006 forever ^H5331?

Why ^H4100 do You withdraw ^H7725 Your hand ^H3027, even Your right ^H3225 hand ^H3225?

Extend it from Your chest ^H2436 and destroy ^H3615 them!

Yet God ^H430 is my King ^H4428 from long ^H6924 ago ^H6924,

Who performs ^H6466 acts ^H3444 of ^H3444 salvation ^H3444 in the midst ^H7130 of the earth ^H776.

[fn]You divided ^H6565 the sea ^H3220 by Your strength ^H5797;

[fn]You broke ^H7665 the heads ^H7218 of the sea ^H8577 monsters ^H8577 [fn]in the waters ^H4325.

[fn]You crushed ^H7533 the heads ^H7218 of [fn]Leviathan ^H3882;

You gave ^H5414 him as food ^H3978 for the [fn]creatures ^H5971 of the wilderness ^H6728.

[fn]You broke ^H1234 open ^H1234 springs ^H4599 and torrents ^H5158;

[fn]You dried ^H3001 up ^H3001 ever-flowing ^H386 streams ^H5104.

Yours is the day ^H3117, Yours also ^H637 is the night ^H3915;

[fn]You have prepared ^H3559 the [fn]light ^H3974 and the sun ^H8121.

[fn]You have established ^H5324 all ^H3605 the boundaries ^H1367 of the earth ^H776;

[fn]You have [fn]created ^H3335 summer ^H7019 and winter ^H2779.

Remember ^H2142 this ^H2088, [fn]LORD ^H3068, that the enemy ^H340 has taunted ^H2778 You,

And a foolish ^H5036 people ^H5971 has treated ^H5006 Your name ^H8034 disrespectfully ^H5006.

Do not give ^H5414 the soul ^H5315 of Your turtledove ^H8449 to the wild ^H2416 animal ^H2416;

Do not forget ^H7911 the life ^H2416 of Your afflicted ^H6041 forever ^H5331.

Consider ^H5027 the covenant ^H1285;

For the dark ^H4285 places ^H4285 of the land ^H776 are full ^H4390 of the places ^H4999 of violence ^H2555.

May the oppressed ^H1790 person ^H1790 not return ^H7725 dishonored ^H3637;

May the afflicted ^H6041 and the needy ^H34 praise ^H1984 Your name ^H8034.

Arise ^H6965, God ^H430, and plead ^H7378 Your own cause ^H7379;

Remember ^H2142 [fn]how the foolish ^H5036 person ^H5036 taunts ^H2781 You all ^H3605 day ^H3117 long.

Do not forget ^H7911 the voice ^H6963 of Your adversaries ^H6887,

The uproar ^H7588 of those who rise ^H6965 against You, which ascends ^H5927 continually ^H8548.
