Maschil of Asaph. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 74:1} O God, why hast thou cast us off for ever? [why] doth thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture? ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 74:3} Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual desolations; [even] all [that] the enemy hath done wickedly in the sanctuary. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 74:4} Thine enemies roar in the midst of thy congregations; they set up their ensigns [for] signs. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 74:5} [A man] was famous according as he had lifted up axes upon the thick trees. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 74:6} But now they break down the carved work thereof at once with axes and hammers. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 74:7} They have cast fire into thy sanctuary, they have defiled [by casting down] the dwelling place of thy name to the ground. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 74:8} They said in their hearts, Let us destroy them together: they have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 74:9} We see not our signs: [there is] no more any prophet: neither [is there] among us any that knoweth how long. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 74:10} O God, how long shall the adversary reproach? shall the enemy blaspheme thy name for ever? ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 74:11} Why withdrawest thou thy hand, even thy right hand? pluck [it] out of thy bosom. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 74:12} For God [is] my King of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 74:13} Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength: thou brakest the heads of the dragons in the waters. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 74:14} Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces, [and] gavest him [to be] meat to the people inhabiting the wilderness. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 74:15} Thou didst cleave the fountain and the flood: thou driedst up mighty rivers. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 74:16} The day [is] thine, the night also [is] thine: thou hast prepared the light and the sun. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 74:17} Thou hast set all the borders of the earth: thou hast made summer and winter. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 74:18} Remember this, [that] the enemy hath reproached, O LORD, and [that] the foolish people have blasphemed thy name. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 74:20} Have respect unto the covenant: for the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of cruelty. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 74:21} O let not the oppressed return ashamed: let the poor and needy praise thy name. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 74:22} Arise, O God, plead thine own cause: remember how the foolish man reproacheth thee daily. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 74:23} Forget not the voice of thine enemies: the tumult of those that rise up against thee increaseth continually.
