74:1 God, why have you forgotten me forever and have hardened your wrath against the sheep of your pasture?
74:2 Remember your congregation which you have possessed from the first, and you have saved the tribe of your inheritance, this Mount Zion in which you have dwelt.
74:3 Lift your Servants above those who are taken by your might - everyone who oppresses is the enemy of your Holiness.
74:4 Your enemies are boisterous within your assembly day; they have made their ensigns the signs.
74:6 They hewed down the doors together with axes, like a forest of trees with axes and with hammers.
74:7 They took and burned your holy place with fire and they defiled the Tabernacle of your Name in the land.
74:8 They said in her heart, “We will destroy them together and we will destroy all the feast days of God from the land.”
74:9 They have not seen their signs; there is no more a Prophet, neither is there a wise man with us.
74:10 How long, oh God, does the enemy reproach and rage against your Name - forever?
74:11 Why have you turned your hand and your right hand from within your assembly?
74:12 Our God is King who has performed salvation in the midst of the Earth.
74:13 You have separated the sea in your might and you have broken the heads of the dragons in the waters.
74:14 You broke the heads of Leviathan and you have given food to the mighty people.
74:15 You shook the springs in the valleys; you dried up mighty rivers.
74:16 The day is yours and yours is the night; you have prepared the light and the sun.
74:17 You set all the boundaries of the Earth; summer and winter, you have created them.
74:18 Lord Jehovah has remembered the reproach of the enemy; a foolish people angered your Name.
74:19 You will not give the soul that confesses you to destruction and you will never forget the souls of your poor.
74:20 Look, Lord Jehovah, at your covenant, because the dwellings of the Earth are filled with darkness and evil.
74:21 Let not the poor remain ashamed; let the afflicted and the poor praise your Name.
74:22 Rise up, oh God, and judge your judgment and remember your reproach from the fools every day.
74:23 Do not forget the voice of your enemies and the tumult which is always rising up of those who stand against you.
