Psalm 74

Holman Christian Standard Bible CSB

1 Why have You rejected [us] forever, God? Why does Your anger burn against the sheep of Your pasture?

2 Remember Your congregation, which You purchased long ago and redeemed as the tribe for Your own possession. [Remember] Mount Zion where You dwell.

3 Make Your way to the everlasting ruins, to all that the enemy has destroyed in the sanctuary.

4 Your adversaries roared in the meeting place where You met with us. They set up their emblems as signs.

5 It was like men in a thicket of trees, wielding axes,

6 then smashing all the carvings with hatchets and picks.

7 They set Your sanctuary on fire; they utterly desecrated the dwelling place of Your name.

8 They said in their hearts, "Let us oppress them relentlessly." They burned down every place throughout the land where God met with us.

9 We don't see any signs for us. There is no longer a prophet. And none of us knows how long this will last.

10 God, how long will the foe mock? Will the enemy insult Your name forever?

11 Why do You hold back Your hand? Stretch out Your right hand and destroy [them]!

12 God my king is from ancient times, performing saving acts on the earth.

13 You divided the sea with Your strength; You smashed the heads of the sea monsters in the waters;

14 You crushed the heads of Leviathan; You fed him to the creatures of the desert.

15 You opened up springs and streams; You dried up ever-flowing rivers.

16 The day is Yours, also the night; You established the moon and the sun.

17 You set all the boundaries of the earth; You made summer and winter.

18 Remember this: the enemy has mocked the Lord, and a foolish people has insulted Your name.

19 Do not give the life of Your dove to beasts; do not forget the lives of Your poor people forever.

20 Consider the covenant, for the dark places of the land are full of violence.

21 Do not let the oppressed turn away in shame; let the poor and needy praise Your name.

22 Arise, God, defend Your cause! Remember the insults that fools bring against You all day long.

23 Do not forget the clamor of Your adversaries, the tumult of Your opponents that goes up constantly.

English Standard Version ESV

1 O God, why do you cast us off forever? Why does your anger smoke against the sheep of your pasture?

2 Remember your congregation, which you have purchased of old, which you have redeemed to be the tribe of your heritage! Remember Mount Zion, where you have dwelt.

3 Direct your steps to the perpetual ruins; the enemy has destroyed everything in the sanctuary!

4 Your foes have roared in the midst of your meeting place; they set up their own signs for signs.

5 They were like those who swing axes in a forest of trees.

6 And all its carved wood they broke down with hatchets and hammers.

7 They set your sanctuary on fire; they profaned the dwelling place of your name, bringing it down to the ground.

8 They said to themselves, “We will utterly subdue them”; they burned all the meeting places of God in the land.

9 We do not see our signs; there is no longer any prophet, and there is none among us who knows how long.

10 How long, O God, is the foe to scoff? Is the enemy to revile your name forever?

11 Why do you hold back your hand, your right hand? Take it from the fold of your garment and destroy them!

12 Yet God my King is from of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth.

13 You divided the sea by your might; you broke the heads of the sea monsters on the waters.

14 You crushed the heads of Leviathan; you gave him as food for the creatures of the wilderness.

15 You split open springs and brooks; you dried up ever-flowing streams.

16 Yours is the day, yours also the night; you have established the heavenly lights and the sun.

17 You have fixed all the boundaries of the earth; you have made summer and winter.

18 Remember this, O Lord, how the enemy scoffs, and a foolish people reviles your name.

19 Do not deliver the soul of your dove to the wild beasts; do not forget the life of your poor forever.

20 Have regard for the covenant, for the dark places of the land are full of the habitations of violence.

21 Let not the downtrodden turn back in shame; let the poor and needy praise your name.

22 Arise, O God, defend your cause; remember how the foolish scoff at you all the day!

23 Do not forget the clamor of your foes, the uproar of those who rise against you, which goes up continually!
