Psalms 74:1-10

11O GodH430, why hast thou cast us offH2186 for everH5331? why doth thine angerH639 smokeH6225 against the sheepH6629 of thy pastureH4830?

2RememberH2142 thy congregationH5712, which thou hast purchasedH7069 of oldH6924; the rodH7626 of thine inheritanceH5159, which thou hast redeemedH1350; this mountH2022 ZionH6726, wherein thou hast dweltH7931.2

3Lift upH7311 thy feetH6471 unto the perpetualH5331 desolationsH4876; even all that the enemyH341 hath done wickedlyH7489 in the sanctuaryH6944.

4Thine enemiesH6887 roarH7580 in the midstH7130 of thy congregationsH4150; they set upH7760 their ensignsH226 for signsH226.

5A man was famousH3045 according as he had lifted upH4605H935 axesH7134 upon the thickH5442 treesH6086.

6But now they break downH1986 the carved workH6603 thereof at onceH3162 with axesH3781 and hammersH3597.

7They have castH7971 fireH784 into thy sanctuaryH4720, they have defiledH2490 by casting down the dwelling placeH4908 of thy nameH8034 to the groundH776.3

8They saidH559 in their heartsH3820, Let us destroyH3238 them togetherH3162: they have burned upH8313 all the synagoguesH4150 of GodH410 in the landH776.4

9We seeH7200 not our signsH226: there is no more any prophetH5030: neither is there among us any that knowethH3045 how longH5704.

10O GodH430, how long shall the adversaryH6862 reproachH2778? shall the enemyH341 blasphemeH5006 thy nameH8034 for everH5331?
