Psalms 74:1-11

1O GodH430, whyH4100 hast thou cast usH6629 off for everH5331? whyH4100 doth thine angerH639 smokeH6225 against the sheepH6629 of thy pastureH4830?

2RememberH2142 thy congregationH5712, whichH2088 thou hast purchasedH7069 of old, whichH2088 thou hast redeemedH1350 to be the tribeH7626 of thine inheritanceH5159; and mountH2022 ZionH6726, wherein thou hast dweltH7931.

3LiftH7311 upH7311 thy feetH6471 unto the perpetualH5331 ruinsH4876, allH3605 the evilH7489 that the enemyH341 hath doneH3605 in the sanctuaryH6944.

4Thine adversariesH6887 have roaredH7580 in the midstH7130 of thine assemblyH4150; they have setH7760 upH7760 their ensigns for signsH226.

5They seemed as men that liftedH935 upH935 axesH7134 uponH935 a thicketH5442 of treesH6086.

6And nowH6258 allH3162 the carvedH6603 workH6603 thereof togetherH3162 they break downH1986 with hatchetH3781 and hammersH3597.

7They have setH7971 thy sanctuaryH4720 on fireH784; they have profanedH2490 the dwellingH4908 placeH4908 of thy nameH8034 evenH776 to the groundH776.

8They saidH559 in their heartH3820, Let usH559 make havoc of them altogetherH3605: they have burnedH8313 upH3605 allH3605 the synagogues of GodH410 in the landH776.

9WeH5704 seeH7200 notH3808 our signsH226: there is noH3808 moreH5750 anyH5750 prophetH5030; neitherH3808 is there among usH3045 anyH5750 that knoweth howH4100 longH5704.

10HowH4970 longH5704, O GodH430, shall the adversary reproachH2778? shall the enemyH341 blasphemeH5006 thy nameH8034 for everH5331?

11WhyH4100 drawest thou backH7725 thy handH3027, even thy rightH3225 handH3027? pluck it outH4100 of thy bosom and consumeH3615 them.
