시편 74편 NASB
- 1 O God why have You rejected us 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 inheritance; And this Mount Zion where You have dwelt.
- 3 Turn Your footsteps toward the perpetual ruins; The enemy has damaged everything within the sanctuary.
- 4 Your adversaries have roared in the midst of Your meeting place; They have set up their own standards for signs.
- 5 It seems as if one had lifted up His axe in a forest of trees.
- 6 And now all its carved work They smash with hatchet and hammers.
- 7 They have burned Your sanctuary to the ground; They have defiled the dwelling place of Your name.
- 8 They said in their heart "Let us completely subdue them." They have burned all the meeting places of God in the land.
- 9 We do not see our signs; There is no longer any prophet Nor is there any among us who knows how long.
- 10 How long O God will the adversary revile And the enemy spurn Your name forever?
- 11 Why do You withdraw Your hand even Your right hand? From within Your bosom destroy them!
- 12 Yet God is my king from of old Who works deeds of deliverance in the midst of the earth.
- 13 You divided the sea by Your strength; You broke the heads of the sea monsters in the waters.
- 14 You crushed the heads of Leviathan; You gave him as food for the creatures of the wilderness.
- 15 You broke open springs and torrents; You dried up ever-flowing streams.
- 16 Yours is the day Yours also is the night; You have prepared the light and the sun.
- 17 You have established all the boundaries of the earth; You have made summer and winter.
- 18 Remember this O LORD that the enemy has reviled And a foolish people has spurned Your name.
- 19 Do not deliver the soul of Your turtledove to the wild beast; Do not forget the life of Your afflicted forever.
- 20 Consider the covenant; For the dark places of the land are full of the habitations of violence.
- 21 Let not the oppressed return dishonored; Let the afflicted and needy praise Your name.
- 22 Arise O God and plead Your own cause; Remember how the foolish man reproaches You all day long.
- 23 Do not forget the voice of Your adversaries The uproar of those who rise against You which ascends continually.
