Psalm 74

Psalm

A psalm of Asaph.

 A Psalm of Asaph. Surely God is good to Israel,

to those with a pure heart.

2 But as for me, my feet almost slipped;

my steps almost were caused to slide out from under me

3 because I was envious of the arrogant

when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.

4 For they have no ropes until their death,

and their belly is fat.

5 They are free from the trouble of man;

and with the rest of man they are not afflicted.

6 Therefore pride is a necklace for them;

a garment of violence covers them.

7 Their eyes bulge out from fatness;

the imaginations of their heart overflow.

8 They mock and speak with evil of oppression;

they speak from an elevated place.

9 They set their mouth in the heavens,

and their tongue goes through the earth.

10 Therefore his people turn here,

and waters of a full cup are drained by them.

11 And they say, “How does God know?

And is there knowledge in the Most High?”

12 Behold, these wicked;

they are always at ease, they increase in wealth.

13 Surely in vain I have kept my heart clean

and washed my hands in innocence.

14 For I have been stricken all of the day,

and punished every morning.

15 If I had said, “I will recount such things,”

Behold, I would have betrayed the generation of your children.

16 And when I thought how to understand this,

it was troublesome in my eyes

17 until I went into the sanctuaries of God;

then I discerned their end.

18 Surely you set them in slippery places;

you make them fall to destruction.

19 How they are brought to desolation as in a moment!

They come to an end, they perish, by terrors.

20 Like a dream after one awakes;

Lord, when you rouse yourself, you will despise their image.

21 When my heart was embittered,

and I was pierced in my kidneys,

22 I was stupid and I was not knowing;

I was an animal with you.

23 Yet I am continuously with you;

you hold me by my right hand.

24 You guide me with your counsel,

and afterward you will take me to glory.

25 Whom have I in heaven but you?

And besides you there is nothing on the earth I desire.

26 My flesh and my heart fail,

but God is the rock of my heart and my portion forever.

27 For behold, those who are far from you will perish;

you destroy every one being unfaithful to you.

28 But for me, the closeness of God for me is good.

I have made the Lord Yahweh my refuge,

in order to recount all your works.

Psalm

A maschil of Asaph.

 A Maskil of Asaph. Why God, have you rejected us forever?

Why does your nose smoke against the sheep of your pasture?

2 Remember your congregation, whom you aquired in ancient times,

which you have redeemed to be the tribe of your inheritance;

This Mount Zion, where you have dwelt.

3 Lift up your feet to the perpetual ruins;

all the evil that the enemy has done in the sanctuary.

4 Your adversaries have roared in the middle of your meeting place;

they have set up their signs as signs.

5 It is perceived like one bringing on high, axes against a forest of trees.

6 And now, with axe and hammers,

they break down all its engravings.

7 They have set your sanctuary on fire to the ground;

they have profaned the dwelling place of your name.

8 They said in their hearts, “We will oppress them altogether.”

They have burned all of the meeting places of God in the land.

9 We do not see signs for us;

there is no longer any prophet,

and there is no one among us knowing how long this will last.

10 Until when, God, will the adversary reproach?

Will the enemy treat your name with contempt forever?

11 Why do you withdraw your hand, your right hand?

Take it from within the fold of your garment and destroy them.

12 Yet God is my king from ancient times,

working acts of salvation in the midst of the earth.

13 You divided the sea by your strength;

you smashed the heads of the sea monsters in the waters.

14 You crushed the heads of leviathan;

you fed him to those living in the wilderness.

15 You broke open springs and streams;

you dried up flowing rivers.

16 The day is yours, and the night is yours also;

you set the sun and moon in place.

17 You have set all the borders of the earth;

you have made summer and winter.

18 Call to mind how the enemy hurled insults at you, Yahweh,

and that a foolish people has blasphemed your name.

19 Do not give the life of your dove to a wild animal.

Do not forget forever the life of your oppressed people.

20 Remember your covenant,

for the dark regions of the land are full of places of violence.

21 Do not let the oppressed be turned back in shame;

let the poor and oppressed praise your name.

22 Arise, God; defend your own honor;

call to mind how fools insult you all day long.

23 Do not forget the voice of your adversaries

or the uproar of those who continually defy you.
