Psalm 74, Masquil of Asaph.

00:06.060 --> 00:09.360
O God, why hast thou cast us off forever?

00:10.280 --> 00:13.220
Why doth thine anger smoke against the
sheep of thy pasture?

00:14.400 --> 00:19.060
Remember thy congregation, which thou hast
purchased of old, the rod of thine

00:19.060 --> 00:23.880
inheritance, which thou hast redeemed,
this Mount Zion wherein thou hast dwelt.

00:25.100 --> 00:29.060
Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual
desolations, even all that the enemy hath

00:29.060 --> 00:30.480
done wickedly in the sanctuary.

00:31.660 --> 00:34.140
Thine enemies roar in the midst of thy
congregations.

00:35.020 --> 00:36.880
They set up their ensigns for signs.

00:38.160 --> 00:42.040
A man was famous according as he had
lifted up axes upon the thick trees.

00:43.160 --> 00:46.760
But now they break down the carved work
thereof at once with axes and hammers.

00:47.400 --> 00:49.640
They have cast fire into thy sanctuary.

00:50.180 --> 00:54.360
They have defiled by casting down the
dwelling place of thy name to the ground.

00:55.320 --> 00:58.880
They said in their hearts, let us destroy
them together.

00:59.460 --> 01:02.740
They have burned up all the synagogues of
God in the land.

01:03.980 --> 01:05.320
We see not our signs.

01:06.360 --> 01:07.680
There is no more any prophet.

01:08.440 --> 01:10.900
Neither is there among us any that knoweth
how long.

01:12.080 --> 01:15.100
O God, how long shall the adversary
reproach?

01:16.040 --> 01:18.340
Shall the enemy blaspheme thy name
forever?

01:19.440 --> 01:22.360
Why withdrawest thou thy hand,
even thy right hand?

01:23.100 --> 01:24.480
Pluck it out of thy bosom.

01:24.480 --> 01:29.200
For God is my King of old, working
salvation in the midst of the earth.

01:30.480 --> 01:32.940
Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength.

01:33.900 --> 01:36.120
Thou breakest the heads of the dragons in
the waters.

01:37.000 --> 01:41.340
Thou breakest the heads of Leviathan in
pieces, and gavest him to be meat to the

01:41.340 --> 01:42.660
people inhabiting the wilderness.

01:44.060 --> 01:46.100
Thou didst cleave the fountain in the
flood.

01:46.980 --> 01:48.440
Thou drightest up mighty rivers.

01:49.120 --> 01:50.320
The day is thine.

01:50.840 --> 01:52.440
The night also is thine.

01:53.260 --> 01:55.180
Thou hast prepared the light and the sun.

01:56.280 --> 01:58.340
Thou hast set all the borders of the
earth.

01:58.840 --> 02:00.460
Thou hast made summer and winter.

02:01.520 --> 02:06.200
Remember this, that the enemy hath
reproached, O Lord, and that the foolish

02:06.200 --> 02:07.960
people have blasphemed thy name.

02:09.140 --> 02:12.600
O deliver not the soul of thy turtle dove
unto the multitude of the wicked.

02:13.480 --> 02:15.920
Forget not the congregation of thy poor
forever.

02:17.280 --> 02:21.520
Have respect unto the covenant,
for the dark places of the earth are full

02:21.520 --> 02:23.020
of the habitations of cruelty.

02:24.380 --> 02:26.500
O let not the oppressed return ashamed.

02:27.160 --> 02:29.700
Let the poor and needy praise thy name.

02:30.420 --> 02:33.640
Arise, O God, plead thine own cause.

02:34.200 --> 02:36.780
Remember how the foolish man reproacheth
thee daily.

02:37.480 --> 02:39.520
Forget not the voice of thine enemies.

02:39.920 --> 02:44.300
The tumult of those that rise up against
thee increaseth continually.
