Psalm 74 (WEBP)

[1] God, why have you rejected us forever? Why does your anger smolder against the sheep of your pasture?
[2] Remember your congregation, which you purchased of old, which you have redeemed to be the tribe of your inheritance: Mount Zion, in which you have lived.
[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 assembly. They have set up their standards as signs.
[5] They behaved like men wielding axes, cutting through a thicket of trees.
[6] Now they break all its carved work down with hatchet and hammers.
[7] They have burned your sanctuary to the ground. They have profaned the dwelling place of your Name.
[8] They said in their heart, “We will crush them completely.” They have burned up all the places in the land where God was worshiped.
[9] We see no miraculous signs. There is no longer any prophet, neither is there among us anyone who knows how long.
[10] How long, God, shall the adversary reproach? Shall the enemy blaspheme your name forever?
[11] Why do you draw back your hand, even your right hand? Take it from your chest and consume them!
[12] Yet God is my King of old, working salvation throughout the earth.
[13] You divided the sea by your strength. You broke the heads of the sea monsters in the waters.
[14] You broke the heads of Leviathan in pieces. You gave him as food to people and desert creatures.
[15] You opened up spring and stream. You dried up mighty rivers.
[16] The day is yours, the night is also yours. You have prepared the light and the sun.
[17] You have set all the boundaries of the earth. You have made summer and winter.
[18] Remember this, that the enemy has mocked you, Yahweh. Foolish people have blasphemed your name.
[19] Don’t deliver the soul of your dove to wild beasts. Don’t forget the life of your poor forever.
[20] Honor your covenant, for haunts of violence fill the dark places of the earth.
[21] Don’t let the oppressed return ashamed. Let the poor and needy praise your name.
[22] Arise, God! Plead your own cause. Remember how the foolish man mocks you all day.
[23] Don’t forget the voice of your adversaries. The tumult of those who rise up against you ascends continually.

[1] [73:1] συνεσεως τω ασαφ ινα τι απωσω ο θεος εις τελος ωργισθη ο θυμος σου επι προβατα νομης σου
[2] [73:2] μνησθητι της συναγωγης σου ης εκτησω απ αρχης ελυτρωσω ραβδον κληρονομιας σου ορος σιων τουτο ο κατεσκηνωσας εν αυτω
[3] [73:3] επαρον τας χειρας σου επι τας υπερηφανιας αυτων εις τελος οσα επονηρευσατο ο εχθρος εν τοις αγιοις σου
[4] [73:4] και ενεκαυχησαντο οι μισουντες σε εν μεσω της εορτης σου εθεντο τα σημεια αυτων σημεια και ουκ εγνωσαν
[5] [73:5] ως εις την εισοδον υπερανω
[6] [73:6] ως εν δρυμω ξυλων αξιναις εξεκοψαν τας θυρας αυτης επι το αυτο εν πελεκει και λαξευτηριω κατερραξαν αυτην
[7] [73:7] ενεπυρισαν εν πυρι το αγιαστηριον σου εις την γην εβεβηλωσαν το σκηνωμα του ονοματος σου
[8] [73:8] ειπαν εν τη καρδια αυτων η συγγενεια αυτων επι το αυτο δευτε και κατακαυσωμεν πασας τας εορτας του θεου απο της γης
[9] [73:9] τα σημεια ημων ουκ ειδομεν ουκ εστιν ετι προφητης και ημας ου γνωσεται ετι
[10] [73:10] εως ποτε ο θεος ονειδιει ο εχθρος παροξυνει ο υπεναντιος το ονομα σου εις τελος
[11] [73:11] ινα τι αποστρεφεις την χειρα σου και την δεξιαν σου εκ μεσου του κολπου σου εις τελος
[12] [73:12] ο δε θεος βασιλευς ημων προ αιωνος ειργασατο σωτηριαν εν μεσω της γης
[13] [73:13] συ εκραταιωσας εν τη δυναμει σου την θαλασσαν συ συνετριψας τας κεφαλας των δρακοντων επι του υδατος
[14] [73:14] συ συνεθλασας τας κεφαλας του δρακοντος εδωκας αυτον βρωμα λαοις τοις αιθιοψιν
[15] [73:15] συ διερρηξας πηγας και χειμαρρους συ εξηρανας ποταμους ηθαμ
[16] [73:16] ση εστιν η ημερα και ση εστιν η νυξ συ κατηρτισω φαυσιν και ηλιον
[17] [73:17] συ εποιησας παντα τα ορια της γης θερος και εαρ συ επλασας αυτα
[18] [73:18] μνησθητι ταυτης εχθρος ωνειδισεν τον κυριον και λαος αφρων παρωξυνεν το ονομα σου
[19] [73:19] μη παραδως τοις θηριοις ψυχην εξομολογουμενην σοι των ψυχων των πενητων σου μη επιλαθη εις τελος
[20] [73:20] επιβλεψον εις την διαθηκην σου οτι επληρωθησαν οι εσκοτισμενοι της γης οικων ανομιων
[21] [73:21] μη αποστραφητω τεταπεινωμενος κατησχυμμενος πτωχος και πενης αινεσουσιν το ονομα σου
[22] [73:22] αναστα ο θεος δικασον την δικην σου μνησθητι των ονειδισμων σου των υπο αφρονος ολην την ημεραν
[23] [73:23] μη επιλαθη της φωνης των ικετων σου η υπερηφανια των μισουντων σε ανεβη δια παντος προς σε
