074:001

Remember thy congregation, which thou hast purchased of old; the rod of thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed; this mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt

074:002

Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual desolations; even all that the enemy hath done wickedly in the sanctuary

074:003

Thine enemies roar in the midst of thy congregations; they set up their ensigns for signs

074:004

A man was famous according as he had lifted up axes upon the thick trees

074:005

But now they break down the carved work thereof at once with axes and hammers

074:006

They have cast fire into thy sanctuary, they have defiled by casting down the dwelling place of thy name to the ground

074:007

They said in their hearts, Let us destroy them together: they have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land

074:008

We see not our signs: there is no more any prophet: neither is there among us any that knoweth how long

074:009

O God, how long shall the adversary reproach? shall the enemy blaspheme thy name for ever

074:010

Why withdrawest thou thy hand, even thy right hand? pluck it out of thy bosom

074:011

For God is my King of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth

074:012

Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength: thou brakest the heads of the dragons in the waters

074:013

Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces, and gavest him to be meat to the people inhabiting the wilderness

074:014

Thou didst cleave the fountain and the flood: thou driedst up mighty rivers

074:015

The day is thine, the night also is thine: thou hast prepared the light and the sun

074:016

Thou hast set all the borders of the earth: thou hast made summer and winter

074:017

Remember this, that the enemy hath reproached, O LORD, and that the foolish people have blasphemed thy name

074:018

O deliver not the soul of thy turtledove unto the multitude of the wicked: forget not the congregation of thy poor for ever

074:019

Have respect unto the covenant: for the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of cruelty

074:020

O let not the oppressed return ashamed: let the poor and needy praise thy name

074:021

Arise, O God, plead thine own cause: remember how the foolish man reproacheth thee daily

074:022

Forget not the voice of thine enemies: the tumult of those that rise up against thee increaseth continually
