# Chapter 74
|
||||
1 O God, why have you rejected us so long?
|
||||
Why is your anger so intense against the sheep of your own pasture?
|
||||
2 Remember that we are the people you chose long ago,
|
||||
the tribe you redeemed as your own special possession!
|
||||
And remember Jerusalem, your home here on earth.
|
||||
3 Walk through the awful ruins of the city;
|
||||
see how the enemy has destroyed your sanctuary.
|
||||
4 There your enemies shouted their victorious battle cries;
|
||||
there they set up their battle standards.
|
||||
5 They swung their axes
|
||||
like woodcutters in a forest.
|
||||
6 With axes and picks,
|
||||
they smashed the carved paneling.
|
||||
7 They burned your sanctuary to the ground.
|
||||
They defiled the place that bears your name.
|
||||
8 Then they thought, “Let’s destroy everything!”
|
||||
So they burned down all the places where God was worshiped.
|
||||
9 We no longer see your miraculous signs.
|
||||
All the prophets are gone,
|
||||
and no one can tell us when it will end.
|
||||
10 How long, O God, will you allow our enemies to insult you?
|
||||
Will you let them dishonor your name forever?
|
||||
11 Why do you hold back your strong right hand?
|
||||
Unleash your powerful fist and destroy them.
|
||||
12 You, O God, are my king from ages past,
|
||||
bringing salvation to the earth.
|
||||
13 You split the sea by your strength
|
||||
and smashed the heads of the sea monsters.
|
||||
14 You crushed the heads of Leviathan
|
||||
and let the desert animals eat him.
|
||||
15 You caused the springs and streams to gush forth,
|
||||
and you dried up rivers that never run dry.
|
||||
16 Both day and night belong to you;
|
||||
you made the starlight and the sun.
|
||||
17 You set the boundaries of the earth,
|
||||
and you made both summer and winter.
|
||||
18 See how these enemies insult you, Lord.
|
||||
A foolish nation has dishonored your name.
|
||||
19 Don’t let these wild beasts destroy your turtledoves.
|
||||
Don’t forget your suffering people forever.
|
||||
20 Remember your covenant promises,
|
||||
for the land is full of darkness and violence!
|
||||
21 Don’t let the downtrodden be humiliated again.
|
||||
Instead, let the poor and needy praise your name.
|
||||
22 Arise, O God, and defend your cause.
|
||||
Remember how these fools insult you all day long.
|
||||
23 Don’t overlook what your enemies have said
|
||||
or their growing uproar.
