Psalms Chapter 74 תְּהִלִּים

    א  מַשְׂכִּיל, לְאָסָף:
לָמָה אֱלֹהִים, זָנַחְתָּ לָנֶצַח;    יֶעְשַׁן אַפְּךָ, בְּצֹאן מַרְעִיתֶךָ.
1 Maschil of Asaph. {N}
Why, O God, hast Thou cast us off for ever? Why doth Thine anger smoke against the flock of Thy pasture?
    ב  זְכֹר עֲדָתְךָ, קָנִיתָ קֶּדֶם—    גָּאַלְתָּ, שֵׁבֶט נַחֲלָתֶךָ;
הַר-צִיּוֹן,    זֶה שָׁכַנְתָּ בּוֹ.
2 Remember Thy congregation, which Thou hast gotten of old, which Thou hast redeemed to be the tribe of Thine inheritance; {N}
and mount Zion, wherein Thou hast dwelt.
    ג  הָרִימָה פְעָמֶיךָ, לְמַשֻּׁאוֹת נֶצַח;    כָּל-הֵרַע אוֹיֵב בַּקֹּדֶשׁ. 3 Lift up Thy steps because of the perpetual ruins, even all the evil that the enemy hath done in the sanctuary.
    ד  שָׁאֲגוּ צֹרְרֶיךָ, בְּקֶרֶב מוֹעֲדֶךָ;    שָׂמוּ אוֹתֹתָם אֹתוֹת. 4 Thine adversaries have roared in the midst of Thy meeting-place; they have set up their own signs for signs.
    ה  יִוָּדַע, כְּמֵבִיא לְמָעְלָה;    בִּסְבָךְ-עֵץ, קַרְדֻּמּוֹת. 5 It seemed as when men wield upwards axes in a thicket of trees.
    ו  ועת (וְעַתָּה), פִּתּוּחֶיהָ יָּחַד—    בְּכַשִּׁיל וְכֵילַפּוֹת, יַהֲלֹמוּן. 6 And now all the carved work thereof together they strike down with hatchet and hammers.
    ז  שִׁלְחוּ בָאֵשׁ, מִקְדָּשֶׁךָ;    לָאָרֶץ, חִלְּלוּ מִשְׁכַּן-שְׁמֶךָ. 7 They have set Thy sanctuary on fire; they have profaned the dwelling-place of Thy name even to the ground.
    ח  אָמְרוּ בְלִבָּם, נִינָם יָחַד;    שָׂרְפוּ כָל-מוֹעֲדֵי-אֵל בָּאָרֶץ. 8 They said in their heart: ‘Let us make havoc of them altogether’; they have burned up all the meeting-places of God in the land.
    ט  אוֹתֹתֵינוּ, לֹא רָאִינוּ:    אֵין-עוֹד נָבִיא; וְלֹא-אִתָּנוּ, יֹדֵעַ עַד-מָה. 9 We see not our signs; there is no more any prophet; neither is there among us any that knoweth how long.
    י  עַד-מָתַי אֱלֹהִים, יְחָרֶף צָר;    יְנָאֵץ אוֹיֵב שִׁמְךָ לָנֶצַח. 10 How long, O God, shall the adversary reproach? Shall the enemy blaspheme Thy name for ever?
    יא  לָמָּה תָשִׁיב יָדְךָ, וִימִינֶךָ;    מִקֶּרֶב חוקך (חֵיקְךָ) כַלֵּה. 11 Why withdrawest Thou Thy hand, even Thy right hand? Draw it out of Thy bosom and consume them.
    יב  וֵאלֹהִים, מַלְכִּי מִקֶּדֶם;    פֹּעֵל יְשׁוּעוֹת, בְּקֶרֶב הָאָרֶץ. 12 Yet God is my King of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth.
    יג  אַתָּה פוֹרַרְתָּ בְעָזְּךָ יָם;    שִׁבַּרְתָּ רָאשֵׁי תַנִּינִים, עַל-הַמָּיִם. 13 Thou didst break the sea in pieces by Thy strength; Thou didst shatter the heads of the sea-monsters in the waters.
    יד  אַתָּה רִצַּצְתָּ, רָאשֵׁי לִוְיָתָן;    תִּתְּנֶנּוּ מַאֲכָל, לְעָם לְצִיִּים. 14 Thou didst crush the heads of leviathan, Thou gavest him to be food to the folk inhabiting the wilderness.
    טו  אַתָּה בָקַעְתָּ, מַעְיָן וָנָחַל;    אַתָּה הוֹבַשְׁתָּ, נַהֲרוֹת אֵיתָן. 15 Thou didst cleave fountain and brook; Thou driedst up ever-flowing rivers.
    טז  לְךָ יוֹם, אַף-לְךָ לָיְלָה;    אַתָּה הֲכִינוֹתָ, מָאוֹר וָשָׁמֶשׁ. 16 Thine is the day, Thine also the night; Thou hast established luminary and sun.
    יז  אַתָּה הִצַּבְתָּ, כָּל-גְּבוּלוֹת אָרֶץ;    קַיִץ וָחֹרֶף, אַתָּה יְצַרְתָּם. 17 Thou hast set all the borders of the earth; Thou hast made summer and winter.
    יח  זְכָר-זֹאת—אוֹיֵב, חֵרֵף יְהוָה;    וְעַם נָבָל, נִאֲצוּ שְׁמֶךָ. 18 Remember this, how the enemy hath reproached the LORD, and how a base people have blasphemed Thy name.
    יט  אַל-תִּתֵּן לְחַיַּת, נֶפֶשׁ תּוֹרֶךָ;    חַיַּת עֲנִיֶּיךָ, אַל-תִּשְׁכַּח לָנֶצַח. 19 O deliver not the soul of Thy turtle-dove unto the wild beast; forget not the life of Thy poor for ever.
    כ  הַבֵּט לַבְּרִית:    כִּי מָלְאוּ מַחֲשַׁכֵּי-אֶרֶץ, נְאוֹת חָמָס. 20 Look upon the covenant; for the dark places of the land are full of the habitations of violence.
    כא  אַל-יָשֹׁב דַּךְ נִכְלָם;    עָנִי וְאֶבְיוֹן, יְהַלְלוּ שְׁמֶךָ. 21 O let not the oppressed turn back in confusion; let the poor and needy praise Thy name.
    כב  קוּמָה אֱלֹהִים, רִיבָה רִיבֶךָ;    זְכֹר חֶרְפָּתְךָ מִנִּי-נָבָל, כָּל-הַיּוֹם. 22 Arise, O God, plead Thine own cause; remember Thy reproach all the day at the hand of the base man.
    כג  אַל-תִּשְׁכַּח, קוֹל צֹרְרֶיךָ;    שְׁאוֹן קָמֶיךָ, עֹלֶה תָמִיד. 23 Forget not the voice of Thine adversaries, the tumult of those that rise up against Thee which ascendeth continually. {P}
