Psalm 74

Prayer for Israel

A Maskil of Asaph.(A)

Why have You rejected us forever, God?
Why does Your anger burn
against the sheep of Your pasture?(B)
Remember Your congregation,
which You purchased long ago
and redeemed as the tribe for Your own possession.(C)
Remember Mount Zion where You dwell.(D)
Make Your way[a] to the everlasting ruins,
to all that the enemy has destroyed in the sanctuary.(E)

  1. Psalm 74:3 Lit Lift up Your steps

74 O God, why hast thou cast us off for ever? why doth thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture?

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.

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