詩篇 74
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
祈求上帝眷顧祂的子民
亞薩的訓誨詩。
74 上帝啊，
你為何永遠丟棄了我們？
你為何對自己草場上的羊大發雷霆？
2 求你眷顧你在古時所救贖的子民，
你揀選為產業的族類，
求你眷顧你所居住的錫安山。
3 求你前去觀看那久已荒涼之地，
看看敵人對聖所的破壞。
4 他們在你聖所中高聲叫嚷，
豎立起自己的旗幟。
5 他們大肆毀壞，
好像人掄起斧頭砍伐樹林。
6 他們用斧頭、錘子把雕刻的牆板都搗毀了。
7 他們縱火焚燒你的聖所，
把它夷為平地，
褻瀆了你的居所。
8 他們心裡說：「我們要徹底毀滅一切。」
於是他們燒毀了境內所有敬拜上帝的地方。
9 我們再也看不到你的徵兆，
先知也沒有了。
無人知道這一切何時才會結束。
10 上帝啊，
仇敵嘲笑你的名要到何時呢？
他們要永無休止地辱罵你嗎？
11 你為何不伸出大能的右手？
求你出手給他們致命的一擊。
12 上帝啊，
你自古以來就是我的王，
你給世上帶來拯救。
13 你曾用大能分開海水，
打碎水中巨獸的頭。
14 你曾打碎海怪的頭，
把牠丟給曠野的禽獸吃。
15 你曾開闢泉源和溪流，
也曾使滔滔河水枯乾。
16 白晝和黑夜都屬於你，
你設立了日月。
17 你劃定大地的疆界，
又創造了盛夏和寒冬。
18 耶和華啊，
求你記住敵人對你的嘲笑和愚妄人對你的褻瀆。
19 求你不要把你的子民交給仇敵[a]，
不要永遠對你受苦的子民棄置不顧。
20 求你顧念你的應許，
因地上黑暗之處充滿了暴力。
21 求你不要讓受壓迫的人羞愧而去。
願貧窮困苦的人讚美你的名。
22 上帝啊，求你起來維護自己，
別忘記愚妄人怎樣整天嘲笑你。
23 不要對你仇敵的喧嚷置之不理，
與你為敵的人不停地叫囂。

Psalm 74
Legacy Standard Bible
Yet God Is My King
A [a]Maskil of Asaph.
74 Why, O God? Have You (A)rejected us forever?
Why does Your anger (B)smoke against the (C)sheep of Your [b]pasture?
2 Remember Your congregation, which You have (D)purchased of old,
Which You have (E)redeemed to be the (F)tribe of Your inheritance;
And this Mount (G)Zion, where You have dwelt.
3 Lift up Your steps toward the (H)perpetual ruins;
The enemy (I)has damaged everything within the sanctuary.
4 Your adversaries have (J)roared in the midst of Your meeting place;
They have set up their (K)own signs (L)for signs.
5 Each seems like one who lifts up
[c]An (M)axe against the undergrowth of trees.
6 And now its (N)carved work altogether
They smash with hatchet and [d]hammers.
7 They have (O)set Your sanctuary on fire;
By bringing it to the ground, they have (P)defiled the dwelling place of Your name.
8 They (Q)said in their heart, “Let us [e]completely [f]subdue them.”
They have burned all the meeting places of God in the land.
9 We do not see our (R)signs;
There is (S)no longer any prophet,
Nor is there any among us who knows (T)how long.
10 How long, O God, will the adversary (U)reproach?
Will the enemy (V)spurn Your name forever?
11 Why (W)do You turn back Your hand, even Your right hand?
From within Your bosom, (X)destroy them!
12 Yet God is (Y)my King from of old,
Who works deeds of [g]salvation in the midst of the earth.
13 You (Z)divided the sea by Your strength;
You (AA)broke the heads of the (AB)sea monsters [h]in the waters.
14 You crushed the heads of [i](AC)Leviathan;
You gave him as food for the [j]creatures (AD)of the desert.
15 [k]You (AE)split open spring and river;
[l]You (AF)dried up ever-flowing rivers.
16 Yours is the day, Yours also is the night;
[m]You have (AG)established the [n]light and the sun.
17 [o]You have (AH)caused all the boundaries of the earth to stand firm;
[p]You have formed (AI)summer and winter.
18 Remember this, O Yahweh, that the enemy has (AJ)reproached,
And a (AK)wickedly foolish people has spurned Your name.
19 Do not deliver the soul of Your (AL)turtledove to the wild beast;
(AM)Do not forget the life of Your afflicted forever.
20 Look to the (AN)covenant;
For the (AO)dark places of the land are full of the haunts of violence.
21 Let not the (AP)oppressed return dishonored;
Let the (AQ)afflicted and needy praise Your name.
22 Arise, O God, and (AR)plead Your own cause;
Remember [q]how the (AS)wicked fool reproaches You all day long.
23 Do not forget the voice of Your (AT)adversaries,
The (AU)rumbling of those who rise against You which ascends continually.
