Psalm 74

A Contemplative Maskil of Asaph.

O God, why have You cast us off forever?
    Why does Your anger smoke against the sheep of Your pasture?
Remember Your congregation, which You have purchased of old,
    the rod of Your inheritance, which You have redeemed,
    this Mount Zion, where You have lived.
Move Your footsteps to the perpetual desolations,
    to all the harm the enemy has done in the sanctuary.

Psalm 74

A maskil[a] of Asaph.

O God, why have you rejected(A) us forever?(B)
    Why does your anger smolder against the sheep of your pasture?(C)
Remember the nation you purchased(D) long ago,(E)
    the people of your inheritance,(F) whom you redeemed(G)
    Mount Zion,(H) where you dwelt.(I)
Turn your steps toward these everlasting ruins,(J)
    all this destruction the enemy has brought on the sanctuary.
