Psalms Chapter 74 (KJV)
undefined
O God, why hast thou cast us off for ever? why doth thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture?
undefined
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.
undefined
Thine enemies roar in the midst of thy congregations; they set up their ensigns for signs.
undefined
A man was famous according as he had lifted up axes upon the thick trees.

But now they break down the carved work thereof at once with axes and hammers.
undefined
They have cast fire into thy sanctuary, they have defiled by casting down the dwelling place of thy name to the ground.

They said in their hearts, Let us destroy them together: they have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land.
undefined
We see not our signs: there is no more any prophet: neither is there among us any that knoweth how long.

O God, how long shall the adversary reproach? shall the enemy blaspheme thy name for ever?
undefined
Why withdrawest thou thy hand, even thy right hand? pluck it out of thy bosom.

undefined
The day is thine, the night also is thine: thou hast prepared the light and the sun.

Thou hast set all the borders of the earth: thou hast made summer and winter.
undefined
Remember this, that the enemy hath reproached, O LORD, and that the foolish people have blasphemed thy name.
undefined
O deliver not the soul of thy turtledove unto the multitude of the wicked: forget not the congregation of thy poor for ever.
undefined
Have respect unto the covenant: for the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of cruelty.
undefined
O let not the oppressed return ashamed: let the poor and needy praise thy name.
undefined
Arise, O God, plead thine own cause: remember how the foolish man reproacheth thee daily.
