74:1  God, why have you forgotten me forever and have hardened your wrath against the sheep of your pasture?
74:2  Remember your congregation which you have possessed from the first, and you have saved the tribe of your inheritance, this Mount Zion in which you have dwelt.
74:3  Lift your Servants above those who are taken by your might - everyone who oppresses is the enemy of your Holiness.
74:4  Your enemies are boisterous within your assembly day; they have made their ensigns the signs.
74:5  And you know as The Exalted One above.
74:6  They hewed down the doors together with axes, like a forest of trees with axes and with hammers.
74:7  They took and burned your holy place with fire and they defiled the Tabernacle of your Name in the land.
74:8  They said in her heart, “We will destroy them together and we will destroy all the feast days of God from the land.”
74:9  They have not seen their signs; there is no more a Prophet, neither is there a wise man with us.
74:10  How long, oh God, does the enemy reproach and rage against your Name - forever?
74:11  Why have you turned your hand and your right hand from within your assembly?
74:12  Our God is King who has performed salvation in the midst of the Earth.
74:13  You have separated the sea in your might and you have broken the heads of the dragons in the waters.
74:14  You broke the heads of Leviathan and you have given food to the mighty people.
74:15  You shook the springs in the valleys; you dried up mighty rivers.
74:16  The day is yours and yours is the night; you have prepared the light and the sun.
74:17  You set all the boundaries of the Earth; summer and winter, you have created them.
74:18  Lord Jehovah has remembered the reproach of the enemy; a foolish people angered your Name.
74:19  You will not give the soul that confesses you to destruction and you will never forget the souls of your poor.
74:20  Look, Lord Jehovah, at your covenant, because the dwellings of the Earth are filled with darkness and evil.
74:21  Let not the poor remain ashamed; let the afflicted and the poor praise your Name.
74:22  Rise up, oh God, and judge your judgment and remember your reproach from the fools every day.
74:23  Do not forget the voice of your enemies and the tumult which is always rising up of those who stand against you.
