| 74:1 | Maschil of Asaph. O God, why hast thou cast off for ever? doth thy anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture? | |
| 74:2 | Remember thy congregation, thou hast purchased of old: the rod of thy inheritance, thou hast redeemed; this mount Zion, in which thou hast dwelt. | |
| 74:3 | Lift up thy feet to the perpetual desolations; all the enemy hath done wickedly in the sanctuary. | |
| 74:4 | Thy enemies roar in the midst of thy congregations; they set up their ensigns signs. | |
| 74:5 | was famous according as he had lifted up axes upon the thick trees. | |
| 74:6 | But now they break down the carved work of it at once with axes and hammers. | |
| 74:7 | They have cast fire into thy sanctuary, they have defiled the dwelling-place of thy name to the ground. | |
| 74:8 | They said in their hearts, Let us destroy them together: they have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land. | |
| 74:9 | We see not our signs: no more any prophet: neither among us any that knoweth how long. | |
| 74:10 | O God, how long shall the adversary reproach? shall the enemy blaspheme thy name for ever? | |
| 74:11 | Why withdrawest thou thy hand, even thy right hand? pluck out of thy bosom. | |
| 74:12 | For God my King of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth. | |
| 74:13 | Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength: thou didst break the heads of the dragons in the waters. | |
| 74:14 | Thou didst break the head of leviathan in pieces, didst give him food to the people inhabiting the wilderness. | |
| 74:15 | Thou didst cleave the fountain and the flood: thou didst dry up mighty rivers. | |
| 74:16 | The day thine, the night also thine: thou hast prepared the light and the sun. | |
| 74:17 | Thou hast set all the borders of the earth: thou hast made summer and winter. | |
| 74:18 | Remember this, the enemy hath reproached, O LORD, and the foolish people have blasphemed thy name. | |
| 74:19 | O deliver not the soul of thy turtle dove to the multitude forget not the congregation of thy poor for ever. | |
| 74:20 | Have respect to the covenant: for the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of cruelty. | |
| 74:21 | O let not the oppressed return ashamed: let the poor and needy praise thy name. | |
| 74:22 | Arise, O God, plead thy own cause: remember how the foolish man reproacheth thee daily. | |
| 74:23 | Forget not the voice of thy enemies: the tumult of those that rise against thee increaseth continually. | |
