Chapter 74
1מַשְׂכִּיל לְאָסָף לָמָה אֱלֹהִים זָנַחְתָּ לָנֶצַח יֶעְשַׁן אַפְּךָ בְּצֹאן מַרְעִיתֶֽךָA maskil of Asaph. Why, O God, do You forever reject us, do You fume in anger at the flock that You tend?Maskil leasaf lamah elohim zanachta lanetzach yeshan apcha betzon maritecha
2זְכֹר עֲדָתְךָ קָנִיתָ קֶּדֶם גָּאַלְתָּ שֵׁבֶט נַחֲלָתֶךָ הַר־צִיּוֹן זֶה שָׁכַנְתָּ בּֽוֹRemember the community You made Yours long ago, Your very own tribe that You redeemed, Mount Zion, where You dwell.Zechor adatcha kanita kedem gaalta shevet nachalatecha har-tzion zeh shachanta bo
3הָרִימָה פְעָמֶיךָ לְמַשֻּׁאוֹת נֶצַח כׇּל־הֵרַע אוֹיֵב בַּקֹּֽדֶשׁBestir Yourself because of the perpetual tumult, all the outrages of the enemy in the sanctuary.Harimah feameycha lemashuot netzach kol-hera oyev bakodesh
4שָׁאֲגוּ צֹרְרֶיךָ בְּקֶרֶב מוֹעֲדֶךָ שָׂמוּ אוֹתֹתָם אֹתֽוֹתYour foes roar inside Your meeting-place; they take their signs for true signs.Shaagu tzorreycha bekerev moadecha samu ototam otot
5יִוָּדַע כְּמֵבִיא לְמָעְלָה בִּסְבׇךְ־עֵץ קַרְדֻּמּֽוֹתIt is like those who wield axes against a gnarled tree;Yivada kemevi lemalah bisvoch-etz kardumot
6(ועת) [וְעַתָּה] פִּתּוּחֶיהָ יָּחַד בְּכַשִּׁיל וְכֵילַפּוֹת יַהֲלֹמֽוּןwith hatchet and pike they hacked away at its carved work.(vt) [veatah] pituchey yachad bechashil vecheylapot yahalomun
7שִׁלְחוּ בָאֵשׁ מִקְדָּשֶׁךָ לָאָרֶץ חִלְּלוּ מִֽשְׁכַּן־שְׁמֶֽךָThey made Your sanctuary go up in flames; they brought low in dishonor the dwelling-place of Your presence.Shilchu vaesh mikdashecha laaretz chillu mishkan-shemecha
8אָמְרוּ בְלִבָּם נִינָם יָחַד שָׂרְפוּ כׇל־מוֹעֲדֵי־אֵל בָּאָֽרֶץThey resolved, “Let us destroy them altogether!” They burned all God’s tabernacles in the land.Amru velibam ninam yachad sarfu chol-moadey-el baaretz
9אֽוֹתֹתֵינוּ לֹא־רָאִינוּ אֵֽין־עוֹד נָבִיא וְלֹֽא־אִתָּנוּ יֹדֵעַ עַד־מָֽהNo signs appear for us; there is no longer any prophet; no one among us knows for how long.Ototeynu lo-rainu eyn-od navi velo-itanu yodea ad-mah
10עַד־מָתַי אֱלֹהִים יְחָרֶף צָר יְנָאֵץ אוֹיֵב שִׁמְךָ לָנֶֽצַחTill when, O God, will the foe blaspheme, will the enemy forever revile Your name?Ad-matay elohim yecharef tzar yenaetz oyev shimcha lanetzach
11לָמָּה תָשִׁיב יָדְךָ וִימִינֶךָ מִקֶּרֶב (חוקך) [חֵיקְךָ] כַלֵּֽהWhy do You hold back Your hand, Your right hand? Draw it out of Your bosom!Lamah tashiv yadcha viminecha mikerev (chvkch) [cheykcha] chaleh
12וֵאלֹהִים מַלְכִּי מִקֶּדֶם פֹּעֵל יְשׁוּעוֹת בְּקֶרֶב הָאָֽרֶץO God, my Sovereign from of old, who brings deliverance throughout the land;Velohim malki mikedem poel yeshuot bekerev haaretz
13אַתָּה פוֹרַרְתָּ בְעׇזְּךָ יָם שִׁבַּרְתָּ רָאשֵׁי תַנִּינִים עַל־הַמָּֽיִםit was You who drove back the sea with Your might, who smashed the heads of the monsters in the waters;Atah forarta veozcha yam shibarta rashey taninim al-hamayim
14אַתָּה רִצַּצְתָּ רָאשֵׁי לִוְיָתָן תִּתְּנֶנּוּ מַאֲכָל לְעָם לְצִיִּֽיםit was You who crushed the heads of Leviathan, who left it as food for the denizens of the desert;Atah ritzatzta rashey livyatan titnenu maachal leam letziyim
15אַתָּה בָקַעְתָּ מַעְיָן וָנָחַל אַתָּה הוֹבַשְׁתָּ נַהֲרוֹת אֵיתָֽןit was You who released springs and torrents, who made mighty rivers run dry;Atah vakata mayan vanachal atah hovashta naharot eytan
16לְךָ יוֹם אַף־לְךָ לָיְלָה אַתָּה הֲכִינוֹתָ מָאוֹר וָשָֽׁמֶשׁthe day is Yours, the night also; it was You who set in place the orb of the sun;Lecha yom af-lecha laylah atah hachinota maor vashamesh
17אַתָּה הִצַּבְתָּ כׇּל־גְּבוּלוֹת אָרֶץ קַיִץ וָחֹרֶף אַתָּה יְצַרְתָּֽםYou fixed all the boundaries of the earth; summer and winter—You made them.Atah hitzavta kol-gevulot aretz kayitz vachoref atah yetzartam
18זְכׇר־זֹאת אוֹיֵב חֵרֵף יְהֹוָה וְעַם נָבָל נִאֲצוּ שְׁמֶֽךָBe mindful of how the enemy blasphemes GOD, how base people revile Your name.Zechor-zot oyev cheref Adonai veam naval niatzu shemecha
19אַל־תִּתֵּן לְחַיַּת נֶפֶשׁ תּוֹרֶךָ חַיַּת עֲנִיֶּיךָ אַל־תִּשְׁכַּח לָנֶֽצַחDo not deliver Your dove to the wild beast; do not ignore forever the band of Your lowly ones.Al-titen lechayat nefesh torecha chayat aniyeycha al-tishkach lanetzach
20הַבֵּט לַבְּרִית כִּי מָלְאוּ מַחֲשַׁכֵּי־אֶרֶץ נְאוֹת חָמָֽסLook to the covenant! For the dark places of the land are full of the haunts of lawlessness.Habet labrit ki malu machashakey-eretz neot chamas
21אַל־יָשֹׁב דַּךְ נִכְלָם עָנִי וְאֶבְיוֹן יְֽהַלְלוּ שְׁמֶֽךָLet not the downtrodden turn away disappointed; let the poor and needy praise Your name.Al-yashov dach nichlam ani veevyon yehallu shemecha
22קוּמָה אֱלֹהִים רִיבָה רִיבֶךָ זְכֹר חֶרְפָּתְךָ מִנִּי־נָבָל כׇּל־הַיּֽוֹםRise, O God, champion Your cause; be mindful that You are blasphemed by scoundrels all day long.Kumah elohim rivah rivecha zechor cherpatcha mini-naval kol-hayom
23אַל־תִּשְׁכַּח קוֹל צֹרְרֶיךָ שְׁאוֹן קָמֶיךָ עֹלֶה תָמִֽידDo not ignore the shouts of Your foes, the din of Your adversaries that ascends all the time.Al-tishkach kol tzorreycha sheon kameycha oleh tamid
