Psalms 74
- 1 O God, why hast thou cast us off for ever? Why doth thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture?
- 2 Remember thy congregation, which thou hast gotten of old, Which thou hast redeemed to be the tribe of thine inheritance; Andmount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt.
- 3 Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual ruins, All the evil that the enemy hath done in the sanctuary.
- 4 Thine adversaries have roared in the midst of thine assembly; They have set up their ensigns for signs.
- 5 They seemed as men that lifted up Axes upon a thicket of trees.
- 6 And now all the carved work thereof They break down with hatchet and hammers.
- 7 They have set thy sanctuary on fire; They have profaned the dwelling-place of thy name by casting it to the ground.
- 8 They said in their heart, Let us make havoc of them altogether: They have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land.
- 9 We see not our signs: There is no more any prophet; Neither is there among us any that knoweth how long.
- 10 How long, O God, shall the adversary reproach? Shall the enemy blaspheme thy name for ever?
- 11 Why drawest thou back thy hand, even thy right hand? Pluck itout of thy bosom and consume them.
- 12 Yet God is my King of old, Working salvation in the midst of the earth.
- 13 Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength: Thou brakest the heads of the sea-monsters in the waters.
- 14 Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces; Thou gavest him to be food to the people inhabiting the wilderness.
- 15 Thou didst cleave fountain and flood: Thou driedst up mighty rivers.
- 16 The day is thine, the night also is thine: Thou hast prepared the light and the sun.
- 17 Thou hast set all the borders of the earth: Thou hast made summer and winter.
- 18 Remember this, that the enemy hath reproached, O Jehovah, And that a foolish people hath blasphemed thy name.
- 19 Oh deliver not the soul of thy turtle-dove unto the wild beast: Forget not the life of thy poor for ever.
- 20 Have respect unto the covenant; For the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of violence.
- 21 Oh let not the oppressed return ashamed: Let the poor and needy praise thy name.
- 22 Arise, O God, plead thine own cause: Remember how the foolish man reproacheth thee all the day.
- 23 Forget not the voice of thine adversaries: The tumult of those that rise up against thee ascendeth continually.

American Standard Version (asv - 2)
2021-02-18English (en)
The American Standard Version (ASV) of the Holy Bible is in the Public Domain. Please feel free to copy it, give it away, memorize it, publish it, sell it, or whatever God leads you to do with it.
The American Standard Version of 1901 is an Americanization of the English Revised Bible, which is an update of the KJV to less archaic spelling and greater accuracy of translation. It has been called "The Rock of Biblical Honesty." It is the product of the work of over 50 Evangelical Christian scholars.
While the ASV retains many archaic word forms, it is still more understandable to the modern reader than the KJV in many passages. The ASV also forms the basis for several modern English translations, including the World English Bible (http://www.eBible.org/bible/WEB), which is also in the Public Domain. The ASV uses "Jehovah" for Godߴs proper name. While the current consensus is that this Holy Name was more likely pronounced "Yahweh," it is refreshing to see this rendition instead of the overloading of the word "Lord" that the KJV, NASB, and many others do.
Pronouns referring to God are not capitalized in the ASV, as they are not in the NIV and some others, breaking the tradition of the KJV. Since Hebrew has no such thing as tense, and the oldest Greek manuscripts are all upper case, anyway, this tradition was based only on English usage around 1600, anyway. Not capitalizing these pronouns solves some translational problems, such as the coronation psalms, which refer equally well to an earthly king and to God.- Encoding: UTF-8
