Psalms 74章 ESV | 微讀聖經

Arise, O God, Defend Your Cause

A Maskil74:1 Probably a musical or liturgical term of 74:0 See Ps. 50, titleAsaph.

1O God, why do you 74:1 See Ps. 44:9cast us off forever?

Why does your anger 74:1 Deut. 29:20; [Ps. 18:8] smoke against 74:1 Ps. 79:13; 100:3; Jer. 23:1; Ezek. 34:31; [Ps. 95:7]the sheep of your pasture?

274:2 ver. 18, 22Remember your congregation, which you have 74:2 Ex. 15:16; Deut. 32:6; [Ps. 78:54] purchased of old,

which you have 74:2 Ps. 77:15; Isa. 63:9redeemed to be 74:2 Isa. 63:17; Jer. 10:16; 51:19the tribe of your heritage!

Remember Mount Zion, 74:2 Ps. 9:11where you have dwelt.

3Direct your steps to 74:3 [Isa. 61:4]the perpetual ruins;

the enemy has destroyed everything in the sanctuary!

4Your foes have 74:4 Lam. 2:6, 7roared in the midst of your meeting place;

74:4 [Matt. 24:15] they set up their 74:4 Num. 2:2own signs for 74:4 [ver. 9]signs.

5They were like those who swing 74:5 [Jer. 46:22]axes

in a forest of trees.74:5 The meaning of the Hebrew is uncertain

6And all its 74:6 [1 Kgs. 6:18, 29, 32, 35]carved wood

they broke down with hatchets and hammers.

7They 74:7 2 Kgs. 25:9; [Ps. 79:1] set your sanctuary on fire;

they 74:7 Ps. 89:39; [Lam. 2:2] profaned 74:7 [Ps. 26:8]the dwelling place of your name,

bringing it down to the ground.

8They 74:8 Ps. 83:4said to themselves, “We will utterly subdue them”;

they burned all the meeting places of God in the land.

9We do not see our 74:9 [ver. 4] signs;

74:9 [1 Sam. 3:1; Lam. 2:9; Ezek. 7:26; Amos 8:11]there is no longer any prophet,

and there is none among us who knows how long.

10How long, O God, 74:10 ver. 18, 22; Ps. 79:12; 89:51is the foe to scoff?

Is the enemy to revile your name forever?

11Why 74:11 Lam. 2:3do you hold back your hand, your right hand?

Take it from the fold of your garment74:11 Hebrew from your bosom and destroy them!

12Yet 74:12 Ps. 44:4God my King is from of old,

working salvation in the midst of the earth.

13You 74:13 Ex. 14:21divided the sea by your might;

you 74:13 Isa. 51:9broke the heads of 74:13 Isa. 27:1the sea monsters74:13 Or the great sea creatures on the waters.

14You crushed the heads of 74:14 See Job 41:1Leviathan;

you gave him as food for the creatures of the wilderness.

15You 74:15 Ps. 78:15; 105:41; Ex. 17:5, 6; Num. 20:11; Isa. 48:21split open springs and brooks;

you 74:15 Josh. 2:10; 4:23; Isa. 51:10; [Ps. 66:6]; See Ex. 14:21-25; Josh. 3:13-17dried up ever-flowing streams.

16Yours is the day, yours also the night;

you have established 74:16 Ps. 104:19; See Gen. 1:14-16the heavenly lights and the sun.

17You have 74:17 Deut. 32:8; [Acts 17:26] fixed all the boundaries of the earth;

you have made 74:17 Gen. 8:22summer and winter.

1874:18 ver. 2, 22; Ps. 89:50; Rev. 16:19; 18:5Remember this, O Lord, how the enemy scoffs,

and 74:18 Ps. 39:8; Deut. 32:6a foolish people reviles your name.

19Do not deliver the soul of your 74:19 Song 2:14dove to the wild beasts;

74:19 [Ps. 68:10]do not forget the life of your poor forever.

20Have regard for 74:20 Ps. 106:45; Gen. 17:7, 8; Lev. 26:44, 45; Jer. 33:21the covenant,

for 74:20 [Ps. 10:8]the dark places of the land are full of the habitations of violence.

21Let not 74:21 Ps. 9:9; 10:18the downtrodden 74:21 [Ps. 6:10] turn back in shame;

let 74:21 Ps. 86:1the poor and needy praise your name.

22Arise, O God, 74:22 [1 Sam. 24:15] defend your cause;

74:22 ver. 2, 18remember how the foolish scoff at you all the day!

23Do not forget the clamor of your foes,

74:23 See Ps. 65:7the uproar of those who rise against you, which goes up continually!
