Psalms 74:7-21

⁷They haue cast thy Sanctuarie into the fire, and rased it to the grounde, and haue defiled the dwelling place of thy Name.

⁸They saide in their hearts, Let vs destroy them altogether: they haue burnt all the Synagogues of God in the land.

⁹We see not our signes: there is not one Prophet more, nor any with vs that knoweth howe long.

¹⁰O God, howe long shall the aduersarie reproche thee? shall the enemie blaspheme thy Name for euer?

¹¹Why withdrawest thou thine hand, euen thy right hand? drawe it out of thy bosome, and consume them.

¹²Euen God is my King of olde, working saluation in the middes of the earth.

¹³Thou didest deuide the sea by thy power: thou brakest the heads of the dragons in the waters.

¹⁴Thou brakest the head of Liuiathan in pieces, and gauest him to be meate for the people in wildernesse.

¹⁵Thou brakest vp the fountaine and riuer: thou dryedst vp mightie riuers.

¹⁶The day is thine, and the night is thine: thou hast prepared the light and the sunne.

¹⁷Thou hast set all the borders of the earth: thou hast made summer and winter.

¹⁸Remember this, that the enemie hath reproched the Lord, and the foolish people hath blasphemed thy Name.

¹⁹Giue not the soule of thy turtle doue vnto the beast, and forget not the Congregation of thy poore for euer.

²⁰Consider thy couenant: for the darke places of the earth are full of the habitations of the cruell.

²¹Oh let not the oppressed returne ashamed, but let the poore and needie prayse thy Name.
