Psalms 74:8-15 in English

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 it out 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.

⁹ For there is a cup in the hand of the Lord, full of unmingled wine; and he has turned it from side to side, but its dregs have not been wholly poured out; all the sinners of the earth shall drink them.

¹⁰ But I will exult for ever: I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

¹⁰ God, how long will our enemies make fun of you RHQ? Will they insult you MTY forever RHQ?

¹¹ Why do you refuse to help MTY, RHQ us? Why do you keep your hand inside your cloak instead of using it to destroy our enemies RHQ?
