Psalms 74:1-3

Psalms 74

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

A Maskil of Asaph.

1Why have You rejected us forever, O God? Why does Your anger smolder against the sheep of Your pasture?

2Remember Your congregation, which You purchased long ago and redeemed as the tribe of Your inheritance—Mount Zion, where You dwell.

3Turn Your steps to the everlasting ruins, to everything in the sanctuary the enemy has destroyed.
