Psalms 74

Gen Z: Psalms 74

1Yo God, why you ghosting us forever? Your anger's straight up smoking against your flock, no cap.

2Don’t forget your squad, the ones you bought way back; that spot on Mount Zion where you chill.

3Step up and check out the wreckage; the enemy's been wildin' in your sanctuary, fr.

4Your enemies are roaring in the crowd; they’re flexing their flags like it’s a big deal.

5A dude was famous for swinging axes at the thick trees, that’s some serious rizz.

6But now they’re just wrecking your carvings with axes and hammers, savage.

7They threw fire in your sanctuary, totally dissing your name by trashing your place.

8They’re like, “Let’s take them out together”: they’ve burned all the God spots in the land.

9We can’t see our signs anymore; no prophet around to tell us how long this will last.

10Yo God, how long will the haters talk smack? Are they gonna blaspheme your name forever?

11Why you holding back your hand, even your strong one? Pull it out already.

12For real, God’s my King from way back, saving us right here on earth.

13You split the sea with your strength; you smashed the heads of dragons in the waters, lit.

14You broke Leviathan into pieces and fed him to the wilderness crew, that’s goated.

15You opened up the fountain and the flood: you dried up the mighty rivers, no cap.

16The day is yours, and the night too: you set up the light and the sun, periodt.

17You laid out all the borders of the earth: you made summer and winter, that’s facts.

18Remember this, that the enemy’s been talking trash, Lord, and the fools are dissing your name.

19Don’t let the soul of your turtledove get tossed to the wicked crowd: don’t forget your poor squad forever.

20Keep your covenant in mind: the dark spots of the earth are full of cruel vibes.

21Don’t let the oppressed go back feeling ashamed: let the poor and needy hype up your name.

22Rise up, God, and defend your cause: remember how these fools come for you daily.

23Don’t forget the voice of your enemies: the noise from those rising up against you just keeps getting louder.

KJV: Psalms 74

1O God, why hast thou cast us off for ever? why doth thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture?

2Remember thy congregation, which thou hast purchased of old; the rod of thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed; this mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt.

3Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual desolations; even all that the enemy hath done wickedly in the sanctuary.

4Thine enemies roar in the midst of thy congregations; they set up their ensigns for signs.

5A man was famous according as he had lifted up axes upon the thick trees.

6But now they break down the carved work thereof at once with axes and hammers.

7They have cast fire into thy sanctuary, they have defiled by casting down the dwelling place of thy name to the ground.

8They said in their hearts, Let us destroy them together: they have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land.

9We see not our signs: there is no more any prophet: neither is there among us any that knoweth how long.

10O God, how long shall the adversary reproach? shall the enemy blaspheme thy name for ever?

11Why withdrawest thou thy hand, even thy right hand? pluck it out of thy bosom.

12For God is my King of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth.

13Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength: thou brakest the heads of the dragons in the waters.

14Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces, and gavest him to be meat to the people inhabiting the wilderness.

15Thou didst cleave the fountain and the flood: thou driedst up mighty rivers.

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

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

18Remember this, that the enemy hath reproached, O Lord, and that the foolish people have blasphemed thy name.

19O deliver not the soul of thy turtledove unto the multitude of the wicked: forget not the congregation of thy poor for ever.

20Have respect unto the covenant: for the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of cruelty.

21O let not the oppressed return ashamed: let the poor and needy praise thy name.

22Arise, O God, plead thine own cause: remember how the foolish man reproacheth thee daily.

23Forget not the voice of thine enemies: the tumult of those that rise up against thee increaseth continually.
