Psalm 74:2

Prayer For Israel

¹ A Maskil of Asaph.
O God, why have You rejected us forever?
Why does Your anger smoke against the sheep of Your pasture?
² Remember Your congregation, which You have purchased of old,
Which You have redeemed to be the tribe of Your inheritance;
And this Mount Zion, where You have dwelt.
³ Turn Your footsteps toward the perpetual ruins;
The enemy has damaged everything within the sanctuary.
