Why does it have strange spelling?
CHAP. LXXIV.
1 The Prophet complaineth of the desolation of the Sanctuarie. 10 Hee moueth God to helpe in consideration of his power. 18 Of his reprochfull enemies, of his children, and of his Couenant.
2 Remember thy Congregation which thou hast purchased of olde: the rod of thine inheritance which thou hast redeemed, this mount Sion, wherein thou hast dwelt.2
4 Thine enemies roare in the midst of thy congregations: they set vp their ensignes for signes.
5 A man was famous according as he had lifted vp axes vpon the thicke trees.
6 But now they breake downe the carued worke thereof at once, with axes and hammers.
7 They haue cast fire into thy Sanctuary, they haue defiled by casting downe, the dwelling place of thy Nawe to the ground.7
8 They said in their hearts, Let vs destroy them together: they haue burnt vp all the Synagogues of God in the land.8
10 O God, how long shall the aduersarie reproach? shall the enemie blaspheme thy Name for euer?
11 Why withdrawest thou thy hand, euen thy right hand? plucke it out of thy bosome.
12 For God is my King of old working saluation in the midst of the earth.
13 Thou didst diuide the sea by thy strength: thou brakest the heads of the dragons in the waters.13
15 Thou didst cleaue the fountaine and the flood: thou driedst vp mightie riuers.15
16 The day is thine, the night also is thine: thou hast prepared the light and the sunne.
17 Thou hast set all the borders of the earth: Thou hast made Summer and Winter.17
21 O let not the oppressed returne ashamed: let the poore and needie praise thy name.
22 Arise, O God, plead thine owne cause: remember how the foolish man reprocheth thee daily.
23 Forget not the voyce of thine enemies: the tumult of those that rise vp against thee, increaseth continually.23
