Psalm 74:10–14

10 How long, O God, is the foe to scoff?

Is the enemy to revile your name forever?

11 Why do you hold back your hand, your right hand?

Take it from the fold of your garment and destroy them!

12 Yet God my King is from of old,

working salvation in the midst of the earth.

13 You divided the sea by your might;

you broke the heads of the sea monsters on the waters.

14 You crushed the heads of Leviathan;

you gave him as food for the creatures of the wilderness.

10 O God, how long shall the adversary reproach?

Shall the enemy blaspheme thy name for ever?

11 Why withdrawest thou thy hand, even thy right hand?

Pluck it out of thy bosom.

12 For 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 dragons in the waters.

14 Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces,

And gavest him to be meat to the people inhabiting the wilderness.

10 How long, O God, will you allow our enemies to insult you?

Will you let them dishonor your name forever?

11 Why do you hold back your strong right hand?

Unleash your powerful fist and destroy them.

12 You, O God, are my king from ages past,

bringing salvation to the earth.

13 You split the sea by your strength

and smashed the heads of the sea monsters.

14 You crushed the heads of Leviathan

and let the desert animals eat him.

10 O God, how long will the adversary reproach?

Will the enemy blaspheme Your name forever?

11 Why do You withdraw Your hand, even Your right hand?

Take it out of Your bosom and destroy them.

12 For God is my King from of old,

Working salvation in the midst of the earth.

13 You divided the sea by Your strength;

You broke the heads of the sea serpents in the waters.

14 You broke the heads of Leviathan in pieces,

And gave him as food to the people inhabiting the wilderness.

10 God, how much longer will the enemy make fun of you?

Will they insult you forever?

11 Why do you hold back your power?

Bring your power out in the open and destroy them!

12 God, you have been our king for a long time.

You bring salvation to the earth.

13 You split open the sea by your power

and broke the heads of the sea monster.

14 You smashed the heads of the monster Leviathan

and gave it to the desert creatures as food.

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.

10 How long, O God, shall the adversary reproach? Shall the enemy contemn thy name for ever? 11 Why withdrawest thou thy hand, and thy right hand? pluck it out of thy bosom: consume them.

12 But God is my king of old, accomplishing deliverances in the midst of the earth. 13 Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength; thou didst break the heads of the monsters on the waters: 14 Thou didst break in pieces the heads of leviathan, thou gavest him to be meat to those that people the desert.

10 How long, O God, will the enemy insult us? 

Will the enemy despise you forever? 

11 Why do you hold back your hand, especially your right hand? 

Take your hands out of your pockets. 

Destroy your enemies! 

12 And yet, from long ago God has been my king, 

the one who has been victorious throughout the earth. 

13 You stirred up the sea with your own strength. 

You smashed the heads of sea monsters in the water. 

14 You crushed the heads of Leviathan 

and gave them to the creatures of the desert for food. 

10 God, how long will the enemy mock?

Will the foe insult Your name forever?

11 Why do You hold back Your hand?

Stretch out Your right hand and destroy them!

12 God my King is from ancient times,

performing saving acts on the earth.

13 You divided the sea with Your strength;

You smashed the heads of the sea monsters in the waters;

14 You crushed the heads of Leviathan;

You fed him to the creatures of the desert.

10 How long, O God, is the foe to scoff?

Is the enemy to revile your name forever?

11 Why do you hold back your hand;

why do you keep your hand in your bosom?

12 Yet God my King is from of old,

working salvation in the earth.

13 You divided the sea by your might;

you broke the heads of the dragons in the waters.

14 You crushed the heads of Leviathan;

you gave him as food for the creatures of the wilderness.

10 How long, O God, will the adversary taunt?

Will the enemy treat your name with contempt forever?

11 Why do you draw back your hand, even your right hand?

Take it from your bosom; destroy them!

12 But God has been my king from long ago,

working salvation in the midst of the earth.

13 You split open the sea by your strength;

You broke the heads of the sea monsters in the waters.

14 You crushed the heads of Leviathan;

you gave him as food to the desert dwelling creatures.

10 God, how long will your enemies make fun of you?

Will they attack you with their words forever?

11 Why don’t you help us? Why do you hold back your powerful right hand?

Use your strong arms to destroy your enemies!

12 God, you have been my king for a long time.

The whole earth has seen you save us over and over again.

13 You parted the Red Sea by your power.

You broke the heads of that sea monster in Egypt.

14 You crushed the heads of the sea monster Leviathan.

You fed it to the creatures of the desert.

10 How long, O God, will the adversary revile,

And the enemy spurn Your name forever?

11 Why do You withdraw Your hand, even Your right hand?

From within Your bosom, destroy them!

12 Yet God is my king from of old,

Who works deeds of deliverance in the midst of the earth.

13 You divided the sea by Your strength;

You broke the heads of the sea monsters in the waters.

14 You crushed the heads of Leviathan;

You gave him as food for the creatures of the wilderness.
