A Nation in Trouble Prays

A ·maskil [skillful psalm; meditation] of Asaph [C a Levitical musician, a descendant of Gershon, at the time of David; 1 Chr. 6:39; 15:17; 2 Chr. 5:12].

74 God, why have you rejected us ·for so long [forever]?
    Why ·are you angry with us, [L does your anger smoke against] the sheep of your pasture [100:3]?
Remember the ·people [assembly; congregation] you ·bought [acquired] long ago.
    You ·saved [redeemed] us, and we are ·your very own [L the tribe of your inheritance].
    After all, you live on Mount Zion.
