Psalm 74:9-11
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
9 [a]Even so we have seen no signs for us,
there is no prophet any more,(A)
no one among us who knows for how long.
10 How long, O God, will the enemy jeer?(B)
Will the enemy revile your name forever?
11 Why draw back your hand,
why hold back your right hand within your bosom?[b]
Footnotes
- 74:9 Even so we have seen no signs…: ancients often asked prophets to say for how long a divine punishment was to last, cf. 2 Sm 24:13. Here no prophet has arisen to indicate the duration.
- 74:11 Why hold back…within your bosom: i.e., idle beneath your cloak.
Psalm 74:9-11
New International Version
9 We are given no signs from God;(A)
no prophets(B) are left,
and none of us knows how long this will be.
10 How long(C) will the enemy mock(D) you, God?
Will the foe revile(E) your name forever?
11 Why do you hold back your hand, your right hand?(F)
Take it from the folds of your garment(G) and destroy them!
