Berean Standard Bible

“Why have You rejected us forever, O God? Why does Your anger smolder against the sheep of Your pasture?”

Psalms 74:1

Save as image

Study note

Psalms 74 is a lament of Asaph, most likely written after the destruction of Jerusalem and its temple by Babylon in 586 BC, though some tie it to an earlier disaster. The worshipers see the sanctuary in ruins and no prophet to explain it.
