Ps 74:1-23.
영문 원문
Ps 74:1-23.
If the historical allusions of
Ps 74:6-8,
&c., be referred, as is probable, to the period of the captivity, the author was probably a descendant and namesake of Asaph, David's contemporary and singer (compare
2Ch 35:15; Ezr 2:41).
He complains of God's desertion of His Church, and appeals for aid, encouraging himself by recounting some of God's mighty deeds, and urges his prayer on the ground of God's covenant relation to His people, and the wickedness of His and their common enemy.
1. cast . . . off--with abhorrence (compare
Ps 43:2; 44:9).
There is no disavowal of guilt implied. The figure of fire to denote God's anger is often used; and here, and in
De 29:20,
by the word "smoke," suggests its continuance.
sheep . . . pasture--(Compare
Ps 80:1; 95:7).

5, 6. 雖然此處有些詞語與分句十分隱晦，大意卻是：那些劫掠者如同伐木者一般以暴力毀壞了聖殿的美。

6. 雕刻的——
（1Ki 6:29）。
其中的——即聖殿的，在作者心中已有所指，只是直到
Ps 74:7
才明說，那裏提到聖殿被火全然燒毀
（2Ki 25:9； Isa 64:11）。
영문 원문
6. carved work--
(1Ki 6:29).

會堂——按字面作「聚會」，指聚會的場所，究竟是先知學校
（2Ki 4:23），
還是通常意義上的「會堂」，大有疑問。
영문 원문
8. together--at once, all alike.

不再有先知——
（Isa 3:2； Jer 40:1; 43:6）。
要到幾時——這景況要持續多久。耶利米的預言
（Jer 25:11）
即使已經發表，可能也未被普遍認識或明白。對大多數百姓而言，在被擄期間，耶利米、以西結與但以理偶發而局部性的先知事奉，並不構成「不再有先知」一語的例外。

(Jer 25:11),
if published, may not have been generally known or understood. To the bulk of the people, during the captivity, the occasional and local prophetical services of Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and Daniel would not make an exception to the clause, "there is no more any prophet."

Ps 74:6-8
等處的歷史暗示，正如很可能的那樣，是指被擄時期，那麼作者可能是亞薩——大衛同時代、負責歌唱之人（參
2Ch 35:15; Ezr 2:41）——的後裔兼同名者。
他哀嘆神離棄了祂的教會，並求神救助，藉著數說神的一些大能作為來激勵自己，又根據神與其子民的聖約關係、以及神與他們共同仇敵的邪惡，來敦促他的禱告。

Ps 80:1; 95:7）。
