74 (1)	Psalm 74 Version 1 (from v 10)	CM
	HOW long, eternal God, how long    Shall human pride blaspheme? How long shall saints subdue their song     And bear reproach and shame?
2	How long shall we who love Thee hear     Thy holy name profaned? How long will power divine forbear     And Thou withhold Thy hand?
3	Such great deliv’rance hast Thou shown     In ages long before; And still no other Lord we own,     No other God adore.
4	Is not the world of nature Thine—     The darkness and the day? Didst Thou not bid the morning shine,     And mark the sun its way?
5	And shall the sons of earth and dust     That sacred power blaspheme? Will not Thy hand that formed them first     Avenge Thine injured name?
6	Our foes would triumph in our blood,     And make our hope their jest: Plead Thine own cause, Almighty Lord,     And make Thy children blest.
	Isaac Watts, 1674-1748
