Psalm 74:1-2
EasyEnglish Bible

This is a special song that Asaph wrote.

A prayer for our nation[a]

74 God, have you turned against us for ever?
    Why are you so angry with us?
We belong to you, so please take care of us,
    like a shepherd takes care of his sheep.
2 Remember that we are your people.
Long ago you chose us for yourself.
You rescued us from being slaves,
    so that we could be your special nation of people.[b]
So please think about us,
    as well as your home on Mount Zion.
