span data-lang="jpn" data-trans="kyb" data-ref="psa.74.1" class="versetxt"> 1 神よ、なぜ、われらをとこしえに捨てられるのですか。なぜ、あなたの牧の羊に怒りを燃やされるのですか。2 昔あなたが手に入れられたあなたの公会、すなわち、あなたの嗣業の部族となすためにあがなわれたものを思い出してください。あなたが住まわれたシオンの山を思い出してください。3 とこしえの滅びの跡に、あなたの足を向けてください。敵は聖所で、すべての物を破壊しました。4 あなたのあだは聖所の中でほえさけび、彼らのしるしを立てて、しるしとしました。5 彼らは上の入口では、おのをもって木の格子垣を切り倒しました。6 また彼らは手おのと鎚とをもって聖所の彫り物をことごとく打ち落しました。7 彼らはあなたの聖所に火をかけ、み名のすみかをけがして、地に倒しました。8 彼らは心のうちに言いました、「われらはことごとくこれを滅ぼそう」と。彼らは国のうちの神の会堂をことごとく焼きました。9 われらは自分たちのしるしを見ません。預言者も今はいません。そしていつまで続くのか、われらのうちには、知る者がありません。10 神よ、あだはいつまであざけるでしょうか。敵はとこしえにあなたの名をののしるでしょうか。11 なぜあなたは手を引かれるのですか。なぜあなたは右の手をふところに入れておかれるのですか。12 神はいにしえからわたしの王であって、救を世の中に行われた。13 あなたはみ力をもって海をわかち、水の上の龍の頭を砕かれた。14 あなたはレビヤタンの頭をくだき、これを野の獣に与えてえじきとされた。15 あなたは泉と流れとを開き、絶えず流れるもろもろの川をからされた。16 昼はあなたのもの、夜もまたあなたのもの。あなたは光と太陽とを設けられた。17 あなたは地のもろもろの境を定め、夏と冬とを造られた。18 主よ、敵はあなたをあざけり、愚かな民はあなたのみ名をののしります。この事を思い出してください。19 どうかあなたのはとの魂を野の獣にわたさないでください。貧しい者のいのちをとこしえに忘れないでください。20 あなたの契約をかえりみてください。地の暗い所は暴力のすまいで満ちています。21 しえたげられる者を恥じさせないでください。貧しい者と乏しい者とにみ名をほめたたえさせてください。22 神よ、起きてあなたの訴えをあげつらい、愚かな者のひねもすあなたをあざけるのをみこころにとめてください。23 あなたのあだの叫びを忘れないでください。あなたの敵の絶えずあげる騒ぎを忘れないでください。

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Thine enemies roar in the midst of thy congregations,.... Particular churches, gathered out of the world in Gospel order, and which meet together at particular times and places; in the midst of these, and against them their enemies, and who are the Lord's enemies, roar like lions, as Satan, and bloody persecutors, and particularly antichrist, whose mouth is the mouth of a lion, which is opened in blasphemy against God and his people, Revelation 13:2,

they set up their ensigns for signs; or "signs", "signs", false ones for true ones; meaning either military signs, as the Roman eagle, set as signs and trophies of victory; or idolatrous statues and images, such an one as Antiochus brought into the temple; or false miracles and antichristian marks, in the room of true miracles, and the true mark of Christ's followers; see 2 Thessalonians 2:9. The Jewish writers generally interpret it of the divinations and superstitions rites used by the king of Babylon, when he was coming up against Jerusalem,

Ezekiel 21:21.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Thine enemies roar - This refers to the shout and tumult of war. They raised up the war-cry even in the very place where the congregations had been assembled; where God had been worshipped. The word rendered “roar” properly has reference to wild beasts; and the meaning is, that their war-cry resembled the howling of beasts of prey.

In the midst of thy congregations - literally, “in the midst of thine assembly.” This is a different word from that which is rendered “congregation” in Psalms 74:2. This word - מועד mô‛êd - means a meeting together by mutual appointment, and is often applied to the meeting of God with his people at the tabernacle, which was therefore called “the tent of the congregation,” or, more properly, “the tent of meeting,” as the place where God met with his people, Exodus 29:10, Exodus 29:44; Exodus 33:7; Leviticus 3:8, Leviticus 3:13; Leviticus 10:7, Leviticus 10:9; “et saepe.” The meaning here is, that they roared like wild beasts in the very place which God had appointed as the place where he would meet with his people.

They set up their ensigns for signs - That is, they set up “their” banners or standards, as “the” standards of the place; as that which indicated sovereignty over the place. They proclaimed thus that it was a conquered place, and they set up their own standards as denoting their title to it, or as declaring that they ruled there. It was no longer a place sacred to God; it was publicly seen to belong to a foreign power.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 74:4. Thine enemies roar — Thy people, who were formerly a distinct and separate people, and who would not even touch a Gentile, are now obliged to mingle with the most profane. Their boisterous mirth, their cruel mockings, their insulting commands, are heard every where in all our assemblies.

They set up their ensigns for signs. — שמו אותתם אתות samu othotham othoth, they set up their standards in the place of ours. All the ensigns and trophies were those of our enemies; our own were no longer to be seen.

The fifth, sixth, and seventh verses give a correct historical account of the ravages committed by the Babylonians, as we may see from 2 Kings 25:4; 2 Kings 25:7-9, and Jeremiah 52:7; Jeremiah 52:18; Jeremiah 52:19: "And the city was broken up, and all the men fled by night by the way of the gate. They took Zedekiah, and slew his sons before his eyes; and put out his eyes, and bound him with fetters of brass, and carried him to Babylon. And on the second day of the fifth month of the nineteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuzaradan, the captain of the guard, came unto Jerusalem; and he burnt the house of the Lord, and the king's house, and every great man's house; and all the houses of Jerusalem burnt he with fire. And they broke down the walls of Jerusalem round about. And the pillars of brass, and the bases, and the brazen sea, they broke in pieces, and carried the brass to Babylon. And the pots, shovels, snuffers and spoons, and the fire pans and bowls, and such things as were of gold and silver, they took away." Thus they broke down, and carried away, and destroyed this beautiful house; and in the true barbarian spirit, neither sanctity, beauty, symmetry, nor elegance of workmanship, was any thing in their eyes. What hammers and axes could ruin, was ruined; Jerusalem was totally destroyed, and its walls laid level with the ground. Well might the psalmist sigh over such a desolation.
