Context — The Lament of Asaphgenerated

8They said in their hearts, “We will crush them completely.” They burned down every place where God met us in the land.
9There are no signs for us to see. There is no longer any prophet. And none of us knows how long this will last.
10How long, O God, will the enemy taunt You? Will the foe revile Your name forever?
11Why do You withdraw Your strong right hand? Stretch it out to destroy them!

Psalm 74:9 reflects a moment of despair for the people of Israel, where they feel abandoned by God due to the absence of miraculous signs and prophetic voices. This verse captures their sense of loss and uncertainty about the future, as they struggle to understand God's silence amidst their suffering. It connects to the broader themes in the psalm, where the psalmist seeks divine intervention and laments the destruction of sacred spaces.

The Key Word אֽוֹתֹתֵ֗ינוּ, 'o.to.Tei.nugenerated

The word אוֹת (owth) means 'sign' and encompasses a range of meanings including a token, miracle, or omen. In this context, it refers to miraculous signs or wonders that indicate God's presence and power. The parsing indicates that it is a feminine plural noun in construct form, suggesting a collective sense of signs that the community is longing for.

The absence of these signs is significant; it denotes a lack of divine communication and guidance, which is crucial for the people’s faith and understanding of their circumstances. The word's usage throughout the Bible often emphasizes God's active involvement in the world, making their absence felt even more acutely.


How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated

This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against.


Sentence Structuregenerated

The finite verb יֹדֵ֥עַ governs the final clause, indicating the action of knowing, while the preceding clauses describe the absence of signs and prophets. The structure shows a clear progression from the lack of divine signs to the uncertainty about the future.

The Hebrew word order places emphasis on the negation of signs and the existence of a prophet, highlighting the despair felt by the speaker. The use of multiple clauses conveys a cumulative sense of loss and longing for divine intervention.


Septuagint Backgroundgenerated

The Septuagint translates אוֹתֹתֵ֗ינוּ as ἡμῶν, which indicates a shift from a focus on miraculous signs to a more general reference to their state of being. This choice reflects a broader interpretation of their situation rather than a direct translation of the specific term for signs.

This translation choice suggests a widening of meaning, emphasizing the collective experience of the people rather than specific divine signs, which may have been a point of theological reflection for the Greek-speaking audience.

We have few or no teachers left to us. Or, 2. Any extraordinary prophet, who can foretell things to come, as the next words explain it.

(9) We see not our signs . . .—It is natural to take this statement in direct contrast to what Psalms 74:4 (see Note) says of the heathen signs. While these abominations—rallying points of savage profanity—were visibly set up, the tokens of the invisible God’s presence, His wonders wrought for Israel, are no more seen. There is no more any prophet.—This was the constant lament of the Maccabæan period (1Ma 4:46; 1Ma 9:27; 1Ma 14:41), and suits no earlier time—at least none into which the rest of the psalm would fit. During the exile period Jeremiah and Ezekiel were prophesying, and the complaint took quite a different form then and probably for some time afterwards (Lamentations 2:9; Ezekiel…

Verse 9. We see not our signs] "They have taken away all our trophies, and have left us no memorial that God has been among us.

But we may say that they were not totally destitute even of these. The preservation of Daniel in the lion's den, and of the three Hebrews in the fiery furnace; the metamorphosis of Nebuchadnezzar; the handwriting that appeared to Belshazzar; were all so many prodigies and evidences that God had not left them without proofs of his being and his regard.

9. our signs] The outward and visible symbols of our religion, such as sabbath and festival, which God “had caused to be forgotten in Zion” (Lamentations 2:6). The sabbath is spoken of as a sign in Exodus 31:13; Exodus 31:17; Ezekiel 20:12; Ezekiel 20:20. The words would of course be specially appropriate to the time at which Antiochus attempted to suppress all the distinctive ordinances of the Jewish religion (1Ma 1:45-46; 1Ma 1:60-61). Note the contrast with the ‘signs’ of hostile domination, Psalms 74:4. there is no more any prophet] A characteristic of the Maccabaean age (1Ma 4:46; 1Ma 9:27; 1Ma 14:41): but the complaints of the exile are not dissimilar (Lamentations 2:9; Ezekiel 7:26)…

stil: "To be still" is "to keep silence" (Ps 4:4, etc.) and so "to be quiet" (Ps 107:29, etc.) or "inactive" in any way (Jud 18:9; 1Ki 22:3; Zec 1:11, etc.). So "be still" in Ps 46:10 means "desist from your war" (compare the Revised Version margin "let be"). The "still small voice" of 1Ki 19:12 (the Revised Version margin "sound of gentle stillness") is due to taking the Hebrew demamah in its literal force of "silent," but the word here means "whisper"--"a whispering, little voice."

Prophet

(Heb. nabi, from a root meaning “to bubble forth, as from a fountain,” hence “to utter”, comp. Ps. 45:1). This Hebrew word is the first and the most generally used for a prophet. In the time of Samuel another word, ro’eh, “seer”, began to be used (1 Sam. 9:9). It occurs seven times in reference to Samuel. Afterwards another word, hozeh, “seer” (2 Sam. 24:11), was employed. In 1 Ch. 29:29 all these three words are used: “Samuel the seer (ro’eh), Nathan the prophet (nabi’), Gad the seer” (hozeh). In Josh. 13:22 Balaam is called (Heb.) a kosem “diviner,” a word used only of a false…

Smith's Bible Dictionary

The ordinary Hebrew word for prophet is nabi , derived from a verb signifying "to bubble forth" like a fountain; hence the word means one who announces or pours forth the declarations of God. The English word comes from the Greek prophetes (profetes), which signifies in classical Greek one who speaks for another , especially one who speaks for a god , and so interprets his will to man; hence its essential meaning is "an interpreter." The use of the word in its modern sense as "one who predicts" is post-classical. The larger sense of interpretation has not, however, been lost. In fact the English word ways been used in a closer sense. The different meanings or shades of meanings in which the abstract noun is employed in Scripture have been drawn out by Locke as follows: "Prophecy comprehends three things: prediction; singing by the dictate of the Spirit; and understanding and explaining…
