O
God,
why hast
thou
cast
us off
for
ever
? why doth
thine
anger smoke
against the sheep of thy
pasture?
A
Maskil
of
Asaph.
Why have
You
rejected
us forever,
O
God
? Why does
Your
anger smolder
against the sheep of Your
pasture?
Remember thy
congregation, which thou
hast
purchased of
old;
the rod
of thine
inheritance ,
which
thou
hast
redeemed;
this
mount Zion ,
wherein
thou
hast
dwelt
.
Remember Your
congregation, which You
purchased long
ago
and
redeemed
as
the tribe
of Your
inheritance —
Mount Zion where
You
dwell

Lift
up
thy
feet
unto
the
perpetual
desolations;
even
all
that
the enemy
hath
done
wickedly
in the sanctuary.
Turn
Your
steps
to
the everlasting
ruins,
to
everything
in the sanctuary the
enemy
has
destroyed
.
Thine
enemies
roar
in
the
midst
of
thy
congregations
; they set
up
their ensigns
for
signs .
Your
foes
have
roared
within
Your
meeting
place
; they have
unfurled
their banners
as
signs ,
A
man
was
famous
according
as
he
had
lifted
up
axes upon
the
thick
trees .
like
men
wielding
axes in
a
thicket
of
trees
But
now
they
break
down
the carved
work
thereof
at
once
with axes
and hammers
.
and
smashing
all
the carvings
with hatchets
and picks
.
They have cast
fire
into
thy
sanctuary ,
they have defiled by
casting
down
the dwelling place of thy
name to
the
ground
.
They have burned
Your
sanctuary to
the
ground;
they have defiled the dwelling place of Your
Name.
They said in their hearts, Let
us
destroy
them together:
they have
burned up
all
the
synagogues
of
God in the land.
They said in their hearts, “We
will
crush
them completely.”
They burned down
every
place
where
God met
us
in the land.
We
see
not
our
signs :
there is no more
any prophet :
neither
is
there
among
us any
that
knoweth
how long.
There
are
no
signs for
us
to
see.
There is no longer
any prophet .
And
none
of
us knows
how long this
will
last
.
O God, how
long
shall
the adversary
reproach
? shall
the enemy
blaspheme
thy
name for
ever
?
How
long,
O God, will
the enemy
taunt
You
? Will
the foe
revile
Your
name forever
?
Why withdrawest
thou
thy
hand,
even
thy
right hand? pluck
it out of
thy
bosom.
Why do
You
withdraw
Your
strong
right hand? Stretch
it out to
destroy
them!
For
God is my King of
old
, working salvation in
the
midst
of
the earth.
Yet
God is my King from
ancient
times
, working salvation on
the earth.

didst
divide
the sea by thy
strength :
thou
brakest
the heads of the dragons in
the waters.

divided
the sea by Your
strength ;

smashed
the heads of the dragons of
the sea;

brakest
the heads of leviathan in
pieces,
and
gavest
him to be
meat
to
the people
inhabiting
the wilderness
.
You
crushed
the heads of Leviathan ;
You
fed
him to the creatures
of
the desert
.
Thou
didst
cleave
the fountain and the flood :
thou
driedst
up mighty
rivers.
You
broke
open
the fountain and the flood ;
You
dried
up the
ever-flowing
rivers.
The day is thine
, the night also
is
thine:
thou
hast
prepared
the light
and the sun.
The day is Yours
, and
also
the night ;
You
established
the moon
and the sun.
Thou
hast
set all the borders
of the earth :
thou
hast
made summer and winter.
You
set all the boundaries
of the earth ;
You
made the
summer and winter.
Remember this,
that
the enemy hath
reproached
, O LORD, and
that
the
foolish people have
blasphemed
thy
name.
Remember how
the enemy has
mocked
You
, O LORD, how
a
foolish people has
spurned
Your
name.
O
deliver
not the soul of thy
turtledove
unto
the
multitude
of
the
wicked:
forget
not the congregation
of thy
poor
for
ever
.
Do
not deliver
the soul of Your
dove
to
beasts;
do
not forget
the lives
of Your
afflicted
forever
.
Have
respect
unto
the
covenant :
for the dark places of the earth
are
full
of
the
habitations
of
cruelty
.
Consider
Your
covenant ,
for haunts
of
violence
fill
the dark places of the land
.
O
let
not the oppressed return
ashamed:
let
the poor and needy praise thy
name.
Do
not let
the oppressed retreat
in
shame;
may
the poor and needy praise Your
name.
Arise
, O God ,
plead
thine
own
cause :
remember how the foolish
man
reproacheth
thee
daily
.
Rise
up
, O God ;
defend
Your
cause !
Remember how the fool
mocks
You
all
day
long
.
Forget
not the voice
of thine
enemies:
the tumult
of those
that rise
up
against
thee
increaseth
continually.
Do
not disregard
the clamor
of Your
adversaries,
the uproar
of Your
enemies
that ascends
continually.
