An
Instruction
of Asaph. Why, O God ,
hast
Thou
cast
off
for
ever
? Thine
anger smoketh
against the flock
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
company.
Thou
didst
purchase
of
old
, Thou
didst
redeem
the rod
of Thy
inheritance ,
This
mount Zion --
Thou
didst
dwell in
it
.
Remember Your
congregation
, which
You
purchased
long
ago
and
redeemed
as
the tribe
of Your
inheritance —
Mount Zion where
You
dwell.
Lift
up
Thy
steps to the perpetual
desolations
, Everything the
enemy
did
wickedly
in the sanctuary.
Turn
Your
steps to the everlasting
ruins
, to
everything in the sanctuary the
enemy
has
destroyed
.
Roared
have thine
adversaries,
In
the
midst
of
Thy
meeting -places,
They have set
their ensigns
as ensigns.
Your
foes
have roared
within
Your
meeting place;
they have unfurled
their banners
as signs,
He
is
known
as
one
bringing
in on
high
Against
a thicket of wood
--
axes.
like
men
wielding
axes
in a thicket of trees
And now,
its
carvings together
With axe
and hatchet
they
break
down,
and smashing
all
the
carvings with hatchets
and picks.
They have sent
into
fire
Thy
sanctuary ,
to the earth
they polluted
the tabernacle
of Thy
name ,
They have burned
Your
sanctuary to the ground;
they have
defiled
the dwelling
place
of Your
Name .
They said in their hearts, `Let
us
oppress
them together,'
They did
burn
all
the
meeting-places
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.
Our
ensigns
we
have
not
seen,
There is no more
a
prophet ,
Nor
with
us is
one
knowing
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
.
Till
when
, O God, doth
an
adversary
reproach?
Doth
an
enemy despise
thy
name for
ever
?
How
long
, O God, will
the
enemy taunt
You?
Will
the
foe
revile
Your
name forever
?
Why dost
Thou
turn
back
Thy
hand,
Even
Thy
right hand? From
the
midst
of
Thy
bosom
remove
`
it '.
Why do
You
withdraw
Your
strong
right hand? Stretch
it out
to
destroy
them!
And
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.
Thou
hast
broken
by Thy
strength a
sea-`monster',
Thou
hast
shivered
Heads of dragons by
the waters,
You
divided
the
sea
by Your
strength ;
You
smashed
the
heads of the
dragons of
the sea;
Thou
hast
broken
the heads of leviathan ,
Thou
makest
him food,
For
the people
of the dry
places
.
You
crushed
the heads of Leviathan ;
You
fed
him to
the creatures
of the desert
.
Thou
hast
cleaved
a
fountain and a
stream,
Thou
hast
dried up perennial
flowings
.
You
broke
open
the
fountain and the
flood;
You
dried up the
ever-flowing
rivers
.
Thine
`is'
the day, also Thine
`is'
the night ,
Thou
hast
prepared
a
light
giver
--
the sun.
The day is
Yours
, and
also the night ;
You
established
the moon
and
the
sun.
Thou
hast
set up
all the borders
of earth ,
Summer and winter Thou
hast
formed
them
.
You
set all the boundaries
of the
earth ;
You
made
the
summer and winter.
Remember this
--
an
enemy reproached
Jehovah
, And
a foolish people have
despised
Thy
name.
Remember how
the
enemy has
mocked
You
, O
LORD,
how
a foolish people has
spurned
Your
name.
Give
not up
to
a
company,
The soul of Thy
turtle-
dove ,
The company
of Thy
poor
ones
forget
not
for
ever
.
Do
not deliver
the soul of Your
dove to
beasts;
do
not
forget
the lives
of Your
afflicted
forever
.
Look
attentively
to
the
covenant, For the dark places of earth,
Have
been
full
of
habitations
of
violence
.
Consider
Your
covenant, for haunts
of
violence
fill
the dark places of the
land
.
Let
not the oppressed turn
back
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
Thy
plea,
Remember Thy
reproach
from
a
fool all the
day.
Rise
up
, O God ;
defend
Your
cause!
Remember how
the
fool mocks
You
all day long
.
Forget
not the voice
of Thine
adversaries, The noise
of Thy
withstanders
is
going
up
continually !
Do
not disregard
the clamor
of Your
adversaries, the uproar
of Your
enemies
that
ascends
continually .
