1
O God, why hast thou cast
[us] off for ever?
Why doth thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture?
2
Remember thy congregation,
which thou hast gotten of old,
Which thou hast redeemed to be the tribe of thine inheritance;
[And] mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt.
3
Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual
ruins,
All the evil that the enemy hath done in the sanctuary.
4
Thine adversaries have roared
in the midst of thine
assembly;
They have set up their ensigns for signs.
5
They seemed as men that
lifted up
Axes upon a thicket of trees.
6
And now all the carved work
thereof
They break down with hatchet and hammers.
7
They have set thy sanctuary
on fire;
They have profaned the dwelling-place of thy name [by casting
it] to the ground.
8
They said in their heart, Let
us make havoc of them
altogether:
They have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land.
9
We see not our signs:
There is no more any prophet;
Neither is there among us any that knoweth how long.
10
How long, O God, shall the
adversary reproach?
Shall the enemy blaspheme thy name for ever?
11
Why drawest thou back thy
hand, even thy right hand?
[Pluck it] out of thy bosom [and] consume [them].
12
Yet God is my King of old,
Working salvation in the midst of the earth.
13
Thou didst divide the sea by
thy strength:
Thou brakest the heads of the sea-monsters in the waters.
14
Thou brakest the heads of
leviathan in pieces;
Thou gavest him to be food to the people inhabiting the
wilderness.
15
Thou didst cleave fountain
and flood:
Thou driedst up mighty rivers.
16
The day is thine, the night
also is thine:
Thou hast prepared the light and the sun.
17
Thou hast set all the borders
of the earth:
Thou hast made summer and winter.
18
Remember this, that the enemy
hath reproached, O Jehovah,
And that a foolish people hath blasphemed thy name.
19
Oh deliver not the soul of
thy turtle-dove unto the wild
beast:
Forget not the life of thy poor for ever.
2
0 Have respect unto the
covenant;
For the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of
violence.
21
Oh let not the oppressed
return ashamed:
Let the poor and needy praise thy name.
22
Arise, O God, plead thine own
cause:
Remember how the foolish man reproacheth thee all the day.
23
Forget not the voice of thine
adversaries:
The tumult of those that rise up against thee ascendeth
continually.
