1Maschil4905 of Asaph623. O God430, why hast thou cast us off2186 for ever5331? why doth thine anger639 smoke6225 against the sheep6629 of thy pasture4830?
2Remember2142 thy congregation5712, which thou hast purchased7069 of old6924; the rod7626 of thine inheritance5159, which thou hast redeemed1350; this mount2022 Zion6726, wherein thou hast dwelt7931.
3Lift up7311 thy feet6471 unto the perpetual5331 desolations4876; even all that the enemy341 hath done wickedly7489 in the sanctuary6944.
4Thine enemies6887 roar7580 in the midst7130 of thy congregations4150; they set up7760 their ensigns226 for signs226.
5A man was famous3045 according as he had lifted up935 4605 axes7134 upon the thick5442 trees6086.
6But now they break down1986 the carved work6603 thereof at once3162 with axes3781 and hammers3597.
7They have cast7971 fire784 into thy sanctuary4720, they have defiled2490 by casting down the dwelling place4908 of thy name8034 to the ground776.
8They said559 in their hearts3820, Let us destroy3238 them together3162: they have burned up8313 all the synagogues4150 of God410 in the land776.
9We see7200 not our signs226: there is no more any prophet5030: neither is there among us any that knoweth3045 how long5704.
10O God430, how long shall the adversary6862 reproach2778? shall the enemy341 blaspheme5006 thy name8034 for ever5331?
11Why withdrawest7725 thou thy hand3027, even thy right hand3225? pluck3615 it out of7130 thy bosom2436 2436.
12For God430 is my King4428 of old6924, working6466 salvation3444 in the midst7130 of the earth776.
13Thou didst divide6565 the sea3220 by thy strength5797: thou brakest7665 the heads7218 of the dragons8577 in the waters4325.
14Thou brakest7533 the heads7218 of leviathan3882 in pieces, and gavest5414 him to be meat3978 to the people5971 inhabiting the wilderness6728.
15Thou didst cleave1234 the fountain4599 and the flood5158: thou driedst up3001 mighty386 rivers5104.
16The day3117 is thine, the night3915 also is thine: thou hast prepared3559 the light3974 and the sun8121.
17Thou hast set5324 all the borders1367 of the earth776: thou hast made3335 summer7019 and winter2779.
18Remember2142 this, that the enemy341 hath reproached2778, O LORD3068, and that the foolish5036 people5971 have blasphemed5006 thy name8034.
19O deliver5414 not the soul5315 of thy turtledove8449 unto the multitude2416 of the wicked: forget7911 not the congregation2416 of thy poor6041 for ever5331.
20Have respect5027 unto the covenant1285: for the dark4285 places of the earth776 are full4390 of the habitations4999 of cruelty2555.
21O let not the oppressed1790 return7725 ashamed3637: let the poor6041 and needy34 praise1984 thy name8034.
22Arise6965, O God430, plead7378 thine own cause7379: remember2142 how the foolish man5036 reproacheth2781 thee daily3117.
23Forget7911 not the voice6963 of thine enemies6887: the tumult7588 of those that rise up6965 against thee increaseth5927 continually8548.
