A maskil of Asaph. God, why have you turned away from us for so long? Why are you still angry with us, your own flock? |
2
|
Remember the people you bought so long ago. You saved us, and we belong to you. And remember Mount Zion, the place where you lived. |
3
|
God, come walk through these ancient ruins. Come back to the Holy Place that the enemy destroyed. |
4
|
The enemy shouted their war cries in the Temple. They put up their flags there to show they had won the war. |
5
|
Their soldiers attacked the doors, like workmen chopping down trees. |
6
|
Using axes and hatchets, they smashed the carved panels inside. |
7
|
They burned down your Holy Place. It was built to honor your name, but they pulled it down to the ground. |
8
|
The enemy decided to crush us completely. They burned every holy place in the country. |
9
|
We do not see any of our signs. There are no more prophets. And no one knows how long this will last. |
10
|
God, how much longer will the enemy make fun of us? Will you let them insult your name forever? |
11
|
Why won't you help us? Use your power to defeat our enemies! |
12
|
God, you have been our King for a long time. You have saved us many times on this earth. |
13
|
With your great power you split open the sea and broke the heads of the sea monster. |
14
|
Yes, you smashed the heads of Leviathan and left his body for animals to eat. |
15
|
You make the springs and rivers flow, and you make the rivers dry up. |
16
|
You control the day and the night. You made the sun and the moon. |
17
|
You set the limits for everything on earth. And you created summer and winter. |
18
|
Lord, remember, the enemy insulted you! Those foolish people hate your name. |
19
|
Don't give us like a helpless dove to those wild animals. Never forget your poor, suffering people. |
20
|
Remember the agreement you gave us, because violence fills every dark place in this land. |
21
|
Your people were treated badly. Don't let them be hurt anymore. Let your poor, helpless people praise you. |
22
|
God, get up and defend yourself! Remember, those fools challenged you. |
23
|
Don't forget the shouts of your enemies. They insulted you again and again. |
