A MASKIL OF ASAPH.O God, why do you cast us off forever? Why does your anger smoke against the sheep of your pasture? |
2
|
Remember your congregation, which you have purchased of old, which you have redeemed to be the tribe of your heritage! Remember Mount Zion, where you have dwelt. |
3
|
Direct your steps to the perpetual ruins; the enemy has destroyed everything in the sanctuary! |
4
|
Your foes have roared in the midst of your meeting place; they set up their own signs for signs. |
5
|
They were like those who swing axes in a forest of trees. |
6
|
And all its carved wood they broke down with hatchets and hammers. |
7
|
They set your sanctuary on fire; they profaned the dwelling place of your name, bringing it down to the ground. |
8
|
They said to themselves, "We will utterly subdue them"; they burned all the meeting places of God in the land. |
9
|
We do not see our signs; there is no longer any prophet, and there is none among us who knows how long. |
10
|
How long, O God, is the foe to scoff? Is the enemy to revile your name forever? |
11
|
Why do you hold back your hand, your right hand? Take it from the fold of your garment and destroy them! |
12
|
Yet God my King is from of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth. |
13
|
You divided the sea by your might; you broke the heads of the sea monsters on the waters. |
14
|
You crushed the heads of Leviathan; you gave him as food for the creatures of the wilderness. |
15
|
You split open springs and brooks; you dried up ever-flowing streams. |
16
|
Yours is the day, yours also the night; you have established the heavenly lights and the sun. |
17
|
You have fixed all the boundaries of the earth; you have made summer and winter. |
18
|
Remember this, O LORD, how the enemy scoffs, and a foolish people reviles your name. |
19
|
Do not deliver the soul of your dove to the wild beasts; do not forget the life of your poor forever. |
20
|
Have regard for the covenant, for the dark places of the land are full of the habitations of violence. |
21
|
Let not the downtrodden turn back in shame; let the poor and needy praise your name. |
22
|
Arise, O God, defend your cause; remember how the foolish scoff at you all the day! |
23
|
Do not forget the clamor of your foes, the uproar of those who rise against you, which goes up continually! |
