O God, why hast thou cast {cf15i us} off for ever? why doth thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture? |
2
|
Remember thy congregation, which thou hast purchased of old, which thou hast redeemed to be the tribe of thine inheritance; {cf15i 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 together they break down with hatchet and hammers. |
7
|
They have set thy sanctuary on fire; they have profaned the dwelling place of thy name even 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? {cf15i pluck it} out of thy bosom {cf15i and} consume {cf15i 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 dragons in the waters. |
14
|
Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces, thou gavest him to be meat 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 LORD, and that foolish people have blasphemed thy name. |
19
|
O deliver not the soul of thy turtle-dove unto the wild beast: forget not the life of thy poor for ever. |
20
|
Have respect unto the covenant: for the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of violence. |
21
|
O 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. |
