Maschil{H4905}{H8688)} of Asaph{H623}. O God{H430}, why hast thou cast us off{H2186}{H8804)} for ever{H5331}? why doth thine anger{H639} smoke{H6225}{H8799)} against the sheep{H6629} of thy pasture{H4830}?

Remember{H2142}{H8798)} thy congregation{H5712}, which thou hast purchased{H7069}{H8804)} of old{H6924}; the rod{H7626} of thine inheritance{H5159}, which thou hast redeemed{H1350}{H8804)}; this mount{H2022} Zion{H6726}, wherein thou hast dwelt{H7931}{H8804)}.

Lift up{H7311}{H8685)} thy feet{H6471} unto the perpetual{H5331} desolations{H4876}; even all that the enemy{H341}{H8802)} hath done wickedly{H7489}{H8689)} in the sanctuary{H6944}.

Thine enemies{H6887}{H8802)} roar{H7580}{H8804)} in the midst{H7130} of thy congregations{H4150}; they set up{H7760}{H8804)} their ensigns{H226} for signs{H226}.

A man was famous{H3045}{H8735)} according as he had lifted up{H935}{H8688)}{H4605} axes{H7134} upon the thick{H5442} trees{H6086}.

But now they break down{H1986}{H8799)} the carved work{H6603} thereof at once{H3162} with axes{H3781} and hammers{H3597}.

They have cast{H7971}{H8765)} fire{H784} into thy sanctuary{H4720}, they have defiled{H2490}{H8765)} by casting down the dwelling place{H4908} of thy name{H8034} to the ground{H776}.

They said{H559}{H8804)} in their hearts{H3820}, Let us destroy{H3238}{H8799)} them together{H3162}: they have burned up{H8313}{H8804)} all the synagogues{H4150} of God{H410} in the land{H776}.

We see{H7200}{H8804)} not our signs{H226}: there is no more any prophet{H5030}: neither is there among us any that knoweth{H3045}{H8802)} how long{H5704}.

O God{H430}, how long shall the adversary{H6862} reproach{H2778}{H8762)}? shall the enemy{H341}{H8802)} blaspheme{H5006}{H8762)} thy name{H8034} for ever{H5331}?

Why withdrawest{H7725}{H8686)} thou thy hand{H3027}, even thy right hand{H3225}? pluck{H3615}{H8761)} it out of{H7130} thy bosom{H2436}{H8675)}{H2436}.

For God{H430} is my King{H4428} of old{H6924}, working{H6466}{H8802)} salvation{H3444} in the midst{H7130} of the earth{H776}.

Thou didst divide{H6565}{H8782)} the sea{H3220} by thy strength{H5797}: thou brakest{H7665}{H8765)} the heads{H7218} of the dragons{H8577} in the waters{H4325}.

Thou brakest{H7533}{H8765)} the heads{H7218} of leviathan{H3882} in pieces, and gavest{H5414}{H8799)} him to be meat{H3978} to the people{H5971} inhabiting the wilderness{H6728}.

Thou didst cleave{H1234}{H8804)} the fountain{H4599} and the flood{H5158}: thou driedst up{H3001}{H8689)} mighty{H386} rivers{H5104}.

The day{H3117} is thine, the night{H3915} also is thine: thou hast prepared{H3559}{H8689)} the light{H3974} and the sun{H8121}.

Thou hast set{H5324}{H8689)} all the borders{H1367} of the earth{H776}: thou hast made{H3335}{H8804)} summer{H7019} and winter{H2779}.

Remember{H2142}{H8798)} this, that the enemy{H341}{H8802)} hath reproached{H2778}{H8765)}, O LORD{H3068}, and that the foolish{H5036} people{H5971} have blasphemed{H5006}{H8765)} thy name{H8034}.

O deliver{H5414}{H8799)} not the soul{H5315} of thy turtledove{H8449} unto the multitude{H2416} of the wicked: forget{H7911}{H8799)} not the congregation{H2416} of thy poor{H6041} for ever{H5331}.

Have respect{H5027}{H8685)} unto the covenant{H1285}: for the dark{H4285} places of the earth{H776} are full{H4390}{H8804)} of the habitations{H4999} of cruelty{H2555}.

O let not the oppressed{H1790} return{H7725}{H8799)} ashamed{H3637}{H8737)}: let the poor{H6041} and needy{H34} praise{H1984}{H8762)} thy name{H8034}.

Arise{H6965}{H8798)}, O God{H430}, plead{H7378}{H8798)} thine own cause{H7379}: remember{H2142}{H8798)} how the foolish man{H5036} reproacheth{H2781} thee daily{H3117}.

Forget{H7911}{H8799)} not the voice{H6963} of thine enemies{H6887}{H8802)}: the tumult{H7588} of those that rise up{H6965}{H8801)} against thee increaseth{H5927}{H8802)} continually{H8548}.
