| 1. | {An instruction: of Asaph.} Why, O God, hast thou cast off for ever? why doth thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture? |
| 2. | Remember thine assembly, which thou hast purchased of old, which thou hast redeemed to be the portion of thine inheritance, this mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt. |
| 3. | Lift up thy steps unto the perpetual desolations: everything in the sanctuary hath the enemy destroyed. |
| 4. | Thine adversaries roar in the midst of thy place of assembly; they set up their signs for signs. |
| 5. | A man was known as he could lift up axes in the thicket of trees; |
| 6. | And now they break down its carved work altogether, with hatchets and hammers. |
| 7. | They have set on fire thy sanctuary, they have profaned the habitation of thy name to the ground. |
| 8. | They said in their heart, Let us destroy them together: they have burned up all łGod`s places of assembly 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 contemn thy name for ever? |
| 11. | Why withdrawest thou thy hand, and thy right hand? pluck it out of thy bosom: consume them. |
| 12. | But God is my king of old, accomplishing deliverances in the midst of the earth. |
| 13. | Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength; thou didst break the heads of the monsters on the waters: |
| 14. | Thou didst break in pieces the heads of leviathan, thou gavest him to be meat to those that people the desert. |
| 15. | Thou didst cleave fountain and torrent, thou driedst up ever-flowing rivers. |
| 16. | The day is thine, the night also is thine; thou hast prepared the moon and the sun: |
| 17. | Thou hast set all the borders of the earth; summer and winter -- thou didst form them. |
| 18. | Remember this, that an enemy hath reproached Jehovah, and a foolish people have contemned thy name. |
| 19. | Give not up the soul of thy turtle-dove unto the wild beast; forget not the troop of thine afflicted for ever. |
| 20. | Have respect unto the covenant; for the dark places of the earth are full of the dwellings of violence. |
| 21. | Oh let not the oppressed one return ashamed; let the afflicted and needy praise thy name. |
| 22. | Rise up, 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. |
