- 0. Maschil of Asaph.
- 1. O God, why hast thou cast [us] off for ever? Why doth thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture?
- 2. Remember thy congregation, which thou hast gotten of old, Which thou hast redeemed to be the tribe of thine inheritance; [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 They break down with hatchet and hammers.
- 7. They have set thy sanctuary on fire; They have profaned the dwelling-place of thy name [by casting it] 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? [Pluck it] out of thy bosom [and] consume [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 sea-monsters in the waters.
- 14. Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces; Thou gavest him to be food 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 Jehovah, And that a foolish people hath blasphemed thy name.
- 19. Oh 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. Oh 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.
