- 1. ¶ O GOD, why hast thou cast us off for ever? Why hath thine anger become inflamed against the sheep of thy flock?
- 2. Remember thy congregation which thou hast possessed of old; the tribe of thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed; this mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt.
- 3. Exalt thy servants over those who are carried away by power; all those who oppress are enemies of thy sanctuary.
- 4. Thine enemies exalted themselves in the midst of thy feasts; they set up their banners for signs.
- 5. Thou knowest this as the exalted one who sits on high: they have hewn down the doors with axes as they would cut the trees of the forest.
- 6. They have destroyed everything with axes and hammers.
- 7. They have set fire to and burned thy sanctuary; they have defiled the dwelling place of thy name on earth.
- 8. They said in their hearts, Let us destroy them together; let us abolish all the feast days of God from the land.
- 9. They did not see the wonders thereof; for there is no more any prophet, neither is there among us any wise man.
- 10. O God, how long shall the adversary reproach? Shall the enemy blaspheme thy name for ever?
- 11. Why withdrawest thou thy hand, even thy strength from the midst of thy congregation?
- 12. ¶ For God is our King, who of old has commanded the salvation of Jacob.
- 13. Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength: thou didst break the heads of the dragons in the waters.
- 14. Thou didst break the heads of Leviathan in pieces, and thou gavest him as food to a strong people.
- 15. Thou didst open the fountains in the valleys; thou didst dry 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 has reproached, O LORD, and that the foolish people have blasphemed thy name.
- 19. O deliver not to destruction the soul that confesses to thee; forget not the souls of thy poor for ever.
- 20. Respect thy covenant, O LORD; for the habitations of the earth are full of ignorance and cruelty.
- 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 daily.
- 23. Forget not the voice of thine enemies; the tumult of those that rise up against thee ascendeth continually.
