MaschilH4905 of Asaph.H623 O God,H430 whyH4100 have you castH2186 us off for ever?H5331 why does your angerH639 smokeH6225 against the sheepH6629 of your pasture?H4830
2
RememberH2142 your congregation,H5712 which you have purchasedH7069 of old;H6924 the rodH7626 of your inheritance,H5159 which you have redeemed;H1350 thisH2088 mountH2022 Zion,H6726 wherein you have dwelled.H7931
3
LiftH7311 up your feetH6471 to the perpetualH5331 desolations;H4876 even allH3605 that the enemyH341 has done wickedlyH7489 in the sanctuary.H6944
4
Your enemiesH6887 roarH7580 in the middleH7130 of your congregations;H4150 they setH7760 up their ensignsH226 for signs.H226
5
A man was famousH3045 according as he had liftedH935 up axesH7134 on the thickH5441 trees.H6086
6
But nowH6258 they breakH1986 down the carvedH6603 workH6603 thereof atH3162 once with axesH3781 and hammers.H3597
7
They have castH7971 fireH784 into your sanctuary,H4720 they have defiledH2490 by casting down the dwellingH4908 place of your nameH8034 to the ground.H776
8
They saidH559 in their hearts,H3820 Let us destroyH3238 them together:H3162 they have burnedH8313 up allH3605 the synagoguesH4150 of GodH410 in the land.H776
9
We seeH7200 not our signs:H226 there is noH369 moreH5750 any prophet:H5030 neitherH3808 is there amongH854 us any that knowsH3045 howH5704 long.H5704
10
O God,H430 howH5704 longH5704 shall the adversaryH6862 reproach?H2778 shall the enemyH341 blasphemeH5006 your nameH8034 for ever?H5331
11
WhyH4100 withdrawH7725 you your hand,H3027 even your rightH3225 hand?H3225 pluckH3615 it out of your bosom.H2436
12
For GodH430 is my KingH4428 of old,H6924 workingH6466 salvationH3444 in the middleH7130 of the earth.H776
13
You did divideH6565 the seaH3220 by your strength:H5797 you brakeH7665 the headsH7218 of the dragonsH8577 in the waters.H4325
14
You brakeH7533 the headsH7218 of leviathanH3882 in pieces, and gaveH5414 him to be meatH3978 to the peopleH5971 inhabitingH6728 the wilderness.H6728
15
You did splitH1234 the fountainH4599 and the flood:H5158 you driedH3001 up mightyH386 rivers.H5104
16
The dayH3117 is yours, the nightH3915 alsoH637 is yours: you have preparedH3559 the lightH3974 and the sun.H8121
17
You have setH5324 allH3605 the bordersH1367 of the earth:H776 you have madeH3335 summerH7019 and winter.H2779
18
RememberH2142 this,H2063 that the enemyH341 has reproached,H2778 O LORD,H3068 and that the foolishH5036 peopleH5971 have blasphemedH5006 your name.H8034
19
O deliverH5414 not the soulH5315 of your turtledoveH8449 to the multitudeH2416 of the wicked: forgetH7911 not the congregationH2416 of your poorH6041 for ever.H5331
20
Have respectH5027 to the covenant:H1285 for the darkH4285 places of the earthH776 are fullH4390 of the habitationsH4999 of cruelty.H2555
21
O let not the oppressedH1790 returnH7725 ashamed:H3637 let the poorH6041 and needyH34 praiseH1984 your name.H8034
22
Arise,H6965 O God,H430 pleadH7378 your own cause:H7379 rememberH2142 how the foolishH5036 man reproachesH2781 you daily.H3605 H3117
23
ForgetH7911 not the voiceH6963 of your enemies:H6887 the tumultH7588 of those that riseH6965 up against you increasesH5927 continually.H8548
