A contemplation by Asaph.

[1] God, why have you rejected us forever?
Why does your anger smolder against the sheep of your pasture?
[2] Remember your congregation, which you purchased of old,
which you have redeemed to be the tribe of your inheritance:
Mount Zion, in which you have lived.
[3] Lift up your feet to the perpetual ruins,
all the evil that the enemy has done in the sanctuary.
[4] Your adversaries have roared in the middle of your assembly.
They have set up their standards as signs.
[5] They behaved like men wielding axes,
cutting through a thicket of trees.
[6] Now they break all its carved work down with hatchet and hammers.
[7] They have burned your sanctuary to the ground.
They have profaned the dwelling place of your Name.
[8] They said in their heart, “We will crush them completely.”
They have burned up all the places in the land where God was worshiped.
[9] We see no miraculous signs.
There is no longer any prophet,
neither is there among us anyone who knows how long.
[10] How long, God, shall the adversary reproach?
Shall the enemy blaspheme your name forever?
[11] Why do you draw back your hand, even your right hand?
Take it from your chest and consume them! [12] Yet God is my King of old,
working salvation throughout the earth.
[13] You divided the sea by your strength.
You broke the heads of the sea monsters in the waters.
[14] You broke the heads of Leviathan in pieces.
You gave him as food to people and desert creatures.
[15] You opened up spring and stream.
You dried up mighty rivers.
[16] The day is yours, the night is also yours.
You have prepared the light and the sun.
[17] You have set all the boundaries of the earth.
You have made summer and winter. [18] Remember this, that the enemy has mocked you, Yahweh.
Foolish people have blasphemed your name.
[19] Don’t deliver the soul of your dove to wild beasts.
Don’t forget the life of your poor forever.
[20] Honor your covenant,
for haunts of violence fill the dark places of the earth.
[21] Don’t let the oppressed return ashamed.
Let the poor and needy praise your name.
[22] Arise, God! Plead your own cause.
Remember how the foolish man mocks you all day.
[23] Don’t forget the voice of your adversaries.
The tumult of those who rise up against you ascends continually.
King James Version

Maschil H4905 of Asaph. H623

[1] O God, H430 why hast thou cast us off H2186 for ever? H5331
Why doth thine anger H639 smoke H6225 against the sheep H6629 of thy pasture? H4830
[2] Remember H2142 thy congregation, H5712 which thou hast purchased H7069 of old; H6924
The rod H7626§ of thine inheritance, H5159 which thou hast redeemed; H1350
This H2088 mount H2022 Zion, H6726 wherein thou hast dwelt. H7931
[3] Lift up H7311 thy feet H6471 unto the perpetual H5331 desolations; H4876
Even all that the enemy H341
hath done wickedly H7489 in the sanctuary. H6944
[4] Thine enemies H6887 roar H7580 in the midst H7130 of thy congregations; H4150
They set up H7760 their ensigns H226 for signs. H226
[5] A man was famous H3045 according as he had lifted up H935 H4605 axes H7134 upon the thick H5442 trees. H6086
[6] But now they break down H1986 the carved work H6603
Thereof at once H3162 with axes H3781 and hammers. H3597
[7] They have cast H7971 fire H784 into thy sanctuary, H4720§
They have defiled H2490 by casting down the dwelling place H4908 of thy name H8034 to the ground. H776
[8] They said H559 in their hearts, H3820 Let us destroy H3238§ them together: H3162
They have burned up H8313 all H3605 the synagogues H4150 of God H410 in the land. H776
[9] We see H7200 not our signs: H226 There is no more any prophet: H5030
Neither is there among us any that knoweth H3045 how long. H5704
[10] O God, H430 how long shall the adversary H6862 reproach? H2778
Shall the enemy H341 blaspheme H5006 thy name H8034 for ever? H5331
[11] Why withdrawest H7725 thou thy hand, H3027 even thy right hand? H3225
Pluck H3615 it out of H7130 thy bosom. H2436 H2436
[12] For God H430 is my King H4428 of old, H6924
Working H6466 salvation H3444 in the midst H7130 of the earth. H776
[13] Thou didst divide H6565§ the sea H3220 by thy strength: H5797
Thou brakest H7665 the heads H7218 of the dragons H8577§ in the waters. H4325
[14] Thou brakest H7533 the heads H7218 of leviathan H3882 in pieces,
And gavest H5414 him to be meat H3978 to the people H5971 inhabiting the wilderness. H6728
[15] Thou didst cleave H1234 the fountain H4599 and the flood: H5158
Thou driedst up H3001 mighty H386 rivers. H5104§
[16] The day H3117 is thine, the night H3915 also is thine:
Thou hast prepared H3559 the light H3974 and the sun. H8121
[17] Thou hast set H5324 all H3605 the borders H1367 of the earth: H776
Thou hast made H3335§ summer H7019 and winter. H2779
[18] Remember H2142 this, that the enemy H341 hath reproached, H2778 O Lord, H3068
And that the foolish H5036 people H5971 have blasphemed H5006 thy name. H8034
[19] O deliver H5414 not H408 the soul H5315 of thy turtledove H8449 unto the multitude H2416 of the wicked:
Forget H7911 not H408 the congregation H2416 of thy poor H6041 for ever. H5331
[20] Have respect H5027 unto the covenant: H1285
For H3588 the dark H4285 places of the earth H776 are full H4390 of the habitations H4999 of cruelty. H2555
[21] O let not the oppressed H1790 return H7725 ashamed: H3637
Let the poor H6041 and needy H34 praise H1984 thy name. H8034
[22] Arise, H6965 O God, H430 plead H7378 thine own cause: H7379
Remember H2142 how the foolish man H5036 reproacheth H2781 thee daily. H3117
[23] Forget H7911 not H408 the voice H6963 of thine enemies: H6887
The tumult H7588 of those that rise up H6965 against thee increaseth H5927§ continually. H8548
