1 O God, why have you cast [us] off for ever? [why] does your anger smoke against the sheep of your pasture?
2 Remember your congregation, [which] you have purchased of old; the rod of your inheritance, [which] you have redeemed; this mount Zion, in which you have dwelt.
3 Lift up your feet to the perpetual desolations; all [that] the enemy has done wickedly in the sanctuary.
4 Your enemies roar in the midst of your congregations; they set up their ensigns [for] signs.
5 [A man] was famous according as he had lifted up axes upon the thick trees.
6 But now they break down its carved work at once with axes and hammers.
7 They have cast fire into your sanctuary, they have defiled [by casting down] the dwelling place of your name to the ground.
8 They said in their hearts, Let us destroy them together: they have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land.
9 We do not see our signs: [there are] no more prophets: neither [is there] among us anyone that knows how long.
10 O God, how long will the adversary reproach? will the enemy blaspheme your name for ever?
11 Why do you withdraw your hand, your right hand? pluck [it] out of your bosom.
12 For God [is] my King of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth.
13 You divided the sea by your strength: you broke the heads of the dragons in the waters.
14 You broke the heads of leviathan in pieces, [and] gave him [to be] food to the people inhabiting the wilderness.
15 You split the fountain and the flood: you dried up mighty rivers.
16 The day [is] yours, the night also [is] yours: you have prepared the light and the sun.
17 You have set all the borders of the earth: you have made summer and winter.
18 Remember this, [that] the enemy has reproached, O LORD [Yahweh], and [that] the foolish people have blasphemed your name.
19 O do not deliver the soul of your turtledove to the multitude [of the wicked]: do not forget the congregation of your poor for ever.
20 Have regard for the covenant: for the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of cruelty.
21 O do not let the oppressed return ashamed: let the poor and needy praise your name.
22 Arise, O God, plead your own cause: remember how the foolish man reproaches you daily.
23 Do not forget the voice of your enemies: the tumult of those that rise up against you increases continually.
