1O God, why do you cast us off forever?[#Ps. 44:9]
Why does your anger smoke against the sheep of your pasture?
2Remember your congregation, which you have purchased of old,[#18, 22; #Ex. 15:16; Deut. 32:6; Ps. 78:54]
which you have redeemed to be the tribe of your heritage!
Remember Mount Zion, where you have dwelt.
3Direct your steps to the perpetual ruins;[#Isa. 61:4]
the enemy has destroyed everything in the sanctuary!
4Your foes have roared in the midst of your meeting place;[#Lam. 2:6, 7]
they set up their own signs for signs.
5They were like those who swing axes[#Jer. 46:22]
in a forest of trees.
6And all its carved wood[#1 Kgs. 6:18, 29, 32, 35]
they broke down with hatchets and hammers.
7They set your sanctuary on fire;[#2 Kgs. 25:9; Ps. 79:1]
they profaned the dwelling place of your name,
bringing it down to the ground.
8They said to themselves, “We will utterly subdue them”;[#Ps. 83:4]
they burned all the meeting places of God in the land.
9We do not see our signs;[#4]
there is no longer any prophet,
and there is none among us who knows how long.
10How long, O God, is the foe to scoff?[#18, 22; Ps. 79:12; 89:51]
Is the enemy to revile your name forever?
11Why do you hold back your hand, your right hand?[#Lam. 2:3]
Take it from the fold of your garment and destroy them!
12Yet God my King is from of old,[#Ps. 44:4]
working salvation in the midst of the earth.
13You divided the sea by your might;[#Ex. 14:21]
you broke the heads of the sea monsters on the waters.
14You crushed the heads of Leviathan;[#Job 41:1]
you gave him as food for the creatures of the wilderness.
15You split open springs and brooks;[#Ps. 78:15; 105:41; Ex. 17:5, 6; Num. 20:11; Isa. 48:21]
you dried up ever-flowing streams.
16Yours is the day, yours also the night;
you have established the heavenly lights and the sun.
17You have fixed all the boundaries of the earth;[#Deut. 32:8; Acts 17:26]
you have made summer and winter.
18Remember this, O Lord , how the enemy scoffs,[#2, 22; Ps. 89:50; Rev. 16:19; 18:5]
and a foolish people reviles your name.
19Do not deliver the soul of your dove to the wild beasts;[#Song 2:14]
do not forget the life of your poor forever.
20Have regard for the covenant,[#Ps. 106:45; Gen. 17:7, 8; Lev. 26:44, 45; Jer. 33:21]
for the dark places of the land are full of the habitations of violence.
21Let not the downtrodden turn back in shame;[#Ps. 9:9; 10:18; #Ps. 6:10]
let the poor and needy praise your name.
22Arise, O God, defend your cause;[#1 Sam. 24:15]
remember how the foolish scoff at you all the day!
23Do not forget the clamor of your foes,
the uproar of those who rise against you, which goes up continually!
