1O God, why do you cast us off forever?[#Deut 29.20; Ps 44.9, 23]
Why does your anger smoke against the sheep of your pasture?
2Remember your congregation, which you acquired long ago,[#Deut 32.6; Ps 77.15]
which you redeemed to be the tribe of your heritage.
Remember Mount Zion, where you came to dwell.
3Direct your steps to the perpetual ruins;[#Ps 79.1; Isa 61.4]
the enemy has destroyed everything in the sanctuary.
4Your foes have roared within your holy place;[#Num 2.2; Lam 2.7]
they set up their emblems there.
5At the upper entrance they hacked[#Jer 46.22]
the wooden trellis with axes.
6And then, with hatchets and hammers,
they smashed all its carved work.
7They set your sanctuary on fire;[#2 Kings 25.9]
they desecrated the dwelling place of your name,
bringing it 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 emblems;[#1 Sam 3.1; Ps 78.43]
there is no longer any prophet,
and there is no one among us who knows how long.
10How long, O God, is the foe to scoff?[#Lev 24.16]
Is the enemy to revile your name forever?
11Why do you hold back your hand;[#Ps 59.13]
why do you keep your hand in your bosom?
12Yet God my King is from of old,[#Ps 44.4]
working salvation in the earth.
13You divided the sea by your might;[#Isa 51.9]
you broke the heads of the dragons in the waters.
14You crushed the heads of Leviathan;
you gave him as food for the creatures of the wilderness.
15You cut openings for springs and torrents;[#Ex 17.5, 6; Num 20.11; Josh 3.13]
you dried up ever-flowing streams.
16Yours is the day, yours also the night;[#Ps 104.19]
you established the luminaries and the sun.
17You have fixed all the bounds of the earth;[#Gen 8.22]
you made summer and winter.
18Remember this, O Lord , how the enemy scoffs,[#v 10 ; Ps 39.8]
and an impious people reviles your name.
19Do not deliver the soul of your dove to the wild animals;[#Ps 9.18; Song 2.14]
do not forget the life of your poor forever.
20Have regard for your covenant,[#Gen 17.7; Ps 88.6; 106.45; #74.20 Gk Syr: Heb the]
for the dark places of the land are full of the haunts of violence.
21Do not let the downtrodden be put to shame;[#Ps 35.10; 103.6]
let the poor and needy praise your name.
22Rise up, O God, plead your cause;[#v 18 ; Ps 43.1]
remember how the impious scoff at you all day long.
23Do not forget the clamor of your foes,[#v 10 ; Ps 65.7]
the uproar of your adversaries that goes up continually.
