|
|
\v 1 God, why have you rejected us forever?
|
|
\q Why does your anger burn against the sheep of your pasture?
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 2 Call to mind your people, whom you purchased in ancient times,
|
|
\q the tribe whom you have redeemed to be your own heritage,
|
|
\q and Mount Zion, where you live.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 3 Come look at the complete ruins,
|
|
\q all the damage that the enemy has done in the holy place.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 4 Your adversaries roared in the middle of your appointed place;
|
|
\q they set up their battle flags.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 5 They hacked away with axes
|
|
\q as in a thick forest.
|
|
\q
|
|

|
|
\q they broke them with axes and hammers.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 7 They set your sanctuary on fire;

\q they desecrated where you live, knocking it
|
|
to the ground.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 8 They said in their hearts, "We will destroy them all."
|
|
\q They burned up all of your meeting places in the land.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 9 We do not see any more signs;
|
|
\q there is no prophet any more,
|
|
\q and no one among us knows how long this will last.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 10 How long, God, will the enemy throw insults at you?
|
|
\q Will the enemy blaspheme your name forever?
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 11 Why do you hold back your hand, your right hand?
|
|
\q Take your right hand from your garment and destroy them.
|
|
\b

\s5
|

\q
|
|
\v 12 Yet God has been my king from ancient times,
|
|
\q bringing salvation on the earth.
|
|
\q
|

|
|
\q you smashed the heads of the sea monsters in the waters.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 14 You crushed the heads of leviathan;
|
|
\q you fed him to those living in the wilderness.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 15 You broke open springs and streams;
|
|
\q you dried up flowing rivers.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 16 The day is yours, and the night is yours also;
|
|
\q you set the sun and moon in place.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 17 You have set all the borders of the earth;
|
|
\q you have made summer and winter.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 18 Call to mind how the enemy hurled insults at you, Yahweh,
|
|
\q and that a foolish people has blasphemed your name.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 19 Do not hand over the life of your dove to a wild animal.
|
|
\q Do not forget the life of your oppressed people forever.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 20 Remember your covenant,
|
|
\q for the dark regions of the land are full of places of violence.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 21 Do not let the oppressed be turned back in shame;
|
|
\q let the poor and oppressed praise your name.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 22 Arise, God; defend your own honor;
|
|
\q call to mind how fools insult you all day long.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 23 Do not forget the voice of your adversaries
|
|
\q or the uproar of those who continually defy you.
