1Unto the end, corrupt not, a psalm of a canticle for Asaph.
1 O God, why hast thou cast us off for ever? Why doth thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture?
2We will praise thee, O God: we will praise, and we will call upon thy name. We will relate thy wondrous works:
2Remember thy congregation, which thou hast gotten of old, Which thou hast redeemed to be the tribe of thine inheritance; Andmount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt.
3When I shall take a time, I will judge justices.
3Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual ruins, All the evil that the enemy hath done in the sanctuary.
4The earth is melted, and all that dwell therein: I have established the pillars thereof.
4Thine adversaries have roared in the midst of thine assembly; They have set up their ensigns for signs.
5I said to the wicked: Do not act wickedly: and to the sinners: Lift not up the horn.
5They seemed as men that lifted up Axes upon a thicket of trees.
6Lift not up your horn on high: speak not iniquity against God.
6And now all the carved work thereof They break down with hatchet and hammers.
7For neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the desert hills:
7They have set thy sanctuary on fire; They have profaned the dwelling-place of thy name by casting it to the ground.
8For God is the judge. One he putteth down, and another he lifteth up:
8They said in their heart, Let us make havoc of them altogether: They have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land.
9For in the hand of the Lord there is a cup of strong wine full of mixture. And he hath poured it out from this to that: but the dregs thereof are not emptied: all the sinners of the earth shall drink.
9We see not our signs: There is no more any prophet; Neither is there among us any that knoweth how long.
10But I will declare for ever: I will sing to the God of Jacob.
10How long, O God, shall the adversary reproach? Shall the enemy blaspheme thy name for ever?
11And I will break all the horns of sinners: but the horns of the just shall be exalted.
11Why drawest thou back thy hand, even thy right hand? Pluck itout of thy bosom and consume them.
12(not in this translation)
12 Yet God is my King of old, Working salvation in the midst of the earth.
13(not in this translation)
13Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength: Thou brakest the heads of the sea-monsters in the waters.
14(not in this translation)
14Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces; Thou gavest him to be food to the people inhabiting the wilderness.
16(not in this translation)
16The day is thine, the night also is thine: Thou hast prepared the light and the sun.
17(not in this translation)
17Thou hast set all the borders of the earth: Thou hast made summer and winter.
18(not in this translation)
18Remember this, that the enemy hath reproached, O Jehovah, And that a foolish people hath blasphemed thy name.
19(not in this translation)
19Oh deliver not the soul of thy turtle-dove unto the wild beast: Forget not the life of thy poor for ever.
20(not in this translation)
20Have respect unto the covenant; For the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of violence.
21(not in this translation)
21Oh let not the oppressed return ashamed: Let the poor and needy praise thy name.
