1For the end, Destroy not, a Psalm of a Song for Asaph.
1O God, why hast thou cast us off for ever? why doth thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture?
2We will give thanks to thee, O God, we will give thanks, and call upon thy name: I will declare all thy wonderful works.
2Remember thy congregation, which thou hast purchased of old; the rod of thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed; this mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt.
3When I shall take a set time, I will judge righteously.
3Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual desolations; even all that the enemy hath done wickedly in the sanctuary.
4The earth is dissolved, and all that dwell in it: I have strengthened its pillars. Pause.
4Thine enemies roar in the midst of thy congregations; they set up their ensigns for signs.
5I said unto the transgressors, Do not transgress; and to the sinners, Lift not up the horn.
5A man was famous according as he had lifted up axes upon the thick trees.
6Lift not up your horn on high; speak not unrighteousness against God.
6But now they break down the carved work thereof at once with axes and hammers.
7For [good comes] neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the desert mountains.
7They have cast fire into thy sanctuary, they have defiled by casting down the dwelling place of thy name to the ground.
8For God is the judge; he puts down one, and raises up another.
8They said in their hearts, Let us destroy them together: they have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land.
9For [there is] a cup in the hand of the Lord, full of unmingled wine; and he has turned [it] from side to side, but its dregs have not been wholly poured out; all the sinners of the earth shall drink [them].
9We see not our signs: there is no more any prophet: neither is there among us any that knoweth how long.
10But I will exult for ever: I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
10O God, how long 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 righteous one shall be exalted.
11Why withdrawest thou thy hand, even thy right hand? pluck it out of thy bosom.
