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