| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1A Maskil of Asaph. O God, why have You rejected us 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 inheritance; And this Mount Zion, where You have dwelt. |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3Turn Your footsteps toward the perpetual ruins; The enemy has damaged everything within the sanctuary. |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4Your adversaries have roared in the midst of Your meeting place; They have set up their own standards for signs. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5It seems as if one had lifted up His axe in a forest of trees. |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6And now all its carved work They smash with hatchet and hammers. |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7They have burned Your sanctuary to the ground; They have defiled the dwelling place of Your name. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8They said in their heart, "Let us completely subdue them." They have 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, Nor is there any among us who knows how long. |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10How long, O God, will the adversary revile, And the enemy spurn Your name forever? |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11Why do You withdraw Your hand, even Your right hand? From within Your bosom, destroy them! |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12Yet God is my king from of old, Who works deeds of deliverance in the midst of the earth. |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13You divided the sea by Your strength; You broke the heads of the sea monsters in 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 broke open springs and torrents; You dried up ever-flowing streams. |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16Yours is the day, Yours also is the night; You have prepared the light and the sun. |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17You have established all the boundaries of the earth; You have made summer and winter. |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18Remember this, O LORD, that the enemy has reviled, And a foolish people has spurned Your name. |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19Do not deliver the soul of Your turtledove to the wild beast; Do not forget the life of Your afflicted forever. |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20Consider 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 oppressed return dishonored; Let the afflicted and needy praise Your name. |
| 22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22Arise, O God, and plead Your own cause; Remember how the foolish man reproaches You all day long. |
| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23Do not forget the voice of Your adversaries, The uproar of those who rise against You which ascends continually. |
