1 Maschil of Asaph. O God, why hast thou cast us off for ever? why doth thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture? 2 Remember thy congregation, which thou hast purchased of old, which thou hast redeemed to be the tribe of thine inheritance; and mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt. 3 Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual ruins, all the evil that the enemy hath done in the sanctuary. 4 Thine adversaries have roared in the midst of thine assembly; they have set up their ensigns for signs. 5 They seemed as men that lifted up axes upon a thicket of trees. 6 And now all the carved work thereof together they break down with hatchet and hammers. 7 They have set thy sanctuary on fire; they have profaned the dwelling place of thy name even to the ground. Psalms 74:1-7, English Revised Version. Public domain.
