1 Maschil * h4905 h8688 of Asaph * h623. O God * h430, why hast thou cast us off * h2186 h8804 for ever * h5331? why doth thine anger * h639 smoke * h6225 h8799 against the sheep * h6629 of thy pasture * h4830? Maschil...: or, A Psalm for Asaph to give instruction
2 Remember * h2142 h8798 thy congregation * h5712, which thou hast purchased * h7069 h8804 of old * h6924; the rod * h7626 of thine inheritance * h5159, which thou hast redeemed * h1350 h8804; this mount * h2022 Zion * h6726, wherein thou hast dwelt * h7931 h8804. rod: or, tribe
3 Lift up * h7311 h8685 thy feet * h6471 unto the perpetual * h5331 desolations * h4876; even all that the enemy * h341 h8802 hath done wickedly * h7489 h8689 in the sanctuary * h6944.
4 Thine enemies * h6887 h8802 roar * h7580 h8804 in the midst * h7130 of thy congregations * h4150; they set up * h7760 h8804 their ensigns * h226 for signs * h226.
5 A man was famous * h3045 h8735 according as he had lifted up * h935 h8688 * h4605 axes * h7134 upon the thick * h5442 trees * h6086.
6 But now they break down * h1986 h8799 the carved work * h6603 thereof at once * h3162 with axes * h3781 and hammers * h3597.
7 They have cast * h7971 h8765 fire * h784 into thy sanctuary * h4720, they have defiled * h2490 h8765 by casting down the dwelling place * h4908 of thy name * h8034 to the ground * h776. They have cast...: Heb. They have sent thy sanctuary unto the fire
8 They said * h559 h8804 in their hearts * h3820, Let us destroy * h3238 h8799 them together * h3162: they have burned up * h8313 h8804 all the synagogues * h4150 of God * h410 in the land * h776. destroy: Heb. break
9 We see * h7200 h8804 not our signs * h226: there is no more any prophet * h5030: neither is there among us any that knoweth * h3045 h8802 how long * h5704.
10 O God * h430, how long shall the adversary * h6862 reproach * h2778 h8762? shall the enemy * h341 h8802 blaspheme * h5006 h8762 thy name * h8034 for ever * h5331?
11 Why withdrawest * h7725 h8686 thou thy hand * h3027, even thy right hand * h3225? pluck * h3615 h8761 it out of * h7130 thy bosom * h2436 h8675 * h2436.
12 For God * h430 is my King * h4428 of old * h6924, working * h6466 h8802 salvation * h3444 in the midst * h7130 of the earth * h776.
13 Thou didst divide * h6565 h8782 the sea * h3220 by thy strength * h5797: thou brakest * h7665 h8765 the heads * h7218 of the dragons * h8577 in the waters * h4325. divide: Heb. break dragons: or, whales
14 Thou brakest * h7533 h8765 the heads * h7218 of leviathan * h3882 in pieces, and gavest * h5414 h8799 him to be meat * h3978 to the people * h5971 inhabiting the wilderness * h6728.
15 Thou didst cleave * h1234 h8804 the fountain * h4599 and the flood * h5158: thou driedst up * h3001 h8689 mighty * h386 rivers * h5104. mighty...: Heb. rivers of strength
16 The day * h3117 is thine, the night * h3915 also is thine: thou hast prepared * h3559 h8689 the light * h3974 and the sun * h8121.
17 Thou hast set * h5324 h8689 all the borders * h1367 of the earth * h776: thou hast made * h3335 h8804 summer * h7019 and winter * h2779. made: Heb. made them
18 Remember * h2142 h8798 this, that the enemy * h341 h8802 hath reproached * h2778 h8765, O LORD * h3068, and that the foolish * h5036 people * h5971 have blasphemed * h5006 h8765 thy name * h8034.
19 O deliver * h5414 h8799 not the soul * h5315 of thy turtledove * h8449 unto the multitude * h2416 of the wicked : forget * h7911 h8799 not the congregation * h2416 of thy poor * h6041 for ever * h5331.
20 Have respect * h5027 h8685 unto the covenant * h1285: for the dark * h4285 places of the earth * h776 are full * h4390 h8804 of the habitations * h4999 of cruelty * h2555.
21 O let not the oppressed * h1790 return * h7725 h8799 ashamed * h3637 h8737: let the poor * h6041 and needy * h34 praise * h1984 h8762 thy name * h8034.
22 Arise * h6965 h8798, O God * h430, plead * h7378 h8798 thine own cause * h7379: remember * h2142 h8798 how the foolish man * h5036 reproacheth * h2781 thee daily * h3117.
23 Forget * h7911 h8799 not the voice * h6963 of thine enemies * h6887 h8802: the tumult * h7588 of those that rise up * h6965 h8801 against thee increaseth * h5927 h8802 continually * h8548. increaseth: Heb. ascendeth
