O God have you rejected [us] to perpetuity does it smoke? anger your on [the] sheep of pasture your. 2 Remember congregation your - [which] you acquired antiquity [which] you redeemed [the] tribe of inheritance your [the] mountain of Zion which - you have dwelt on it. 3 Lift up! footsteps your to [the] ruins of perpetuity everything he has done harm to [the] enemy in the sanctuary. 4 They roared opposers your in [the] midst of appointed place your they set up signs their signs. 5 It was known like [one who] brings upwards in a thicket of tree[s] axes. 6 (And now *QK) engravings its altogether with axe[s] and crowbars they struck! 7 They sent in fire sanctuary your to the ground they profaned [the] dwelling place of name your. 8 They said in heart their let us oppress them altogether they burned all [the] appointed places of God in the land. 9 Signs our not we have seen there not still [is] a prophet and not [is] with us [one who] knows until when? 10 Until when? O God will he taunt [the] opponent will he spurn? [the] enemy name your to perpetuity. 11 Why? do you draw back hand your and right [hand] your from [the] midst of (bosom your *QK) destroy. 12 And God [has been] king my from antiquity [who] does salvation in [the] midst of the earth. 13 You you divided by strength your [the] sea you shattered [the] heads of sea monsters on the waters. 14 You you crushed [the] heads of Leviathan you gave it food to a people to desert-dwellers. 15 You you broke open a spring and a torrent you you dried up rivers of ever-flowing. 16 [belongs] to You day also [belongs] to you night you you prepared a luminary and [the] sun. 17 You you established all [the] boundaries of [the] earth summer and winter you you formed them. 18 Remember this [the] enemy he taunted - O Yahweh and a people foolish they spurned name your. 19 May not you give to an animal [the] life of turtle-dove your [the] life of poor [people] your may not you forget to perpetuity. 20 Pay attention to the covenant for they are full [the] dark places of [the] land settlements of violence. 21 May not he return [the] oppressed humiliated [the] poor and [the] needy may they praise name your. 22 Arise! O God conduct! case your remember reproach your from a fool all the day. 23 May not you forget [the] sound of opposers your [the] uproar of [those who] rise against you [which] goes up continually.
