ASV(i)
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 gotten 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
They break down with hatchet and hammers. 7 They have set thy sanctuary on fire;
They have profaned the dwelling-place of thy name [by casting it] to the ground. 8 They said in their heart, Let us make havoc of them altogether:
They have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land. 9 We see not our signs:
There is no more any prophet;
Neither is there among us any that knoweth how long. 10 How long, O God, shall the adversary reproach?
Shall the enemy blaspheme thy name for ever?
