1O God, why hast thou cast us off for ever?
2Remember thy congregation, which thou hast purchased of old;
3Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual desolations;
4Thine enemies roar in the midst of thy congregations;
5A man was famous according as he had lifted up
6But now they break down the carved work thereof
7They have cast fire into thy sanctuary,
8They said in their hearts, Let us destroy them together:
9We see not our signs:
10O God, how long shall the adversary reproach?
11Why withdrawest thou thy hand, even thy right hand?
12For God is my King of old,
13Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength:
14Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces,
15Thou didst cleave the fountain and the flood:
16The day is thine, the night also is thine:
17Thou hast set all the borders of the earth:
18Remember this, that the enemy hath reproached, O Lord,
19O deliver not the soul of thy turtledove unto the multitude of the wicked:
20Have respect unto the covenant:
21O let not the oppressed return ashamed:
22Arise, O God, plead thine own cause:
23Forget not the voice of thine enemies:
