Why have you thrown us off?
God, why have you cast us off forever? Why does your anger smoke against the sheep of your pasture? Remember the assembly you purchased long ago, the tribe of your inheritance that you redeemed — this Mount Zion where you've lived. Lift up your feet to the everlasting ruins, everything the enemy has done wickedly in the sanctuary. Your enemies roar in your meeting places; they set up their own signs as banners. A man was known for lifting axes on the thick trees. But now they smash all its carved work at once with hatchets and hammers. They've set your sanctuary on fire. They've knocked down where your name lives, to the ground. They said in their heart: Let's destroy all of them together. They've burnt all the meeting places of God in the land. We don't see our signs any more. There's no prophet left, and none of us knows how long. God, how long will the enemy insult you? Will the enemy sneer at your name forever? Why do you hold back your right hand? Take it out and act.

Remember the gathering you bought long ago, the tribe of your inheritance that you bought back — this Mount Zion where you've lived.

We don't see our signs any more. There's no prophet left, and none of us knows how long. God, how long will the one against you insult? Will the enemy sneer at your name forever? Why do you pull your hand back, your right hand? Take it out of your chest.
O God, why hast thou cast us off for ever? why doth thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture? Remember thy congregation, which thou hast purchased of old; the rod of thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed; this mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt. Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual desolations; even all that the enemy hath done wickedly in the sanctuary. Thine enemies roar in the midst of thy congregations; they set up their ensigns for signs. A man was famous according as he had lifted up axes upon the thick trees. But now they break down the carved work thereof at once with axes and hammers. They have cast fire into thy sanctuary, they have defiled by casting down the dwelling place of thy name to the ground. They said in their hearts, Let us destroy them together: they have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land. We see not our signs: there is no more any prophet: neither is there among us any that knoweth how long. O God, how long shall the adversary reproach? shall the enemy blaspheme thy name for ever? Why withdrawest thou thy hand, even thy right hand? pluck it out of thy bosom.

God is my King from long ago
God has been my King from ancient times, bringing salvation on the earth. You split the sea by your strength and smashed the heads of the sea monsters in the water. You smashed the heads of Leviathan and gave him as food to the people living in the wilderness. You split open the spring and the stream. You dried up mighty rivers. The day is yours and the night is yours. You've established the light and the sun. You've set all the boundaries of the earth. You've made summer and winter. Remember this: the enemy has reproached you, LORD, and a foolish people have blasphemed your name. Don't hand the soul of your dove over to the crowd of the wicked. Don't forget the assembly of your poor forever. Have a look at the covenant, because the dark places of the earth are full of the homes of cruelty. Don't let the oppressed turn back ashamed. Let the poor and needy praise your name. Arise, God, and plead your own cause. Remember how the fool reproaches you all day long. Don't forget the voice of your enemies. The racket of those who rise up against you goes up all the time.

The racket of the ones who get up against you goes up all the time.
For God is my King of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth. Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength: thou brakest the heads of the dragons in the waters. Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces, and gavest him to be meat to the people inhabiting the wilderness. Thou didst cleave the fountain and the flood: thou driedst up mighty rivers. The day is thine, the night also is thine: thou hast prepared the light and the sun. Thou hast set all the borders of the earth: thou hast made summer and winter. Remember this, that the enemy hath reproached, O LORD, and that the foolish people have blasphemed thy name. O deliver not the soul of thy turtledove unto the multitude of the wicked: forget not the congregation of thy poor for ever. Have respect unto the covenant: for the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of cruelty. O let not the oppressed return ashamed: let the poor and needy praise thy name. Arise, O God, plead thine own cause: remember how the foolish man reproacheth thee daily. Forget not the voice of thine enemies: the tumult of those that rise up against thee increaseth continually.
