1. 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 purchased of old; the rod of thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed; this mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt.
|
3. Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual desolations; even all that the enemy hath done wickedly in the sanctuary.
|
7. They have cast fire into thy sanctuary, they have defiled by casting down the dwelling place of thy name to the ground.
|
8. They said in their hearts, Let us destroy them together: 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.
|
14. Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces, and gavest him to be meat to the people inhabiting the wilderness.
|
18. Remember this, that the enemy hath reproached, O LORD, and that the foolish people have blasphemed thy name.
|
19. O deliver not the soul of thy turtledove unto the multitude of the wicked: forget not the congregation of thy poor for ever.
|
20. Have respect unto the covenant: for the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of cruelty.
|
23. Forget not the voice of thine enemies: the tumult of those that rise up against thee increaseth continually.
