1 [An Instructive Psalm. Asaph’s.]
Wherefore, O God, hast thou cast off utterly? Shall thine anger smoke against the flock of thine own pasturing? 2 Remember thine own assembly thou didst acquire aforetime, Thou didst redeem the tribe of thine own inheritance, Mount Zion, wherein thou didst take up thy habitation. 3 Lift up thy steps unto the places utterly unsafe, All the mischief!––the foe in the sanctuary! 4 Thine adversaries have roared in the midst of thine appointed meeting, They have set their ensigns as tokens! 5 One used to be known according as he carried up high––into the thicket of trees––the axes; 6 But, now, the doors thereof all together, with axes and hammers, they batter down. 7 They have cast, into the fire, thy sanctuary, To the ground, have they profaned the habitation of thy Name. 8 They have said in their heart, Let us suppress them altogether, They have burned up all the meeting–places of GOD in the land. 9 Our own signs, have we not seen,––There is no longer a prophet,––Neither is there with us, one who knoweth––How long! 10 How long, O God, shall the adversary, reproach? Shall the enemy revile thy Name perpetually?
