1(75) For the end, Destroy not, a Psalm of a Song for Asaph. We will give thanks to you, O God, we will give thanks, and call upon your name: I will declare all your wonderful works.
1O God, why hast thou cast us off for ever? why doth thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture?
2When I shall take a set time, I will judge righteously.
2Remember thy congregation, which thou hast purchased of old; the rod of thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed; this mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt.
3The earth is dissolved, and all that dwell in it: I have strengthened its pillars. Pause.
3Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual desolations; even all that the enemy hath done wickedly in the sanctuary.
4I said to the transgressors, Do not transgress; and to the sinners, Lift not up the horn.
4Thine enemies roar in the midst of thy congregations; they set up their ensigns for signs.
5Lift not up your horn on high; speak not unrighteousness against God.
5A man was famous according as he had lifted up axes upon the thick trees.
6For [good comes] neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the desert mountains.
6But now they break down the carved work thereof at once with axes and hammers.
7For God is the judge; he puts down one, and raises up another.
7They have cast fire into thy sanctuary, they have defiled by casting down the dwelling place of thy name to the ground.
8For [there is] a cup in the hand of the Lord, full of unmingled wine; and he has turned [it] from side to side, but its dregs have not been wholly poured out; all the sinners of the earth shall drink [them].
8They said in their hearts, Let us destroy them together: they have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land.
9But I will exult for ever: I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
9We see not our signs: there is no more any prophet: neither is there among us any that knoweth how long.
10And I will break all the horns of sinners; but the horns of the righteous one shall be exalted.
10O God, how long shall the adversary reproach? shall the enemy blaspheme thy name for ever?
