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.
1A contemplation by Asaph. God, why have you rejected us forever? Why does your anger smolder against the sheep of your pasture?
2When I shall take a set time, I will judge righteously.
2Remember your congregation, which you purchased of old, which you have redeemed to be the tribe of your inheritance: Mount Zion, in which you have lived.
3The earth is dissolved, and all that dwell in it: I have strengthened its pillars. Pause.
3Lift up your feet to the perpetual ruins, all the evil that the enemy has done in the sanctuary.
4I said to the transgressors, Do not transgress; and to the sinners, Lift not up the horn.
4Your adversaries have roared in the middle of your assembly. They have set up their standards as signs.
5Lift not up your horn on high; speak not unrighteousness against God.
5They behaved like men wielding axes, cutting through a thicket of trees.
6For [good comes] neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the desert mountains.
6Now they break all its carved work down with hatchet and hammers.
7For God is the judge; he puts down one, and raises up another.
7They have burned your sanctuary to the ground. They have profaned the dwelling place of your Name.
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 heart, “We will crush them completely.” They have burned up all the places in the land where God was worshiped.
9But I will exult for ever: I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
9We see no miraculous signs. There is no longer any prophet, neither is there among us anyone who knows how long.
10And I will break all the horns of sinners; but the horns of the righteous one shall be exalted.
10How long, God, shall the adversary reproach? Shall the enemy blaspheme your name forever?
