1	Maschil# of Asaph. O God, why hast thou cast us off# for ever? why doth thine anger smoke# against the sheep of thy pasture? [Maschil...: or, A Psalm for Asaph to give instruction]
			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# . [rod: or, tribe]
			3	Lift up# thy feet unto the perpetual desolations; even all that the enemy# hath done wickedly# in the sanctuary.
			4	Thine enemies# roar# in the midst of thy congregations; they set up# their ensigns for signs.
			5	A man was famous# according as he had lifted up# # axes upon the thick trees.
			6	But now they break down# the carved work thereof at once with axes and hammers.
			7	They have cast# fire into thy sanctuary, they have defiled# by casting down the dwelling place of thy name to the ground. [They have cast...: Heb. They have sent thy sanctuary unto the fire]
			8	They said# in their hearts, Let us destroy# them together: they have burned up# all the synagogues of God in the land. [destroy: Heb. break]
			9	We see# not our signs: there is no more any prophet: neither is there among us any that knoweth# how long.
			10	O God, how long shall the adversary reproach# ? shall the enemy# blaspheme# thy name for ever?
			11	Why withdrawest# thou thy hand, even thy right hand? pluck# it out of thy bosom# # .
			12	For God is my King of old, working# salvation in the midst of the earth.
			13	Thou didst divide# the sea by thy strength: thou brakest# the heads of the dragons in the waters. [divide: Heb. break] [dragons: or, whales]
			14	Thou brakest# the heads of leviathan in pieces, and gavest# him to be meat to the people inhabiting the wilderness.
			15	Thou didst cleave# the fountain and the flood: thou driedst up# mighty rivers. [mighty...: Heb. rivers of strength]
			16	The day is thine, the night also is thine: thou hast prepared# the light and the sun.
			17	Thou hast set# all the borders of the earth: thou hast made# summer and winter. [made: Heb. made them]
			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.
			21	O let not the oppressed return# ashamed# : let the poor and needy praise# thy name.
			22	Arise# , O God, plead# thine own cause: remember# how the foolish man reproacheth thee daily.
			23	Forget# not the voice of thine enemies# : the tumult of those that rise up# against thee increaseth# continually. [increaseth: Heb. ascendeth]
