- O God, why have you rejected us so long? Why is your anger so intense against the sheep of your own pasture?
- Remember that we are the people you chose long ago, the tribe you redeemed as your own special possession! And remember Jerusalem,[2] your home here on earth.
- Walk through the awful ruins of the city; see how the enemy has destroyed your sanctuary.
- There your enemies shouted their victorious battle cries; there they set up their battle standards.
- They swung their axes like woodcutters in a forest.
- With axes and picks, they smashed the carved paneling.
- They burned your sanctuary to the ground. They defiled the place that bears your name.
- Then they thought, "Let's destroy everything!" So they burned down all the places where God was worshiped.
- We no longer see your miraculous signs. All the prophets are gone, and no one can tell us when it will end.
- How long, O God, will you allow our enemies to insult you? Will you let them dishonor your name forever?
- Why do you hold back your strong right hand? Unleash your powerful fist and destroy them.
- You, O God, are my king from ages past, bringing salvation to the earth.
- You split the sea by your strength and smashed the heads of the sea monsters.
- You crushed the heads of Leviathan[3] and let the desert animals eat him.
- You caused the springs and streams to gush forth, and you dried up rivers that never run dry.
- Both day and night belong to you; you made the starlight[4] and the sun.
- You set the boundaries of the earth, and you made both summer and winter.
- See how these enemies insult you, Lord. A foolish nation has dishonored your name.
- Don't let these wild beasts destroy your turtledoves. Don't forget your suffering people forever.
- Remember your covenant promises, for the land is full of darkness and violence!
- Don't let the downtrodden be humiliated again. Instead, let the poor and needy praise your name.
- Arise, O God, and defend your cause. Remember how these fools insult you all day long.
- Don't overlook what your enemies have said or their growing uproar.
