* O God , why hast thou cast us off for ever ? why doth thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture ? * 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 . * Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual desolations ; even all that the enemy hath done wickedly in the sanctuary . * Thine enemies roar in the midst of thy congregations ; they set up their ensigns for signs . * A man was famous according as he had lifted up axes upon the thick trees . * But now they break down the carved work thereof at once with axes and hammers . * They have cast fire into thy sanctuary , they have defiled by casting down the dwelling place of thy name to the ground . * They said in their hearts , Let us destroy them together : they have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land . * We see not our signs : there is no more any prophet : neither is there among us any that knoweth how long . * O God , how long shall the adversary reproach ? shall the enemy blaspheme thy name for ever ? * Why withdrawest thou thy hand , even thy right hand ? pluck it out of thy bosom . * For God is my King of old , working salvation in the midst of the earth . * Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength : thou brakest the heads of the dragons in the waters . * Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces , and gavest him to be meat to the people inhabiting the wilderness . * Thou didst cleave the fountain and the flood : thou driedst up mighty rivers . * The day is thine , the night also is thine : thou hast prepared the light and the sun . * Thou hast set all the borders of the earth : thou hast made summer and winter . * Remember this , that the enemy hath reproached , O LORD , and that the foolish people have blasphemed thy name . * O deliver not the soul of thy turtledove unto the multitude of the wicked : forget not the congregation of thy poor for ever . * Have respect unto the covenant : for the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of cruelty . * O let not the oppressed return ashamed : let the poor and needy praise thy name . * Arise , O God , plead thine own cause : remember how the foolish man reproacheth thee daily . * Forget not the voice of thine enemies : the tumult of those that rise up against thee increaseth continually . * Unto thee , O God , do we give thanks , unto thee do we give thanks : for that thy name is near thy wondrous works declare . * When I shall receive the congregation I will judge uprightly . * The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved : I bear up the pillars of it . Selah . * I said unto the fools , Deal not foolishly : and to the wicked , Lift not up the horn : * Lift not up your horn on high : speak not with a stiff neck . * For promotion cometh neither from the east , nor from the west , nor from the south . * But God is the judge : he putteth down one , and setteth up another . * For in the hand of the LORD there is a cup , and the wine is red ; it is full of mixture ; and he poureth out of the same : but the dregs thereof , all the wicked of the earth shall wring them out , and drink them . * But I will declare for ever ; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob . * All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off ; but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted . * In Judah is God known : his name is great in Israel . * In Salem also is his tabernacle , and his dwelling place in Zion . * There brake he the arrows of the bow , the shield , and the sword , and the battle . Selah . * Thou art more glorious and excellent than the mountains of prey . * The stouthearted are spoiled , they have slept their sleep : and none of the men of might have found their hands . * At thy rebuke , O God of Jacob , both the chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep . * Thou , even thou , art to be feared : and who may stand in thy sight when once thou art angry ? * Thou didst cause judgment to be heard from heaven ; the earth feared , and was still , * When God arose to judgment , to save all the meek of the earth . Selah . * Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee : the remainder of wrath shalt thou restrain . * Vow , and pay unto the LORD your God : let all that be round about him bring presents unto him that ought to be feared . * He shall cut off the spirit of princes : he is terrible to the kings of the earth . * I cried unto God with my voice , even unto God with my voice ; and he gave ear unto me . * In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord : my sore ran in the night , and ceased not : my soul refused to be comforted . * I remembered God , and was troubled : I complained , and my spirit was overwhelmed . Selah . * Thou holdest mine eyes waking : I am so troubled that I cannot speak . * I have considered the days of old , the years of ancient times . * I call to remembrance my song in the night : I commune with mine own heart : and my spirit made diligent search . * Will the Lord cast off for ever ? and will he be favourable no more ? * Is his mercy clean gone for ever ? doth his promise fail for evermore ? * Hath God forgotten to be gracious ? hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies ? Selah . * And I said , This is my infirmity : but I will remember the years of the right hand of the most High . * I will remember the works of the LORD : surely I will remember thy wonders of old . * I will meditate also of all thy work , and talk of thy doings . * Thy way , O God , is in the sanctuary : who is so great a God as our God ? * Thou art the God that doest wonders : thou hast declared thy strength among the people . * Thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy people , the sons of Jacob and Joseph . Selah . * The waters saw thee , O God , the waters saw thee ; they were afraid : the depths also were troubled . * The clouds poured out water : the skies sent out a sound : thine arrows also went abroad . * The voice of thy thunder was in the heaven : the lightnings lightened the world : the earth trembled and shook . * Thy way is in the sea , and thy path in the great waters , and thy footsteps are not known . * Thou leddest thy people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron . * Give ear , O my people , to my law : incline your ears to the words of my mouth .
