1 O God, why have You cast us off forever?Why does Your anger smoke against the sheep of Your pasture?
2 Remember Your congregation, which You have purchased of old,The tribe of Your inheritance, which You have redeemed—This Mount Zion where You have dwelt.
3 Lift up Your feet to the perpetual desolations.The enemy has damaged everything in the sanctuary.
4 Your enemies roar in the midst of Your meeting place;They set up their banners for signs.
5 They seem like men who lift upAxes among the thick trees.
