1 God, why have you rejected us forever?Why does your anger smolder against the sheep of your pasture?
2 Remember 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.
3 Lift up your feet to the perpetual ruins,all the evil that the enemy has done in the sanctuary.
4 Your adversaries have roared in the middle of your assembly.They have set up their standards as signs.
5 They behaved like men wielding axes,cutting through a thicket of trees.
