## Yet God Is My King
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 1
|
||
|
|
Why, O God? Have You rejected _us_ forever? Why does Your anger smoke against the sheep of Your pasture?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 2
|
||
|
|
Remember Your congregation, which You have purchased of old, Which You have redeemed to be the tribe of Your inheritance; _And_ this Mount Zion, where You have dwelt.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 3
|
||
|
|
Lift up Your steps toward the perpetual ruins; The enemy has damaged everything within the sanctuary.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 4
|
||
|
|
Your adversaries have roared in the midst of Your meeting place; They have set up their own signs for signs.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 5
|
||
|
|
Each seems like one who lifts up An axe against the undergrowth of trees.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 6
|
||
|
|
And now its carved work altogether They smash with hatchet and hammers.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 7
|
||
|
|
They have set Your sanctuary on fire; _By bringing it_ to the ground, they have defiled the dwelling place of Your name.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 8
|
||
|
|
They said in their heart, "Let us completely subdue them." They have burned all the meeting places of God in the land.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 9
|
||
|
|
We do not see our signs; There is no longer any prophet, Nor is there any among us who knows how long.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 10
|
||
|
|
How long, O God, will the adversary reproach? Will the enemy spurn Your name forever?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 11
|
||
|
|
Why do You turn back Your hand, even Your right hand? From within Your bosom, destroy _them_!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 12
|
||
|
|
Yet God is my King from of old, Who works deeds of salvation in the midst of the earth.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 13
|
||
|
|
You divided the sea by Your strength; You broke the heads of the sea monsters in the waters.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 14
|
||
|
|
You crushed the heads of Leviathan; You gave him as food for the creatures of the desert.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 15
|
||
|
|
You split open spring and river; You dried up ever-flowing rivers.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 16
|
||
|
|
Yours is the day, Yours also is the night; You have established the light and the sun.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 17
|
||
|
|
You have caused all the boundaries of the earth to stand firm; You have formed summer and winter.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 18
|
||
|
|
Remember this, O Yahweh, that the enemy has reproached, And a wickedly foolish people has spurned Your name.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 19
|
||
|
|
Do not deliver the soul of Your turtledove to the wild beast; Do not forget the life of Your afflicted forever.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 20
|
||
|
|
Look to the covenant; For the dark places of the land are full of the haunts of violence.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 21
|
||
|
|
Let not the oppressed return dishonored; Let the afflicted and needy praise Your name.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 22
|
||
|
|
Arise, O God, _and_ plead Your own cause; Remember how the wicked fool reproaches You all day long.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 23
|
||
|
|
Do not forget the voice of Your adversaries, The rumbling of those who rise against You which ascends continually.
