1 O God, why hast thou cast us off for ever? why doth thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture?
3 Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual desolations; even all that the enemy hath done wickedly in the sanctuary.
4 Thine enemies roar in the midst of thy congregations; they set up their ensigns for signs.
5 A man was famous according as he had lifted up axes upon the thick trees.
6 But now they break down the carved work thereof at once with axes and hammers.
7 They have cast fire into thy sanctuary, they have defiled by casting down the dwelling place of thy name to the ground.
10 O God, how long shall the adversary reproach? shall the enemy blaspheme thy name for ever?
16 The day is thine, the night also is thine: thou hast prepared the light and the sun.
