American Standard Version (ASV) With Strong Codes

1. Maschil of Asaph. O God[H430], why hast thou cast us off[H2186] for ever[H5331]? Why doth thine anger[H639] smoke[H6225] against the sheep[H6629] of thy pasture[H4830]?

2. Remember[H2142] thy congregation[H5712], which thou hast gotten[H7069] of old[H6924], Which[H7626] thou hast redeemed[H1350] to be the tribe of thine inheritance[H5159]; And mount[H2022] Zion[H6726], wherein thou hast dwelt[H7931].

3. Lift up[H7311] thy feet[H6471] unto the perpetual[H5331] ruins[H4876], All the evil[H7489] that the enemy[H341] hath done in the sanctuary[H6944].

4. Thine adversaries[H6887] have roared[H7580] in the midst[H7130] of thine assembly[H4150]; They have set up[H7760] their ensigns[H226] for signs[H226].

5. They seemed[H3045] as men that lifted up[H935] Axes[H7134] upon a thicket[H5442] of trees[H6086].

6. And now[H3162] all the carved work[H6603] thereof They break down[H1986] with hatchet[H3781] and hammers[H3597].

7. They have set[H7971] thy sanctuary[H4720] on fire[H784]; They have profaned[H2490] the dwelling-place[H4908] of thy name[H8034] by casting it to the ground[H776].

8. They said[H559] in their heart[H3820], Let us make havoc[H3238] of them altogether[H3162]: They have burned up[H8313] all the synagogues[H4150] of God[H410] in the land[H776].

9. We see[H7200] not our signs[H226]: There is no more any prophet[H5030]; Neither is there among us any that knoweth[H3045] how long[H5704].

10. How long[H430], O God, shall the adversary[H6862] reproach[H2778]? Shall the enemy[H341] blaspheme[H5006] thy name[H8034] for ever[H5331]?

11. Why drawest[H7725] thou back thy hand[H3027], even thy right hand[H3027]? Pluck[H3615] it out of[H7130] thy bosom and consume them[H2436].

12. Yet God[H430] is my King[H4428] of old[H6924], Working[H6466] salvation[H3444] in the midst[H7130] of the earth[H776].

13. Thou didst divide[H6565] the sea[H3220] by thy strength[H5797]: Thou brakest[H7665] the heads[H7218] of the sea-monsters[H8577] in the waters[H4325].

14. Thou brakest[H7533] the heads[H7218] of leviathan[H3882] in pieces[H5414]; Thou gavest him to be food[H3978] to the people[H5971] inhabiting the wilderness[H6728].

15. Thou didst cleave[H1234] fountain[H4599] and flood[H5158]: Thou driedst up[H3001] mighty[H386] rivers[H5104].

16. The day[H3117] is thine[H3915], the night also is thine[H3559]: Thou hast prepared the light[H3974] and the sun[H8121].

17. Thou hast set[H5324] all the borders[H1367] of the earth[H776]: Thou hast made[H3335] summer[H7019] and winter[H2779].

18. Remember[H2142] this[H341], that the enemy hath reproached[H2778], O Jehovah[H3068], And that a foolish[H5036] people[H5971] hath blasphemed[H5006] thy name[H8034].

19. Oh deliver[H5414] not the soul[H5315] of thy turtle-dove[H8449] unto the wild beast[H2416]: Forget[H7911] not the life[H2416] of thy poor[H6041] for ever[H5331].

20. Have respect[H5027] unto the covenant[H1285]; For the dark[H4285] places of the earth[H776] are full[H4390] of the habitations[H4999] of violence[H2555].

21. Oh let not the oppressed[H1790] return[H7725] ashamed[H3637]: Let the poor[H6041] and needy[H34] praise[H1984] thy name[H8034].

22. Arise[H6965], O God[H430], plead[H7378] thine own cause[H7379]: Remember[H2142] how the foolish man[H5036] reproacheth[H2781] thee all the day[H3117].

23. Forget[H7911] not the voice[H6963] of thine adversaries[H6887]: The tumult[H7588] of those that rise up[H6965] against thee ascendeth[H5927] continually[H8548].
