Why, God, have you cast us off forever?
Why does your anger burn against the sheep of your pasture?
Remember your people, whom you acquired of old
The tribe you redeemed as your own heritage
Mount Zion where you dwell
Direct your steps toward the utter destruction
Everything the enemy laid waste in the sanctuary
Your foes roared triumphantly in the place of your assembly
They set up their own tokens of victory
Thеy hacked away like a forestеr gathering boughs
Swinging his ax in a thicket of trees
They set your sanctuary on fire
Profaned your name’s abode
By razing it to the ground
(Chorus)
Yet you, God, are my king from of old
Winning victories throughout the earth
Yours is the day and yours is the night
You set the moon and sun in place
You fixed all the limits of the earth;
Summer and winter you made
You stirred up the sea by your might
You smashed the heads of the dragons on the waters
You crushed the heads of Leviathan
Gave him as food to the sharks
Arise, God, defend your cause;
Remember the constant jeering of the fools
Do not forget the clamor of your foes
The unceasing uproar of your enemies
Why does your anger burn against the sheep of your pasture?
Remember your people, whom you acquired of old
The tribe you redeemed as your own heritage
Mount Zion where you dwell
Direct your steps toward the utter destruction
Everything the enemy laid waste in the sanctuary
Your foes roared triumphantly in the place of your assembly
They set up their own tokens of victory
Thеy hacked away like a forestеr gathering boughs
Swinging his ax in a thicket of trees
They set your sanctuary on fire
Profaned your name’s abode
By razing it to the ground
(Chorus)
Yet you, God, are my king from of old
Winning victories throughout the earth
Yours is the day and yours is the night
You set the moon and sun in place
You fixed all the limits of the earth;
Summer and winter you made
You stirred up the sea by your might
You smashed the heads of the dragons on the waters
You crushed the heads of Leviathan
Gave him as food to the sharks
Arise, God, defend your cause;
Remember the constant jeering of the fools
Do not forget the clamor of your foes
The unceasing uproar of your enemies
