1 מַשְׂכִּיל לְאָסָף לָמָה אֱלֹהִים זָנַחְתָּ לָנֶצַח יֶעְשַׁן אַפְּךָ בְּצֹאן מַרְעִיתֶךָ	1 [Poem Of Asaph] God, why have you final y rejected us, your anger blazing against the flock you usedto pasture?
2 זְכֹר עֲדָתְךָ ׀ קָנִיתָ קֶּדֶם גָּאַלְתָּ שֵׁבֶט נַחֲלָתֶךָ הַר־צִיֹּון זֶה ׀ שָׁכַנְתָּ בֹּו	2 Remember the people you took to yourself long ago, your own tribe which you redeemed, and thisMount Zion where you came to live.
3 הָרִימָה פְעָמֶיךָ לְמַשֻּׁאֹות נֶצַח כָּל־הֵרַע אֹויֵב בַּקֹּדֶשׁ	3 Come up to these endless ruins! The enemy have sacked everything in the sanctuary;
4 שָׁאֲגוּ צֹרְרֶיךָ בְּקֶרֶב מֹועֲדֶךָ שָׂמוּ אֹותֹתָם אֹתֹות	4 your opponents made uproar in the place of assemblies, they fixed their emblems over the entrance,emblems
5 יִוָּדַע כְּמֵבִיא לְמָעְלָה בִּסֲבָךְ־עֵץ קַרְדֻּמֹּות	5 never known before. Their axes deep in the wood,
6 [וְעֵת כ] (וְעַתָּה ק) פִּתּוּחֶיהָ יָּחַד בְּכַשִּׁיל וְכֵילַפֹּת יַהֲלֹמוּן	6 hacking at the panels, they battered them down with axe and pick;
7 שִׁלְחוּ בָאֵשׁ מִקְדָּשֶׁךָ לָאָרֶץ חִלְּלוּ מִשְׁכַּן־שְׁמֶךָ	7 they set fire to your sanctuary, profanely rased to the ground the dwel ing-place of your name.
8 אָמְרוּ בְלִבָּם נִינָם יָחַד שָׂרְפוּ כָל־מֹועֲדֵי־אֵל בָּאָרֶץ	8 They said to themselves, 'Let us crush them at one stroke!' They burned down every sacred shrine inthe land.
9 אֹותֹתֵינוּ לֹא רָאִינוּ אֵין־עֹוד נָבִיא וְלֹא־אִתָּנוּ יֹדֵעַ עַד־מָה	9 We see no signs, no prophet any more, and none of us knows how long it wil last.
10 עַד־מָתַי אֱלֹהִים יְחָרֶף צָר יְנָאֵץ אֹויֵב שִׁמְךָ לָנֶצַח	10 How much longer, God, will the enemy blaspheme? Is the enemy to insult your name for ever?
11 לָמָּה תָשִׁיב יָדְךָ וִימִינֶךָ מִקֶּרֶב [חֹוקְךָ כ] (חֵיקְךָ ק) כַלֵּה	11 Why hold back your hand, keep your right hand hidden in the folds of your robe?
12 וֵאלֹהִים מַלְכִּי מִקֶּדֶם פֹּעֵל יְשׁוּעֹות בְּקֶרֶב הָאָרֶץ	12 Yet, God, my king from the first, author of saving acts throughout the earth,
13 אַתָּה פֹורַרְתָּ בְעָזְּךָ יָם שִׁבַּרְתָּ רָאשֵׁי תַנִּינִים עַל־הַמָּיִם	13 by your power you split the sea in two, and smashed the heads of the monsters on the waters.
14 אַתָּה רִצַּצְתָּ רָאשֵׁי לִוְיָתָן תִּתְּנֶנּוּ מַאֲכָל לְעָם לְצִיִּים	14 You crushed Leviathan's heads, gave him as food to the wild animals.
15 אַתָּה בָקַעְתָּ מַעְיָן וָנָחַל אַתָּה הֹובַשְׁתָּ נַהֲרֹות אֵיתָן	15 You released the springs and brooks, and turned primordial rivers into dry land.
16 לְךָ יֹום אַף־לְךָ לָיְלָה אַתָּה הֲכִינֹותָ מָאֹור וָשָׁמֶשׁ	16 Yours is the day and yours the night, you caused sun and light to exist,
17 אַתָּה הִצַּבְתָּ כָּל־גְּבוּלֹות אָרֶץ קַיִץ וָחֹרֶף אַתָּה יְצַרְתָּם	17 you fixed all the boundaries of the earth, you created summer and winter.
18 זְכָר־זֹאת אֹויֵב חֵרֵף ׀ יְהוָה וְעַם נָבָל נִאֲצוּ שְׁמֶךָ	18 Remember, Yahweh, the enemy's blasphemy, a foolish people insults your name.
19 אַל־תִּתֵּן לְחַיַּת נֶפֶשׁ תֹּורֶךָ חַיַּת עֲנִיֶּיךָ אַל־תִּשְׁכַּח לָנֶצַח	19 Do not surrender your turtledove to the beast; do not forget for ever the life of your oppressed people.

21 אַל־יָשֹׁב דַּךְ נִכְלָם עָנִי וְאֶבְיֹון יְהַלְלוּ שְׁמֶךָ	21 Do not let the downtrodden retreat in confusion, give the poor and needy cause to praise your name.
