Peshitta	Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
1 ܐܠܗܐ ܠܡܢܐ ܛܥܝܬܢܝ ܠܥܠܡ ܘܐܥܫܢܬ ܪܘܓܙܟ ܒܥܢܐ ܕܡܪܥܝܬܟ	1 A Maskil of Asaph. O God, why dost thou cast us off for ever? Why does thy anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture?
2 ܐܬܕܟܪ ܥܕܬܟ ܕܩܢܝܬ ܡܢ ܩܕܝܡ ܘܦܪܩܬ ܫܒܛܐ ܕܝܪܬܘܬܟ ܛܘܪܐ ܕܨܗܝܘܢ ܗܢܐ ܕܫܪܝܬ ܒܗ	2 Remember thy congregation, which thou hast gotten of old, which thou hast redeemed to be the tribe of thy heritage! Remember Mount Zion, where thou hast dwelt.
3 ܐܪܝܡ ܥܒ̈ܕܝܟ ܥܠ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܫܬܩܠܝܢ ܒܥܘܫܢܟ ܟܠ ܕܡܒܐܫ ܒܥܠܕܒܒܐ ܠܩܘܕܫܟ	3 Direct thy steps to the perpetual ruins; the enemy has destroyed everything in the sanctuary!
4 ܐܫܬܒܗܪܘ ܒ̈ܥܠܕܒܒܝܟ ܒܓܘ ܥܐܕܟ ܥܒܕܘ ܐ̈ܬܘܬܗܘܢ ܐ̈ܬܘܬܐ	4 Thy foes have roared in the midst of thy holy place; they set up their own signs for signs.
5 ܘܝܕܥܬ ܐܝܟ ܡܥܠܝܐ ܕܠܥܠ ܐܝܟ ܥܒܐ ܕܩܝ̈ܣܐ ܒܢܪ̈ܓܐ	5 At the upper entrance they hacked the wooden trellis with axes.
6 ܨܠܚܘ ܬܪ̈ܥܐ ܐܟܚܕܐ ܒ̈ܦܠܩܐ ܘܒ̈ܟܘܠܒܐ	6 And then all its carved wood they broke down with hatchets and hammers.
7 ܐܪܡܝܘ ܘܐܘܩܕܘ ܒܢܘܪܐ ܡܩܕܫܟ ܘܛܘܫܘ ܒܐܪܥܐ ܡܫܟܢܐ ܕܫܡܟ	7 They set thy sanctuary on fire; to the ground they desecrated the dwelling place of thy name.
8 ܐܡܪܘ ܒܠܒܗܘܢ ܕܢܘܒܕ ܐܢܘܢ ܐܟܚܕܐ ܘܢܘܒܕ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܥܕܥܐ̈ܕܘܗܝ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܡܢ ܐܪܥܐ	8 They said to themselves, "We will utterly subdue them"; they burned all the meeting places of God in the land.
9 ܐ̈ܬܘܬܗܘܢ ܠܐ ܚܙܘ ܠܝܬ ܬܘܒ ܢܒܝܐ ܐܦ ܠܐ ܐܝܬ ܥܡܢ ܚܟܝܡܐ	9 We do not see our signs; there is no longer any prophet, and there is none among us who knows how long.
10 ܥܕܡܐ ܠܐܡܬܝ ܐܠܗܐ ܡܚܣܕ ܒܥܠܕܒܒܐ ܘܡܪܓܙ ܠܫܡܟ ܠܥܠܡ	10 How long, O God, is the foe to scoff? Is the enemy to revile thy name for ever?
11 ܠܡܢܐ ܐܗܦܟܬ ܐܝܕܟ ܘܝܡܝܢܟ ܡܢ ܓܘ ܥܐܕܟ	11 Why dost thou hold back thy hand, why dost thou keep thy right hand in thy bosom?
12 ܐܠܗܢ ܡܠܟܐ ܗܘ ܕܥܒܕ ܦܘܪܩܢܐ ܒܡܨܥܬܗ̇ ܕܐܪܥܐ	12 Yet God my King is from of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth.
13 ܐܢܬ ܒܥܘܫܢܟ ܦܪܫܬ ܝܡܐ ܘܬܒܪܬ ܪ̈ܝܫܝܗܘܢ ܕܬܢܝ̈ܢܐ ܒܡ̈ܝܐ	13 Thou didst divide the sea by thy might; thou didst break the heads of the dragons on the waters.
14 ܐܢܬ ܪܨܨܬ ܪ̈ܝܫܘܗܝ ܕܠܘܝܬܢ ܘܝܗܒܬܝܗܝ ܡܐܟܘܠܬܐ ܠܥܡܐ ܥܫܝܢܐ	14 Thou didst crush the heads of Leviathan, thou didst give him as food for the creatures of the wilderness.
15 ܐܢܬ ܒܙܥܬ ܡܒ̈ܘܥܐ ܒܢܚ̈ܠܐ ܐܢܬ ܐܘܒܫܬ ܢܗܪ̈ܘܬܐ ܥܫܝ̈ܢܐ	15 Thou didst cleave open springs and brooks; thou didst dry up ever-flowing streams.
16 ܕܝܠܟ ܗܘ ܐܝܡܡܐ ܘܕܝܠܟ ܗܘ ܠܠܝܐ ܐܢܬ ܬܩܢܬ ܢܘܗܪܐ ܘܫܡܫܐ	16 Thine is the day, thine also the night; thou hast established the luminaries and the sun.
17 ܐܢܬ ܐܩܝܡܬ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܬܚ̈ܘܡܝܗ̇ ܕܐܪܥܐ ܩܝܛܐ ܘܣܬܘܐ ܐܢܬ ܒܪܝܬ ܐܢܘܢ	17 Thou hast fixed all the bounds of the earth; thou hast made summer and winter.
18 ܐܬܕܟܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܚܣܕܗ ܕܒܥܠܕܒܒܐ ܥܡܐ ܣܟܠܐ ܐܪܓܙ ܠܫܡܟ	18 Remember this, O LORD, how the enemy scoffs, and an impious people reviles thy name.
19 ܠܐ ܬܬܠ ܠܬܒܪܐ ܢܦܫܐ ܕܡܘܕܝܐ ܠܟ ܘܢܦܫܬ̈ܐ ܕܡܣ̈ܟܢܝܟ ܠܐ ܬܛܥܐ ܠܥܠܡ	19 Do not deliver the soul of thy dove to the wild beasts; do not forget the life of thy poor for ever.
20 ܚܘܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܒܩܝܡܟ ܡܛܠ ܕܐܬ̈ܡܠܝ ܕܝܪ̈ܐ ܕܐܪܥܐ ܚܫܘܟܐ ܘܥܘܠܐ	20 Have regard for thy covenant; for the dark places of the land are full of the habitations of violence.
21 ܠܐ ܢܬܒ ܡܣܟܢܐ ܟܕ ܒܗܝܬ ܒܝܫ̈ܐ ܘܡ̈ܣܟܢܐ ܢܫܒܚܘܢ ܠܫܡܟ	21 Let not the downtrodden be put to shame; let the poor and needy praise thy name.
22 ܩܘܡ ܐܠܗܐ ܘܕܘܢ ܕܝܢܝ̈ܟ ܘܐܬܕܟܪ ܚܣܕܟ ܕܡܢ ܣܟ̈ܠܐ ܕܟܠ ܝܘܡ	22 Arise, O God, plead thy cause; remember how the impious scoff at thee all the day!
23 ܘܠܐ ܬܛܥܐ ܩܠܐ ܕܒ̈ܥܠܕܒܒܝܟ ܘܕܠܘܚܝܐ ܕܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܩܝܡܝܢ ܥܠܝܟ ܕܣܠܩ ܒܟܠܙܒܢ	23 Do not forget the clamor of thy foes, the uproar of thy adversaries which goes up continually!
