Translated from Hebrew and Greek with AI, then checked for clarity and fidelity.

1. God, why have you rejected us forever? Why does your anger smoke against the flock of your pasture?
2. Remember your congregation, acquired by you long ago, redeemed as the tribe of your inheritance—this Mount Zion, where you dwelt.
3. Lift your feet to the perpetual desolations—all the evil the enemy has done in the sanctuary.
4. Your adversaries roared in the midst of your assembly; they set their signs as signs.
5. They became known for brandishing axes aloft in a thicket of trees.
6. Now they smash its carvings together with axes and hammers.
7. They cast fire into your sanctuary to the ground; they defiled the dwelling of your name.
8. They planned in their hearts to oppress them altogether; they burned all the meeting places of God in the land.
9. We have not seen our signs; there is no prophet any longer, nor anyone among us who knows how long.
10. How long, God, will the adversary reproach? Will the enemy blaspheme your name forever?
11. Why do you hold back your hand, even your right hand, from the midst of your decree, your bosom? Consume them!
12. God is my king from ancient times, working deliverances in the midst of the earth.
13. You split the sea by your might; you broke the heads of the sea monsters upon the waters.
14. You crushed the heads of Leviathan and gave him as food to the people and desert beasts.
15. You split open the spring and the stream; you dried up mighty rivers.
16. The day is yours, the night yours too; you established the light and the sun.
17. You appointed all the earth's boundaries; you fashioned summer and winter.
18. Remember this, Yahweh: the enemy has taunted you, and foolish people have scorned your name.
19. Do not hand the soul of your dove over to the wild beast; do not forget the life of your afflicted forever.
20. Consider the covenant, for the dark places of the earth are filled with habitations of violence.
21. Do not let the crushed return ashamed; let the humble and needy praise your name.
22. Arise, O God, and plead your cause; remember your reproach from the fool all day long.
23. Do not forget the voice of your adversaries; the uproar of those rising against you ascends continually.
