An instruction: of Asaph. Why, O God, hast thou cast off for ever? [why] doth thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture?

Remember thine assembly, which thou hast purchased of old, which thou hast redeemed [to be] the portion of thine inheritance, this mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt.

Lift up thy steps unto the perpetual desolations: everything in the sanctuary hath the enemy destroyed.

Thine adversaries roar in the midst of thy place of assembly; they set up their signs [for] signs.

[A man] was known as he could lift up axes in the thicket of trees;
6 Tedae hai neh a thuk a thingthuk boeih khaw thilung neh nawn a phop uh.
And now they break down its carved work altogether, with hatchets and hammers.

They have set on fire thy sanctuary, they have profaned the habitation of thy name to the ground.

They said in their heart, Let us destroy them together: they have burned up all God's places of assembly in the land.
9 Mahmih kah miknoek khaw m'hmu uh pawh. Tonghm a om voelpawt tih mamih khuiah aka ming thai he mevaeng hil nim a om pawt ve?
We see not our signs; there is no more any prophet, neither is there among us any that knoweth how long.

How long, O God, shall the adversary reproach? Shall the enemy contemn thy name for ever?

Why withdrawest thou thy hand, and thy right hand? [pluck it] out of thy bosom: consume [them].

But God is my king of old, accomplishing deliverances in the midst of the earth.
13 Namah loh tuitunli te na sarhi neh na kak sak tih tui tuihnam rhoek kah a lu te na phop pah.
Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength; thou didst break the heads of the monsters on the waters:
14 Nang loh Leviathan kah a lu te na neet tih kohong ham neh pilnam ham caak la na paek.
Thou didst break in pieces the heads of leviathan, thou gavest him to be meat to those that people the desert.

Thou didst cleave fountain and torrent, thou driedst up ever-flowing rivers.

The day is thine, the night also is thine; thou hast prepared the moon and the sun:
17 Namah loh diklai kah rhilung boeih na suem tih khohal neh sikca khaw namah loh na hlinsai.
Thou hast set all the borders of the earth; summer and winter — thou didst form them.

Remember this, that an enemy hath reproached Jehovah, and a foolish people have contemned thy name.

Give not up the soul of thy turtle-dove unto the wild beast; forget not the troop of thine afflicted for ever.
20 Kuthlahnah rhamtlim te diklai khohmuep khuiah a baetawt dongah paipi te paelki laeh.
Have respect unto the covenant; for the dark places of the earth are full of the dwellings of violence.
21 Mangdaeng hmaithae khaw hlanghnaep pahnap la mael boel saeh lamtah na ming te khodaeng rhoek loh thangthen uh saeh.
Oh let not the oppressed one return ashamed; let the afflicted and needy praise thy name.

Rise up, O God, plead thine own cause: remember how the foolish man reproacheth thee all the day;
23 Nang aka daengdaeh rhoek kah ol te na hnilh moenih. Nang aka tlai thil rhoek kah longlonah tah cet yoeyah.
Forget not the voice of thine adversaries: the tumult of those that rise up against thee ascendeth continually.
