4 Your adversaries roared in the middle of your appointed place; they set up their battle flags.
They roared opposers your in [the] midst of appointed place your they set up signs their signs.
5 They hacked away with axes as in a thick forest.
It was known like [one who] brings upwards in a thicket of tree[s] axes.
6 They smashed and broke down all the engravings; they broke them with axes and hammers.
(And now *Q(K)*) engravings its altogether with axe[s] and crowbars they struck!
7 They set your sanctuary on fire; they desecrated where you live, knocking it to the ground.

9 We do not see any more signs; there is no prophet any more, and no one among us knows how long this will last.
Signs our not we have seen there not still [is] a prophet and not [is] with us [one who] knows until when?
10 How long, God, will the enemy throw insults at you? Will the enemy blaspheme your name forever?
Until when? O God will he taunt [the] opponent will he spurn? [the] enemy name your to perpetuity.
11 Why do you hold back your hand, your right hand? Take your right hand from your garment and destroy them.
Why? do you draw back hand your and right [hand] your from [the] midst of (bosom your *Q(K)*) destroy.
12 Yet God has been my king from ancient times, bringing salvation on the earth.

13 You divided the sea by your strength; you smashed the heads of the sea monsters in the waters.
You you divided by strength your [the] sea you shattered [the] heads of sea monsters on the waters.
14 You crushed the heads of leviathan; you fed him to those living in the wilderness.
You you crushed [the] heads of Leviathan you gave it food to a people to desert-dwellers.
15 You broke open springs and streams; you dried up flowing rivers.
You you broke open a spring and a torrent you you dried up rivers of ever-flowing.
16 The day is yours, and the night is yours also; you set the sun and moon in place.
[belongs] to You day also [belongs] to you night you you prepared a luminary and [the] sun.
17 You have set all the borders of the earth; you have made summer and winter.
You you established all [the] boundaries of [the] earth summer and winter you you formed them.
18 Call to mind how the enemy hurled insults at you, Yahweh, and that a foolish people has blasphemed your name.
Remember this [the] enemy he taunted - O Yahweh and a people foolish they spurned name your.
19 Do not give the life of your dove to a wild animal. Do not forget forever the life of your oppressed people.

20 Remember your covenant, for the dark regions of the land are full of places of violence.
