God heard, and was wroth, and greatly abhorred Israel:

A Psalm of Asaph. O God, the nations are come into thine inheritance: thy holy temple have they defiled; they have laid Jerusalem in heaps.

Help us, O God of our salvation, because of the glory of thy name; and deliver us, and forgive our sins, for thy name's sake.

Wherefore should the nations say, Where is their God? Let the avenging of the blood of thy servants that is shed be known among the nations in our sight.

O God, restore us; and cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved.

Jehovah, God of hosts, how long will thine anger smoke against the prayer of thy people?

Restore us, O God of hosts; and cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved.

The mountains were covered with its shadow, and the branches thereof were [like] cedars of God;

O God of hosts, return, we beseech thee; look down from the heavens, and behold, and visit this vine;

Restore us, O Jehovah, God of hosts; cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved.

To the chief Musician. Upon the Gittith. [A Psalm] of Asaph. Sing ye joyously unto God our strength, shout aloud unto the God of Jacob;

For this is a statute for Israel, an ordinance of the God of Jacob;

There shall no strange god be in thee, neither shalt thou worship any foreign god.

I am Jehovah thy God, that brought thee up out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.

A Psalm of Asaph. God standeth in the assembly of God, he judgeth among the gods.

Arise, O God, judge the earth; for *thou* shalt inherit all the nations.

A Song; a Psalm of Asaph. O God, keep not silence; hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God:

O my God, make them like a whirling thing, like stubble before the wind.

My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of Jehovah; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.
