O
God, why hast
thou
cast
us off
for

thine
anger smoke
against the sheep of thy

you
have
lived
.
Remember thy
congregation, which thou
hast
purchased of old ;
the rod
of thine
inheritance ,

Lift up your

for

behaved
like

in the land where
God

worshiped
.

Neither is there among us anyone
who
knows
how long.

our

name forever
?

right hand? pluck
it out of thy
bosom.

thee
daily
.

adversaries.
The tumult of those who
rise up against you

enemies:
the tumult of those that
rise up against thee
increaseth
continually.
