4. Your foes roared in the place where you met with us; they set up their standards as signs.
5. They behaved like men wielding axes to cut through a thicket of trees.
6. They smashed all the carved paneling with their axes and hatchets.
7. They burned your sanctuary to the ground; they defiled the dwelling place of your Name.
10. How long will the enemy mock you, O God? Will the foe revile your name forever?
12. But you, O God, are my king from of old; you bring salvation upon the earth.
15. It was you who opened up springs and streams; you dried up the ever flowing rivers.
16. The day is yours, and yours also the night; you established the sun and moon.
17. It was you who set all the boundaries of the earth; you made both summer and winter.
18. Remember how the enemy has mocked you, O LORD, how foolish people have reviled your name.
20. Have regard for your covenant, because haunts of violence fill the dark places of the land.
21. Do not let the oppressed retreat in disgrace; may the poor and needy praise your name.
22. Rise up, O God, and defend your cause; remember how fools mock you all day long.
