b'Psalms 741A Psalm to give instruction, committed to Asaph. O God, why hast thou put us away forever? why is thy wrath kindled against the sheep of thy pasture?Think upon thy Congregation, which thou hast possessed of old, and on the rod of thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed, and on this mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt.Lift up thy strokes, that thou mayest forever destroy every enemy that doeth evil to the Sanctuary.Thine adversaries roar in the midst of thy Congregation, and set up their banners for signs.He that lifted the axes upon the thick trees, was renowned, as one, that brought a thing to perfection:But now they break down the carved work thereof with axes and hammers.187'
