3. Make Your way to the everlasting ruins,to all that the enemy has destroyed in the sanctuary.
4. Your adversaries roared in the meeting placewhere You met with us. They set up their emblems as signs.
5. It was like men in a thicket of trees,wielding axes,
6. then smashing all the carvingswith hatchets and picks.
7. They set Your sanctuary on fire;they utterly desecratedthe dwelling place of Your name.
8. They said in their hearts,“Let us oppress them relentlessly.”They burned down every place throughout the landwhere God met with us.
9. There are no signs for us to see.There is no longer a prophet.And none of us knows how long this will last.
10. God, how long will the enemy mock?Will the foe insult Your name forever?
11. Why do You hold back Your hand?Stretch out Your right hand and destroy them!
12. God my King is from ancient times,performing saving acts on the earth.
