O GOD, why hast thou cast us off, why doth thy rage endure? for ever smoking out against the sheep of thy pasture? verse 2 Thy congregation call to mind of old by thee purchased: the rod of thine inheritance which thou redeemed hast, This mount Zion wherein thou dwellest. verse 3 Lift up thy foot on high, unto the desolations of perpetuity: Thy foe within the Sanctuary hath done all lewd designs. verse 4 Amidst thy Church thy foes do roar: their Banners set for signs. verse 5 The man that axes on thick trees did lift up had renown: verse 6 But now with axe & mauls at once, her carved works they beat down. ⟨image ?⟩verse 7 Thy sanctuaries into fire they cast, the dwelling place of thy name down unto the ground profanely they did raze. verse 8 Let us together them destroy, thus in their hearts they said: Gods Synagogues throughout the land all in the flames they laid.
O GOD, why hast thou cast us off, why doth thy rage indure? for ever smoaking out against the sheep of thy pasture? verse 2 Thy congregation call to minde of old by thee purchast: the rod of thine inheritance which thou redeemed hast, This mount Sion wherin thou dwelst. verse 3 Lift up thy foot on hye, unto the desolations of perpetuity: Thy foe within the Sanctuary hath done all lewd designes. verse 4 Amidst thy Church thy foes doe roare: their Banners set for signes. verse 5 The man that axes on thick trees did lift up had renowne: verse 6 But now with axe & maules at once, her carv'd works they beat downe. ⟨image ?⟩verse 7 Thy sanctuaryes into fire they cast, the dwelling place of thy name downe unto the ground prophanely they did raze. verse 8 Let us together them destroy, thus in their hearts they sayd: Gods Synagogues throughout the land all in the flames they layd.
