6. And now, its carvings together With axe and hatchet they break down,
7. They have sent into fire Thy sanctuary, to the earth they polluted the tabernacle of Thy name,
8. They said in their hearts, `Let us oppress them together,' They did burn all the meeting-places of God in the land.
9. Our ensigns we have not seen, There is no more a prophet, Nor with us is one knowing how long.
10. Till when, O God, doth an adversary reproach? Doth an enemy despise thy name for ever?
11. Why dost Thou turn back Thy hand, Even Thy right hand? From the midst of Thy bosom remove [it].
12. And God [is] my king of old, Working salvation in the midst of the earth.
13. Thou hast broken by Thy strength a sea -[monster], Thou hast shivered Heads of dragons by the waters,
14. Thou hast broken the heads of leviathan, Thou makest him food, For the people of the dry places.
15. Thou hast cleaved a fountain and a stream, Thou hast dried up perennial flowings.
16. Thine [is] the day, also Thine [is] the night, Thou hast prepared a light giver--the sun.
