Psalms 73:4-15

⁴And they that hate you have boasted in the midst of your feast; they have set up their standards for signs,

⁵ignorantly as it were in the entrance above;

⁶they cut down its doors at once with axes as in a wood of trees; they have broken it down with hatchet and stone cutter.

⁷They have burnt your sanctuary with fire to the ground; they have profaned the habitation of your name.

⁸They have said in their heart, even all their kindred together, Come, let us abolish the feasts of the Lord from the earth.

⁹We have not seen our signs; there is no longer a prophet; and God will not know us any more.

¹⁰How long, O God, shall the enemy reproach? shall the enemy provoke your name forever?

¹¹Therefore turn you away your hand, and your right hand from the midst of your bosom for ever?

¹²But God is our King of old; he has wrought salvation in the midst of the earth.

¹³You did establish the sea, in your might, you did break to pieces the heads of the dragons in the water.

¹⁴You did break to pieces the heads of the dragon; you did give him for meat to the Ethiopian nations.

¹⁵You did cleave fountains and torrents; you dried up mighty rivers.
