5It seemed as when men wield upwards axes in a thicket of trees.
6And now all the carved work thereof together they strike down with hatchet and hammers.
7They have set Thy sanctuary on fire; they have profaned the dwelling-place of Thy name even to the ground.
8They said in their heart: 'Let us make havoc of them altogether'; they have burned up all the meeting-places of God in the land.
9We see not our signs; there is no more any prophet; neither is there among us any that knoweth how long.
10How long, O God, shall the adversary reproach? Shall the enemy blaspheme Thy name for ever?
11Why withdrawest Thou Thy hand, even Thy right hand? Draw it out of Thy bosom and consume them.
12Yet God is my King of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth.
13Thou didst break the sea in pieces by Thy strength; Thou didst shatter the heads of the sea-monsters in the waters.
14Thou didst crush the heads of leviathan, Thou gavest him to be food to the folk inhabiting the wilderness.
15Thou didst cleave fountain and brook; Thou driedst up ever-flowing rivers.
16Thine is the day, Thine also the night; Thou hast established luminary and sun.
