He does not always accuse, and does not stay angry.

so that he might continue to live forever and not experience death.

Has his loyal love disappeared forever? Has his promise failed forever?

The enemy’s cities have been reduced to permanent ruins; you destroyed their cities; all memory of the enemies has perished.

for the needy are not permanently ignored, the hopes of the oppressed are not forever dashed.

He says to himself, “God overlooks it; he does not pay attention; he never notices.”

Rouse yourself! Why do you sleep, O Lord? Wake up! Do not reject us forever!

Yet God will make you a permanent heap of ruins. He will scoop you up and remove you from your home; he will uproot you from the land of the living. (Selah)

A well-written song by Asaph. Why, O God, have you permanently rejected us? Why does your anger burn against the sheep of your pasture?

How long, O God, will the adversary hurl insults? Will the enemy blaspheme your name forever?

Do not hand the life of your dove over to a wild animal! Do not continue to disregard the lives of your oppressed people!

How long will this go on, O Lord? Will you stay angry forever? How long will your rage burn like fire?

How long, O Lord, will this last? Will you remain hidden forever? Will your anger continue to burn like fire?

Why do you look with envy, O mountains with many peaks, at the mountain where God has decided to live? Indeed the Lord will live there permanently!
