2Remember thy Congregation which thou hast purchased of olde: the rod of thine inheritance which thou hast redeemed, this mount Sion, wherein thou hast dwelt. 3Lift vp thy feete vnto the perpetuall desolations: euen all that the enemie hath done wickedly in the Sanctuarie. 4Thine enemies roare in the midst of thy congregations: they set vp their ensignes for signes. 5A man was famous according as he had lifted vp axes vpon the thicke trees. 6But now they breake downe the carued worke thereof at once, with axes and hammers.
