Arise, O God, Defend Your Cause

A Maskil ^{▼▼Probably a musical or liturgical term} of ^lAsaph.

1 O God, why do you ^mcast us off forever?
Why does your anger ⁿsmoke against ^othe sheep of your pasture?
2 ^pRemember your congregation, which you have ^qpurchased of old,
which you have ^rredeemed to be ^sthe tribe of your heritage!
Remember Mount Zion, ^twhere you have dwelt.

Zechariah 10:1-2

The Restoration for Judah and Israel

1 Ask rain ^ufrom the Lord
in the season of ^vthe spring rain,
from the Lord ^wwho makes the storm clouds,
and ^xhe will give them showers of rain,
to everyone the vegetation in the field.
2 For ^ythe household gods ^zutter nonsense,
and the diviners see lies;
^aathey tell false dreams
and give empty consolation.
Therefore ^abthe people wander like sheep;
they are afflicted for lack of a shepherd.

Acts 14:15-17

15 “Men, ^acwhy are you doing these things? We also are men, ^adof like nature with you, and we bring you good news, that ^aeyou should turn from these ^afvain things to ^aga living God, ^ahwho made the heaven and the earth and the sea and all that is in them. 16 In past generations he ^aiallowed all the nations ^ajto walk in their own ways. 17 Yet ^akhe did not leave himself without witness, for he ^aldid good by ^amgiving you rains from heaven and ^anfruitful seasons, satisfying your hearts with ^aofood and ^apgladness.”
