- O God, why have You rejected us forever? Why does Your anger smoke against the sheep of Your pasture?
- Remember Your congregation, which You have purchased of old, Which You have redeemed to be the tribe of Your inheritance; And this Mount Zion, where You have dwelt.
- Turn Your footsteps toward the perpetual ruins; The enemy has damaged everything within the sanctuary.
- Your adversaries have roared in the midst of Your meeting place; They have set up their own standards for signs.
- It seems as if one had lifted up His axe in a forest of trees.

- Why have you rejected us forever, O God? Why does your anger smolder against the sheep of your pasture?
- Remember the people you purchased of old, the tribe of your inheritance, whom you redeemed-- Mount Zion, where you dwelt.
- Turn your steps toward these everlasting ruins, all this destruction the enemy has brought on the sanctuary.
- Your foes roared in the place where you met with us; they set up their standards as signs.
- They behaved like men wielding axes to cut through a thicket of trees.
