- 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.

- O God, why hast thou cast us off for ever? why doth thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture?
- Remember thy congregation, which thou hast purchased of old; the rod of thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed; this mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt.
- Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual desolations; even all that the enemy hath done wickedly in the sanctuary.
- Thine enemies roar in the midst of thy congregations; they set up their ensigns for signs.
- A man was famous according as he had lifted up axes upon the thick trees.
