14 Our leaders are not allowedto decide cases in court,and young peopleno longer play music.
15 Our hearts are sad;instead of dancing,we mourn.
16 Zion's glory has disappeared!And we are doomedbecause of our sins.
17 We feel sick all overand can't even see straight;
18 our city is in ruins,overrun by wild dogs.
19 You will rule for ever, Lord!You are King for all time.
20 Why have you forgotten usfor so long?
