1 Our God, foreign nationshave taken your land,disgraced your temple,and left Jerusalem in ruins.
2 They have fed the bodiesof your servantsto flesh-eating birds;your loyal people are foodfor savage animals.
3 All Jerusalem is coveredwith their blood,and there is no one leftto bury them.
4 Every nation around ussneers and makes fun.
5 Our Lord, will you keep onbeing angry?Will your angry feelingskeep flaming up like fire?
