1 The Lord in his anger has covered Zion with darkness.Its heavenly splendour he has turned into ruins.On the day of his anger he abandoned even his Temple.
2 The Lord destroyed without mercy every village in JudahAnd tore down the forts that defended the land.He brought disgrace on the kingdom and its rulers.
3 In his fury he shattered the strength of Israel;He refused to help us when the enemy came.He raged against us like fire, destroying everything.
4 He aimed his arrows at us like an enemy;He killed all those who were our joy and delight.Here in Jerusalem we felt his burning anger.
