16 The crown has fallen from our head;woe to us, for we have sinned!
17 For this our heart is faint;for these things our eyes grow dim;
18 because of Mount Zion, which is desolate,with foxes walking upon it.
19 You, O Lord, remain forever;Your throne endures from generation to generation.
20 Why do You forget us forever,and forsake us for so long a time?
21 Restore us to Yourself, O Lord, that we may return!Renew our days as of old,
22 unless You have utterly rejected us,and are very angry with us.
