18 Because of Mount Zion, lying desolate,and the jackals roaming there!
19 But you, Lord, are enthroned forever;your throne stands from age to age.
20 Why have you utterly forgotten us,forsaken us for so long?
21 Bring us back to you, Lord, that we may return:renew our days as of old.
22 For now you have indeed rejected usand utterly turned your wrath against us.
