18 Mount Zion has been deserted. Wild dogs are prowling all around on it.
19 Lord, you rule forever. Your throne will last for all time to come.
20 Why do you always forget us? Why have you deserted us for so long?
21 Lord, please bring us back to you. Then we can return. Make our lives like new again.
22 Or have you completely turned away from us? Are you really that angry with us?
