6 They smashed all of the beautiful wooden walls with their axes and hatchets.
7 They burned your temple to the ground. They polluted the place where your Name is.
8 They had said in their hearts, "We will crush them completely!" They burned every place where you were worshiped in the land.
9 You don't give us miraculous signs anymore. There aren't any prophets left. None of us knows how long that will last.
10 God, how long will your enemies make fun of you? Will they attack you with their words forever?
11 Why don't you help us? Why do you hold back your powerful right hand? Use your strong arms to destroy your enemies!
12 God, you have been my king for a long time. The whole earth has seen you save us over and over again.
