1 O God, why have you rejected us so long?Why is your anger so intense against the sheep of your own pasture?
2 Remember that we are the people you chose long ago,the tribe you redeemed as your own special possession!And remember Jerusalem, your home here on earth.
3 Walk through the awful ruins of the city;see how the enemy has destroyed your sanctuary.
4 There your enemies shouted their victorious battle cries;there they set up their battle standards.
