1 O Elohim, the Goyim are come into Thine Nachalah; Thy Heikhal Kodesh have they defiled; they have reduced Yerushalayim to rubble.
2 The dead bodies of Thy avadim have they given to be food unto the oph HaShomayim, the basar of Thy Chasidim, unto the beasts of the earth.
3 Their shefach dahm (shedding of blood) is like mayim all around Yerushalayim; and there is none to bury them.
4 We are become a reproach to our shekhenim (neighbors), a scorn and derision to them that are around us.
5 How long, Hashem? Wilt Thou be angry lanetzach (forever)? Shall Thy kina (jealousy) burn like eish?
