Isaiah 64:10

Prayer For Mercy

⁹ Do not be angry beyond measure, O Lord,
Nor remember iniquity forever;
Behold, look now, all of us are Your people.

Zion has become a wilderness,
Jerusalem a desolation.
¹¹ Our holy and beautiful house,
Where our fathers praised You,
Has been burned by fire;
And all our precious things have become a ruin.
