Why do You withdraw Your hand, even Your right hand [from judging the enemy]?
Remove Your hand from Your chest, destroy them!

And return into the lap of our neighbors sevenfold
The taunts with which they have taunted You, O Lord.

Remember, O Lord, the reproach of Your servants [scorned, insulted, and disgraced];
How I bear in my heart the reproach of all the many peoples,

With which the reaper does not fill his hand,
Nor the binder of sheaves his arms,

Therefore my spirit is overwhelmed and weak within me [wrapped in darkness];
My heart grows numb within me.
