Amidst profane praters of perversion, have they gnashed upon me with their teeth.

If, my statutes, they profane, And, my commandments, do not keep:

O God, nations, Have entered thine inheritance, Have profaned thy holy temple, - Have laid Jerusalem in heaps:

They have cast, into the fire, thy sanctuary, To the ground, have they profaned the habitation of thy Name.

Thou hast cast down the covenant of thy Servant, Thou hast profaned, to the earth, his crown;

That I may go in unto the altar of God, Unto GOD, mine exultant joy, - That I may praise thee with the lyre, O God - mine own God!
