The enemy has come to an end in perpetual ruins,
And You have uprooted the cities;
The very memory of them has perished.

Turn Your footsteps toward the perpetual ruins;
The enemy has damaged everything within the sanctuary.

A Psalm of Asaph.
O God, the nations have invaded Your inheritance;
They have defiled Your holy temple;
They have laid Jerusalem in ruins.

You have broken down all his walls;
You have brought his strongholds to ruin.

Let his children wander about and beg;
And let them seek sustenance far from their ruined homes.
