The adversary hath spread out his hand upon all her pleasant things: for she hath seen that the heathen entered into her sanctuary, whom thou didst command that they should not enter into thy congregation.

They have heard - that, sighing am, I, and am saying - There is none to comfort me, All my foes, - having heard of my calamity - have rejoiced, because, thou, hast done it, - thou hast brought in the day thou didst proclaim, So let them become like me.

All their evil shall come before thee; and do evil to them according as thou didst evil to me for all my transgressions: for many my groanings, and any heart being sad.

See, O Jehovah, and look to whom thou didst accomplish this Shall the women eat their fruit, the children borne upon the hands? shall the priest and the prophet be slain in the holy place of Jehovah?

The youth and old man lay down upon the earth of the streets; my virgins and my young men fell by the sword; thou didst slay in the day of thine anger; thou didst slay, thou didst not pity.

Thou didst cover with anger, and thou wilt pursue us: thou didst slay, thou didst not pity.

Thou didst cover over thyself with a cloud from a prayer passing through.

Thou didst set us the offscouring and despising in the midst of peoples.

Thou didst contend, O Jehovah, the contentions of my soul; thou didst redeem my life.

But rejecting, thou didst reject us; thou wert angry against us even greatly.
