ת TavLet all their wickedness come before You,
and deal with them
as You have dealt with me
because of all my transgressions.
For my groans are many,
and I am sick at heart.

צ TsadeThe hearts of the people cry out to the Lord.
Wall of Daughter Zion,
let your tears run down like a river
day and night.
Give yourself no relief
and your eyes no rest.

He has driven me away and forced me to walk
in darkness instead of light.

He has laid siege against me,
encircling me with bitterness and hardship.

י YodLet him sit alone and be silent,
for God has disciplined him.

Let him put his mouth in the dust—
perhaps there is still hope.

Let him offer his cheek
to the one who would strike him;
let him be filled with shame.

נ NunLet us search out and examine our ways,
and turn back to the Lord.

Let us lift up our hearts and our hands
to God in heaven:

ו VavThe punishment of my dear people
is greater than that of Sodom,
which was overthrown in an instant
without a hand laid on it.
