Let all their wickedness come before you; Do to them, as you have done to me for all my transgressions: For my sighs are many, and my heart is faint.

Their heart cried to the Lord: wall of the daughter of Zion, let tears run down like a river day and night; Give yourself no respite; don't let the apple of your eye cease.

He has led me and caused me to walk in darkness, and not in light.

Let him sit alone and keep silence, because he has laid it on him.

Let him put his mouth in the dust, if so be there may be hope.

Let him give his cheek to him who strikes him; let him be filled full with reproach.

Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to Yahweh.

Let us lift up our heart with our hands to God in the heavens.

For the iniquity of the daughter of my people is greater than the sin of Sodom, That was overthrown as in a moment, and no hands were laid on her.

Our pursuers were swifter than the eagles of the sky: They chased us on the mountains, they laid wait for us in the wilderness.
