ק QofArise, cry out in the night
from the first watch of the night.
Pour out your heart like water
before the Lord’s presence.
Lift up your hands to Him
for the lives of your children
who are fainting from hunger
on the corner of every street.

ד DaletHe is a bear waiting in ambush,
a lion in hiding.

It is good for a man to bear the yoke
while he is still young.

ב BetZion’s precious people—
once worth their weight in pure gold—
how they are regarded as clay jars,
the work of a potter’s hands!

Our fathers sinned; they no longer exist,
but we bear their punishment.
