I reach out my hands for your commandments, which I love. I will meditate on your statutes. ZAYIN

ZAYIN. Remember the word unto thy servant, Because thou hast made me to hope.

(Zayin) Jerusalem remembers, when she became a poor homeless person, all her treasures that she owned in days of old. When her people fell into an enemy's grip, none of her allies came to her rescue. Her enemies gloated over her; they sneered at her downfall.

(Zayin) The Lord rejected his altar and abhorred his temple. He handed over to the enemy her palace walls; the enemy shouted in the Lord's temple as if it were a feast day.

(Zayin) Remember my impoverished and homeless condition, which is a bitter poison.

(Zayin) Her consecrated ones were brighter than snow, whiter than milk; their bodies more ruddy than corals, their hair like lapis lazuli.
