Thou pursuest in anger, and destroyest them, From under the heavens of Jehovah!

Completed hath Jehovah His fury, He hath poured out the fierceness of His anger, And he kindleth a fire in Zion, And it devoureth her foundations.

The face of Jehovah hath divided them, He doth not add to behold them, The face of priests they have not lifted up, Elders they have not favoured.

The breath of our nostrils -- the anointed of Jehovah, Hath been captured in their pits, of whom we said: `In his shadow we do live among nations.'

Remember, O Jehovah, what hath befallen us, Look attentively, and see our reproach.

Thou, O Jehovah, to the age remainest, Thy throne to generation and generation.

Turn us back, O Jehovah, unto Thee, And we turn back, renew our days as of old.
