17 Why, Lord, do you make us stray from your ways?
You harden our hearts so we do not fear[a] you.(A)

18 Your holy people had a possession[b]
for a little while,
but our enemies have trampled down
your sanctuary.(B)
19 We have become like those you never ruled,
like those who did not bear your name.(C)
