Like an enemy, he ·prepared to shoot [bent; drew] his bow,
    and his right hand was against us [Ps. 7:12–13].
Like an ·enemy [foe], he killed
    all ·the good-looking people [L which eye desired];
he poured out his anger like fire
    on the tents of ·Jerusalem [L the daughter of Zion; C the location of the Temple].

The Lord was like an enemy;
    he swallowed up Israel.
He swallowed up all her palaces
    and destroyed all her strongholds.
He has ·caused more [multiplied] moaning and groaning
    for ·Judah [L the daughter of Judah].

He ·cut down [laid waste to; violently treated] his ·Temple [L booth] like a ·garden [vineyard];
    he destroyed the meeting place.
The Lord has made ·Jerusalem [L Zion; C the location of the Temple] forget
    the ·set feasts [or meeting place] and Sabbath days.
He has ·rejected [despised] the king and the priest
    in his great anger.
