In the days of her affliction and homelessness
(A)Jerusalem remembers all her precious things
That were from the days of old,
When her people fell into the hand of the adversary
And (B)no one helped her.

They (C)mocked at her [a]ruin.

10 The adversary has stretched out his hand
Over all her precious things,
For she has seen the (A)nations enter her sanctuary,
The ones whom You commanded
That they should (B)not enter into Your congregation.
11 All her people groan (C)seeking bread;
They have given their precious things for food
To (D)restore their [a]lives themselves.
“See, O Lord, and look,
For I am (E)despised.”
