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 were (B)not to enter Your congregation.
11 All her people groan, (C)seeking bread;
They have given their treasures for food
To (D)restore their [a]lives.
“See, Lord, and look,
For I am (E)despised.”

10 The enemy grabbed all her treasures.
She watched nations enter her sanctuary—
nations that you, God,[a] commanded: They must not enter your assembly.

11 All her people are groaning, seeking bread.
They give up their most precious things for food to survive.
Lord, look and take notice: I am most certainly despised.”
