The Lord (A)has swallowed up (B)without mercy
    all the habitations of Jacob;
in his wrath (C)he has broken down
    the strongholds of the daughter of Judah;
he has brought (D)down to the ground (E)in dishonor
    the kingdom (F)and its rulers.

He has cut down in (G)fierce anger
    all (H)the might of Israel;
(I)he has withdrawn from them his right hand
    in the face of the enemy;
(J)he has burned like a flaming fire in Jacob,
    consuming all around.

(K)He has bent his bow like an enemy,
    with his right hand set (L)like a foe;
and he has killed all who were delightful in our eyes
    in the tent of the daughter of Zion;
he has poured out his fury like fire.
